Send channel

POST /v1/channel/{channel}/send

Delivers text, attachments and actions to one room on a connected chat transport — discord, github, linear, slack, teams, telegram or whatsapp — and answers that transport's own receipt, the messageId it assigned and the Unix second it landed. An unknown channel is a 404.

The body is the envelope's NARROW outbound projection: room, text, attachments, actions, replyTo and idempotency, and nothing else. Identity is not a field — the channel is the path segment and the sender is the caller's validated org — so a body carrying sender, account or channel is refused with 400 rather than having it silently dropped. room.id is required, and so is something to say: text, or at least one attachment.

Requires a validated principal; 401 without one. The room must already belong to the caller's org — each transport verifies the binding itself, so a room this org has not bound is 403 and a room whose route the bot has never learned is 409, meaning someone has to message the bot there first. A route learned only so a pairing reply could be delivered lasts exactly as long as that pairing request does, so a room whose sender was never approved goes back to 409 within the hour. A transport that fails answers 502 carrying status and shape only, never a token.

Sending is at-most-once only if you ask for it: pass an idempotency string and a replay answers 200 with the PRIOR receipt instead of sending twice, while a send that fails releases the key so the caller can re-attempt. Bodies over 1 MiB are refused. Every transport currently renders text only, so attachments and actions are flattened deterministically to one line each after the text rather than dropped.

Request

1 field.

Response

The document declares no response body for this operation. It answers 200 on success and the platform error shape on failure — see Errors.
