Adapters

Admin and audit
Slack

Adapters authenticate platform events, normalize them into ChatMessage, and render replies, activity, approvals, todos, and attachments through native APIs.

Adapter Transport Default trigger Continuation
Slack Socket Mode DMs and app mentions Native thread
Discord Gateway DMs, mentions, and replies Reply chain
Telegram Long polling Private chat, mentions, and replies Reply chain or forum topic
Webhook HTTP Every accepted request Supplied session/thread IDs
Local In-process Every received message Supplied IDs

Bot self-messages never trigger a turn. Other bots are denied unless enabled by allow.bots.

Shared configuration

  • id: stable storage and routing identity;
  • allow: DM, channel, user, group, and bot filters;
  • admins: actors with administrative and approval privileges;
  • approvers: additional actors who may answer approvals;
  • approvals: native layout and timeout;
  • busy: queue, steer, or reject follow-ups during active work;
  • events: replace or disable normalized lifecycle handlers.

See Access control, Approvals, and Conversation behavior for shared semantics.

Use stable adapter IDs. Changing an ID creates a new storage, memory, workspace, and conversation namespace.
