Message Center

Browse, send, and manage messages across all connected channels

The Message Center lets you interact with messages across all your connected channels from a single interface. You can browse message history, send new messages, reply to existing ones, add reactions, pin messages, and execute platform-specific actions — all from the dashboard.

Routes

• /messages — opens the Message Center with the default (first) channel selected
• /messages/:type — opens the Message Center pre-filtered to a specific channel type (e.g., messages/discord, messages/telegram)

Backing RPC

• channels.list — channel picker contents
• channels.capabilities(channel_type) — determines which actions are available for the selected channel
• channels.get(channel_type) — bot identity (used to label the operator attribution dialog)
• messages.list(channel_type, chat_id, limit?) — recent messages
• messages.send, messages.reply, messages.react, messages.edit, messages.delete — compose and modify
• messages.sendAttachment — multipart upload
• discord_action, telegram_action, slack_action, whatsapp_action — platform-specific actions

Every send/edit/delete action requires a confirmation dialog that explicitly attributes the action to the operator (not the agent), so the audit log records who did the action.

What You See

Channel and Chat Selectors

At the top of the page, a breadcrumb trail shows navigation context (Channels > selected channel > Messages). Below it, two dropdown selectors let you choose:

• Channel — pick which messaging platform to browse (Discord, Telegram, Slack, WhatsApp, etc.)
• Chat — pick which specific conversation/chat within that channel to view

When you change the channel, the chat list updates to show available conversations for that platform.

Message List

The main area displays recent messages sorted by timestamp (oldest first). Each message row shows:

Element	Description
Sender	The sender’s platform-specific user ID
Text	The message content (plain text or formatted)
Timestamp	Relative time since the message was sent
Actions	Reply, React, Edit, Delete buttons (availability depends on platform capabilities)

Click a message row to select it. The selected message highlights and becomes the target for reply and platform actions that require a message ID.

Message Actions

Depending on the platform’s capabilities, you can perform these actions on messages:

• Reply — compose a reply to a selected message (opens a confirmation dialog with operator attribution)
• React — add an emoji reaction from a curated set of 24 common emoji
• Edit — modify a sent message (only available if the platform supports editMessages)
• Delete — remove a message (only available if the platform supports deleteMessages, with a confirmation dialog)

Send Form

Below the message list, a compose area lets you send new messages to the current channel and chat. Sending requires confirmation via a dialog that shows operator attribution — messages sent from the dashboard are clearly identified as coming from the operator, not the AI agent.

Attachment Form

You can attach files to messages with support for four attachment types: image, file, audio, and video. Select the attachment type, choose a file, and send it to the current conversation.

Platform Actions

At the bottom, an expandable section shows platform-specific actions grouped by category. Available actions vary by platform:

• Discord — Pin/Unpin messages, Kick/Ban/Unban users, Set Topic, Set Slowmode, Send Typing, Create/List Threads, Guild Info, Channel Info
• Telegram — Pin/Unpin messages, Ban/Unban/Restrict/Promote/Demote users, Set Chat Title/Description, Send Typing, Chat Info, Member Count, Get Admins
• Slack — Pin/Unpin messages, Set Topic/Purpose, Archive/Unarchive Channel, Send Typing, Invite/Kick users, List Members, Channel Info, Add Bookmark
• WhatsApp — Group Info, Update Subject/Description, Get Invite Code, Add/Remove Participants, Promote/Demote Admins, Group Settings

Each action is executed via RPC and results are displayed inline.
