Chat Channels

Mayros can talk to you on any chat app you already use. Each channel connects via the Gateway. Text is supported everywhere; media and reactions vary by channel.

Supported channels

  • WhatsApp โ€” Most popular; uses Baileys and requires QR pairing.
  • Telegram โ€” Bot API via grammY; supports groups.
  • Discord โ€” Discord Bot API + Gateway; supports servers, channels, and DMs.
  • IRC โ€” Classic IRC servers; channels + DMs with pairing/allowlist controls.
  • Slack โ€” Bolt SDK; workspace apps.
  • Feishu โ€” Feishu/Lark bot via WebSocket (plugin, installed separately).

Notes

  • Channels can run simultaneously; configure multiple and Mayros will route per chat.
  • Fastest setup is usually Telegram (simple bot token). WhatsApp requires QR pairing and stores more state on disk.
  • Group behavior varies by channel; see Groups.
  • DM pairing and allowlists are enforced for safety; see Security.
  • Telegram internals: grammY notes.
  • Troubleshooting: Channel troubleshooting.
  • Model providers are documented separately; see Model Providers.
