Communicators connect a Friday workspace to a chat platform so users can converse with it on the platform of their choice. The same agents, skills, and state that power Friday’s web chat respond on Slack, Discord, Telegram, WhatsApp, or Microsoft Teams — you just plug in a bot.

How to connect

Connecting a communicator takes two parts:
  1. In the platform’s developer portal, create the bot and copy the credentials (bot token, signing secret, etc.). Each provider page walks through this.
  2. In Studio, open the workspace’s Info tab, find the Communicators card, click Connect on the platform, and paste the credentials. Studio stores them securely and wires up the webhook for you.

Once connected, the workspace’s workspace.yml records which communicators are active:

  slack:
    kind: slack
No secrets in the YAML — credentials are stored separately and scoped to the workspace.

Inbound paths

Slack, Telegram, WhatsApp, and Teams deliver events to your Friday instance over HTTPS, so they need a public URL. Friday ships a local development tunnel that exposes your instance automatically. Discord is the exception: your instance connects out to Discord, so no public URL is needed.
