Chat Channels

Chat Channels let you message the built-in Dokki Agent from a supported messaging service without opening Dokki first.

Connect a channel

  • Open Workspace → Extensions → Connect → Channels.

  • Choose a supported channel and select Connect.

  • Complete the provider's setup steps.

  • Choose the Dokki workspace the channel should use.

  • After setup, send a simple question that refers to a resource in the selected workspace to confirm the connection.

What you can do

Use a channel for quick questions, summaries, follow-ups, and requests that can be handled by Dokki Agent in the selected workspace. Continue complex editing or access management in Dokki, where you can review the full resource and controls.

Access and privacy

The channel uses the workspace selected during setup. It does not make private resources public, and people in the external chat service do not automatically become Dokki workspace members.

Change or disconnect a channel

Return to Connect → Channels to change the selected workspace, reconnect an expired provider account, or disconnect the channel.

Troubleshooting

  • Confirm that the channel shows as connected.

  • Check that it points to the intended workspace.

  • If replies stop, reconnect the provider account and try a new message.

  • Open Dokki directly when a request needs an approval or resource access change.
