symbi-channel-adapter

Chat channel adapters for the Symbi platform — bidirectional Slack, Teams, and Mattermost integration for AI agents.

Overview

symbi-channel-adapter provides a ChannelAdapter trait and platform-specific implementations that let users invoke Symbi agents directly from chat platforms and receive policy-enforced, audit-logged responses.

Features

Usage

use symbi_channel_adapter::{ChannelAdapterManager, ChannelConfig, SlackConfig};

let config = ChannelConfig {
    platform: SlackConfig {
        bot_token: std::env::var("SLACK_BOT_TOKEN").unwrap(),
        app_token: std::env::var("SLACK_APP_TOKEN").unwrap(),
        signing_secret: std::env::var("SLACK_SIGNING_SECRET").unwrap(),
        ..Default::default()
    }.into(),
    ..Default::default()
};

let manager = ChannelAdapterManager::new(config);

Architecture

The crate is built around a few core abstractions:

• ChannelAdapter — trait for sending/receiving messages on a chat platform
• InboundHandler — trait for processing incoming messages and slash commands
• ChannelAdapterManager — orchestrates multiple adapters with health checks and lifecycle management
• AgentInvoker — trait bridging chat messages to Symbi agent execution

Each platform adapter handles authentication, signature verification, and message formatting specific to its platform.
