Messaging channels (iMessage, Telegram, WhatsApp)

What it is

Messaging channels let you connect your Aden team to iMessage, Telegram, or WhatsApp. Once connected, the Aden bot can answer questions about your tracks, albums, and team directly in those conversations — no need to open the web app.

The bot can currently read track and album information for the connected team. You talk to it in natural language from your phone.

Using it

Connect iMessage

1. Open your team's Settings → Chat setup page.
2. Click Connect under iMessage.
3. A one-time code and QR code appear. You have 10 minutes.
4. On your iPhone, scan the QR code with the camera — Messages opens with the message prefilled. Tap send. Alternatively, tap Open Messages or copy the code and send link <code> manually to the Aden iMessage number.
5. The bot replies confirming the team is linked.

Connect Telegram

1. Open Settings → Chat setup and click Connect under Telegram.
2. Tap Open Telegram — this opens a t.me URL pointing at the Aden bot with the code embedded.
3. In the Telegram chat, press Start (or send /start). The bot confirms the link within a few seconds.
4. Alternatively, copy the URL and open it on any device.

Connect WhatsApp

1. Open Settings → Chat setup and click Connect under WhatsApp.
2. Tap Open WhatsApp — WhatsApp opens with the message prefilled.
3. Send the message (link <code>) to the Aden business number.
4. The bot replies confirming the team is linked.
5. If the deep link is unavailable, copy the message text and send it manually to the Aden WhatsApp business number.

Each connection is good for the life of the API key. You can generate a new link code at any time; old codes are abandoned (not revoked).
