moltbot channels

Channels are how Moltbot talks to the outside world. The gateway owns the channel connections — so keep it running while you set this up.

The mental model

  • Gateway must be running.
  • You authenticate or configure a channel (Telegram / WhatsApp / Discord…)
  • Then you test by sending a message and watching logs.

When Telegram isn't working

1
Tail logs first
moltbot logs →
2
Check bot privacy + group mention rules
Group mentions →
3
Confirm chat id & routing
