Triggered after the chat receives a response from the agent and the response renders in the UI. Use this event for post-processing, analytics, or triggering follow-up actions.

## Event properties

<ParamField path="type" type="string" required>
  Always `'receive'`.
</ParamField>

<ParamField path="message" type="object" required>
  The agent's response that was rendered.
</ParamField>

## Example

```javascript theme={null}
instance.on('receive', (event, instance) => {
    console.log('Message received:', event.message);
    
    // Hide typing indicator
    hideTypingIndicator();
    
    // Auto-scroll to latest message
    instance.doAutoScroll();
    
    // Log to analytics
    analytics.track('message_received', {
        messageId: event.message.id,
        timestamp: Date.now()
    });
});
```
