summary: "Inbound event helpers for channel plugins: context building, shared runner orchestration, session record, and prepared reply dispatch"
|
|
title: "Channel inbound API"
|
|
read_when:
|
|
- You are building or refactoring a messaging channel plugin receive path
|
|
- You need shared inbound context construction, session recording, or prepared reply dispatch
|
|
- You are migrating old channel turn helpers to inbound/message APIs
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
Channel receive paths follow one flow:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
platform event -> inbound facts/context -> agent reply -> message delivery
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Use `openclaw/plugin-sdk/channel-inbound` for inbound event normalization,
|
|
formatting, roots, and orchestration. Use
|
|
`openclaw/plugin-sdk/channel-outbound` for native send, receipt, durable
|
|
delivery, and live preview behavior.
|
|
|
|
## Core helpers
|
|
|
|
```ts
|
|
import {
|
|
buildChannelInboundEventContext,
|
|
runChannelInboundEvent,
|
|
dispatchChannelInboundReply,
|
|
} from "openclaw/plugin-sdk/channel-inbound";
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- `buildChannelInboundEventContext(...)`: projects normalized channel facts
|
|
into the prompt/session context. Pass channel-owned sender/chat metadata
|
|
through `channelContext`, which plugin hooks see as `ctx.channelContext`.
|
|
Augment `PluginHookChannelSenderContext` or `PluginHookChannelChatContext`
|
|
from this subpath for channel-specific fields.
|
|
- `runChannelInboundEvent(...)`: runs ingest, classify, preflight, resolve,
|
|
record, dispatch, and finalize for one inbound platform event.
|
|
- `dispatchChannelInboundReply(...)`: records and dispatches an already
|
|
assembled inbound reply with a delivery adapter.
|
|
|
|
Bundled/native channels that already receive the injected plugin runtime
|
|
object can call the same helpers under `runtime.channel.inbound.*` instead of
|
|
importing this subpath directly:
|
|
|
|
```ts
|
|
await runtime.channel.inbound.run({
|
|
channel: "demo",
|
|
accountId,
|
|
raw: platformEvent,
|
|
adapter: {
|
|
ingest: normalizePlatformEvent,
|
|
resolveTurn: resolveInboundReply,
|
|
},
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Assemble `dispatchChannelInboundReply(...)` inputs for compatibility
|
|
dispatchers that keep platform delivery in the delivery adapter. New send
|
|
paths should use message adapters and durable message helpers from
|
|
`channel-outbound` instead.
|
|
|
|
## Migration
|
|
|
|
`runtime.channel.turn.*` runtime aliases were removed. Use:
|
|
|
|
- `runtime.channel.inbound.run(...)` for raw inbound events.
|
|
- `runtime.channel.inbound.dispatchReply(...)` for assembled reply contexts.
|
|
- `runtime.channel.inbound.buildContext(...)` for inbound context payloads.
|
|
- `runtime.channel.inbound.runPreparedReply(...)`, deprecated, only for
|
|
channel-owned prepared dispatch paths that already assemble their own
|
|
dispatch closure.
|
|
|
|
New plugin code should not introduce `turn`-named channel APIs. Keep model or
|
|
agent turn vocabulary inside agent/provider code; channel plugins use inbound,
|
|
message, delivery, and reply terms.
