Channels Overview

A slave connects to messaging platforms through channels. One slave instance can handle all channels simultaneously.

Supported channels

How channels work

Each channel is an adapter that translates platform-specific messages into a unified format the slave understands. The slave processes the message, generates a response, and the adapter translates it back.

Enabling a channel

In your config:

{
  "channels": {
    "telegram": {
      "enabled": true,
      "token": "your-bot-token"
    }
  }
}

Each channel has specific credential requirements. Refer to individual channel guides for setup details.
