Channels are how people talk to the gateway (for example: Telegram or WhatsApp). Example: enable Telegram to let DMs reach the gateway. Channels connect messaging platforms to the gateway and deliver outbound text responses back to those platforms.

Built-in channels

​
Shared settings

All channels support:
  • enabled: turn the adapter on/off.
  • allow_from: sender IDs that bypass pairing checks.
  • groups: allowed group chat IDs (* to allow all).
  • require_mention: require a bot mention in groups.

​
Group behavior

If require_mention is true and a message does not mention the bot, the gateway ignores it.
