How connecting works
Every channel follows the same three steps. The credential-gathering (step 1) differs per platform — that’s what each channel page walks you through.1
Get your credentials
Create the bot / app / number on the platform (Telegram, Meta, Twilio, LINE…) and copy the keys. Each channel page below has the exact clicks.
2
Connect in ChatterMate
Open Settings → Integrations, find the channel card, and click Connect. Paste your credentials — or, for Slack and the Meta channels, approve the sign-in popup and pick the account. ChatterMate encrypts every credential at rest and — where the platform supports it — registers the inbound webhook for you automatically.
3
Assign an AI agent
Right after connecting, ChatterMate asks which AI agent should answer this channel. Pick one and click Assign agent. You can change it any time from the card’s Manage button.
One inbox for every channel
Once connected, messages from all channels flow into Conversations. Each chat carries a badge showing where it came from (Slack, Email, LINE…), and your team replies from the same place — whether the customer is on WhatsApp or the website widget.
Human handover reaches every channel
When a teammate clicks Take Over Chat, their replies go back out on the customer’s original channel — the Telegram chat, the Slack thread, the email thread — not just the widget. The AI steps aside until the conversation is handed back.Good to know
Credentials are encrypted
All channel tokens and secrets are Fernet-encrypted at rest, and every inbound webhook is signature-verified before it’s processed.
Bring your own accounts
Every channel is bring-your-own-credentials. Self-hosters create their own bots/apps; nothing depends on ChatterMate’s own platform approvals.
Rating is widget-only
ChatterMate never asks customers to rate the conversation on external channels — the rating prompt is exclusive to the website chat widget.
Per-agent routing
Each channel is answered by the AI agent you assign, so different products or brands can have their own agent and knowledge base.
Self-hosting? Inbound webhooks need a public HTTPS URL. Set
BACKEND_URL to your public backend domain so ChatterMate can build and register webhook URLs the platforms can reach.
