Class: TelegramChannelAdapter

Defined in: packages/agentos/src/io/channels/adapters/TelegramChannelAdapter.ts:67

Channel adapter for Telegram using the Telegraf SDK.

Uses dynamic import so telegraf is only required at runtime when the adapter is actually initialized. Falls back to grammy if telegraf is not available.

Capabilities: text, rich_text, images, video, audio, voice_notes, stickers, reactions, buttons, inline_keyboard, group_chat, channels, editing, deletion.

Parameters

conversationId

string

messageId

string

doConnect()

protected doConnect(auth): Promise<void>

Defined in: packages/agentos/src/io/channels/adapters/TelegramChannelAdapter.ts:104

Establish the platform connection using the supplied credentials. Called by initialize after state has been set to connecting. Must throw on failure — the base class handles retry and state changes.

Parameters

auth

ChannelAuthConfig & object

Returns

Promise<void>

Overrides

BaseChannelAdapter.doConnect

---

doSendMessage()

protected doSendMessage(conversationId, content): Promise<ChannelSendResult>

Defined in: packages/agentos/src/io/channels/adapters/TelegramChannelAdapter.ts:203

Deliver a message to the external platform. Called by sendMessage only when the adapter is connected.

Parameters

conversationId

string

content

MessageContent

Returns

Promise<ChannelSendResult>

Overrides

BaseChannelAdapter.doSendMessage

---

doShutdown()

protected doShutdown(): Promise<void>

Defined in: packages/agentos/src/io/channels/adapters/TelegramChannelAdapter.ts:288

Release platform resources (close WebSocket, stop polling, etc.). Called by shutdown before the state transitions to disconnected.

Returns

Promise<void>

Overrides

BaseChannelAdapter.doShutdown

---

editMessage()

---

emitConnectionChange()

protected emitConnectionChange(): void

Defined in: packages/agentos/src/io/channels/adapters/BaseChannelAdapter.ts:296
