Settings: Channels
Channels let Row-Bot receive or send messages through external apps. Use them when you want Row-Bot available outside the desktop window or when workflows should deliver results somewhere specific.
Where To Find It
Open Settings, then choose Channels from the left tab list.
Controls
- Each channel expands into credential fields, status, and controls.
- Save stores that channel's settings.
- Start and Stop control the channel runtime.
- Tunnel settings connect the channel to an externally reachable webhook when required.
- DM Pairing Code helps approve a user before private-message access is allowed.
- Paired Users shows who is approved and allows revocation.
- Setup Guide explains provider-specific prerequisites.
Common Workflow
- Configure tunnel credentials in System if the channel needs a webhook.
- Add the channel's required token, URL, or account details.
- Save, then Start the channel.
- Pair or approve users before trusting inbound private messages.
- Use workflow delivery defaults to decide where automated results go.
What Is Saved
Channel settings are global. Messages sent through a channel leave the local app and follow that platform's rules.
Privacy And Safety
Review credential, account, channel, provider, or tool settings before enabling features that can contact outside services. Local-only features stay on your machine until you ask Row-Bot to use a provider, account, channel, MCP server, plugin, or tool that sends data elsewhere.
Control-Level Reference
The generated Settings Controls reference lists the visible controls found in the current application source, including defaults, allowed values when they are declared inline, dependencies, restart notes, security notes, and source locations.
Troubleshooting
- If a channel will not start, check required fields and tunnel status.
- If messages do not arrive, verify webhook URLs and platform permissions.
- If a user should no longer have access, revoke them from Paired Users.
