How to join, participate in, and leave group conversations on messaging platforms (WhatsApp, Signal, Telegram, etc.). Use when the owner tags the agent into...

βš™οΈ Configuration

channels..groupPolicy, groupAllowFrom, and groups.*.requireMention are set so that only the owner can wake you in any group by default. Trigger phrases are defined in agents.list[main].groupChat.mentionPatterns. This applies to WhatsApp, Signal, Telegram, and other supported platforms.

πŸ“‹ Tips & Best Practices

  • Group ID is in inbound message metadata (chat_id / from field)
  • Config changes hot-reload β€” no gateway restart or Docker restart needed
  • When closing, set requireMention: true for the specific group entry (or remove it to fall back to the wildcard default)
  • groupAllowFrom: ["*"] combined with groupPolicy: "allowlist" is the correct secure pattern β€” open sender filter, restricted group allowlist
