Telegram and Discord can be connected as bot channels for inbound and outbound assistant chat.
Channels
Chat with Friday from Telegram and Discord.
A message arrives from a channel, Friday runs an agent turn, and the reply is delivered back through the same channel. Each channel has its own enabled state, secrets, allow-lists, targets, and DM policy.
Same agent turn
Channel messages run the same permissioned assistant flow as the desktop chat.
DM policies
Four policy modes — Allowlist, Pairing, Open, or Deny — control who can reach the agent directly.
