Channels

In the chn.yml you can insert the credentials for a Telegram Bot, Twilio phone number, and/or Slack App.

telegram:
  bot_key: MY_BOT_KEY

twilio:
  account_sid: MY_ACCOUNT_SID
  auth_token: MY_AUTH_TOKEN
  number: MY_NUMBER

slack:
  token: MY_SLACK_TOKEN
  app_token: MY_SLACK_APP_TOKEN

Note

You can leave these fields empty and set the corresponding environment variable names with the CHATTO_CHN prefix, for example:

telegram:
  bot_key:    # CHATTO_CHN_TELEGRAM_BOT_KEY=this-is-my-telegram-bot-key

Telegram

You can connect your Chatto bot to Telegram by providing your Telegram Bot Key, either directly in the chn.yml file or by setting the CHATTO_CHN_TELEGRAM_BOT_KEY environment variable.

You must set the bot's webhook to the /channels/telegram endpoint in order to receive messages.

Twilio

Similarly, connect your bot to Twilio by adding your credentials to the file or by setting the corresponding environment variables (CHATTO_CHN_TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID, etc.).

You must set the webhooks to the /channels/twilio endpoint in order to receive messages.

Twilio

Slack

You can connect your bot to your Slack workspace by adding your Slack App Tokens to the chn.yml file directly or set the CHATTO_CHN_SLACK_TOKEN and CHATTO_CHN_SLACK_APP_TOKEN environment variables.

Event Subscriptions

You can use Slack Event Subscriptions to interact with your bot. To receive messages make sure you:

Enable Event Subscriptions and set the request URL to /channels/slack.
Subscribe to app_mention and message.im events.

Socket Mode

You can also use your bot in Slack's socket mode. To do this:

Enable Socket Mode on your app.
Add the generated token to the chn.yml as app_token, along with the bot token. The file should look like this:
```
slack:
  token: xoxb-my-bot-token
  app_token: xapp-1-my-app-token
```

Slack

Delay

You can set a delay between messages being sent from the channels:

telegram:
  bot_key: MY_BOT_KEY
  delay: 1s
