# Channels

# `equabot channels`

Manage chat channel accounts and their runtime status on the Gateway.

Related docs:

* Channel guides: [Channels](/channels/index)
* Gateway configuration: [Configuration](/gateway/configuration)

## Common commands

```bash theme={null}
equabot channels list
equabot channels status
equabot channels capabilities
equabot channels capabilities --channel discord --target channel:123
equabot channels resolve --channel slack "#general" "@jane"
equabot channels logs --channel all
```

## Add / remove accounts

```bash theme={null}
equabot channels add --channel telegram --token <bot-token>
equabot channels remove --channel telegram --delete
```

Tip: `equabot channels add --help` shows per-channel flags (token, app token, signal-cli paths, etc).

## Login / logout (interactive)

```bash theme={null}
equabot channels login --channel whatsapp
equabot channels logout --channel whatsapp
```

## Troubleshooting

* Run `equabot status --deep` for a broad probe.
* Use `equabot doctor` for guided fixes.
* `equabot channels list` prints `Claude: HTTP 403 ... user:profile` → usage snapshot needs the `user:profile` scope. Use `--no-usage`, or provide a claude.ai session key (`CLAUDE_WEB_SESSION_KEY` / `CLAUDE_WEB_COOKIE`), or re-auth via Claude Code CLI.

## Capabilities probe

Fetch provider capability hints (intents/scopes where available) plus static feature support:

```bash theme={null}
equabot channels capabilities
equabot channels capabilities --channel discord --target channel:123
```

Notes:

* `--channel` is optional; omit it to list every channel (including extensions).
* `--target` accepts `channel:<id>` or a raw numeric channel id and only applies to Discord.
* Probes are provider-specific: Discord intents + optional channel permissions; Slack bot + user scopes; Telegram bot flags + webhook; Signal daemon version; MS Teams app token + Graph roles/scopes (annotated where known). Channels without probes report `Probe: unavailable`.

## Resolve names to IDs

Resolve channel/user names to IDs using the provider directory:

```bash theme={null}
equabot channels resolve --channel slack "#general" "@jane"
equabot channels resolve --channel discord "My Server/#support" "@someone"
equabot channels resolve --channel matrix "Project Room"
```

Notes:

* Use `--kind user|group|auto` to force the target type.
* Resolution prefers active matches when multiple entries share the same name.
