# Providers & Routing
# Providers & routing
Updated: 2026-01-06
Goal: deterministic replies per provider, while supporting multi-agent + multi-account routing.
Clawdbot routes replies **back to the provider where a message came from**. The
model does not choose a provider; routing is deterministic and controlled by the
host configuration.
- **Provider**: provider label (`whatsapp`, `webchat`, `telegram`, `discord`, `signal`, `imessage`, …). Routing is fixed: replies go back to the origin provider; the model doesnt choose.
- **AccountId**: provider account instance (e.g. WhatsApp account `"default"` vs `"work"`). Not every provider supports multi-account yet.
- **AgentId**: one isolated “brain” (workspace + per-agent agentDir + per-agent session store).
- **Reply context:** inbound replies include `ReplyToId`, `ReplyToBody`, and `ReplyToSender`, and the quoted context is appended to `Body` as a `[Replying to ...]` block.
- **Canonical direct session (per agent):** direct chats collapse to `agent:<agentId>:<mainKey>` (default `main`). Groups/channels stay isolated per agent:
- group: `agent:<agentId>:<provider>:group:<id>`
- channel/room: `agent:<agentId>:<provider>:channel:<id>`
- Telegram forum topics: `agent:<agentId>:telegram:group:<chatId>:topic:<threadId>`
- **Session store:** per-agent store lives under `~/.clawdbot/agents/<agentId>/sessions/sessions.json` (override via `session.store` with `{agentId}` templating). JSONL transcripts live next to it.
- **WebChat:** attaches to the selected agents main session (so desktop reflects cross-provider history for that agent).
- **Implementation hints:**
- Set `Provider` + `AccountId` in each ingress.
- Route inbound to an agent via `routing.bindings` (match on `provider`, `accountId`, plus optional peer/guild/team).
- Keep routing deterministic: originate → same provider. Use the gateway WebSocket for sends; avoid side channels.
- Do not let the agent emit “send to X” decisions; keep that policy in the host code.
## Key terms
- **Provider**: `whatsapp`, `telegram`, `discord`, `slack`, `signal`, `imessage`, `webchat`.
- **AccountId**: perprovider account instance (when supported).
- **AgentId**: an isolated workspace + session store (“brain”).
- **SessionKey**: the internal bucket key used to store context and control concurrency.
## Session key shapes (examples)
Direct messages collapse to the agents **main** session:
- `agent:<agentId>:<mainKey>` (default: `agent:main:main`)
Groups and channels remain isolated per provider:
- Groups: `agent:<agentId>:<provider>:group:<id>`
- Channels/rooms: `agent:<agentId>:<provider>:channel:<id>`
Threads:
- Slack/Discord threads append `:thread:<threadId>` to the base key.
- Telegram forum topics embed `:topic:<topicId>` in the group key.
Examples:
- `agent:main:telegram:group:-1001234567890:topic:42`
- `agent:main:discord:channel:123456:thread:987654`
## Routing rules (how an agent is chosen)
Routing picks **one agent** for each inbound message:
1. **Exact peer match** (`routing.bindings` with `peer.kind` + `peer.id`).
2. **Guild match** (Discord) via `guildId`.
3. **Team match** (Slack) via `teamId`.
4. **Account match** (`accountId` on the provider).
5. **Provider match** (any account on that provider).
6. **Default agent** (`routing.defaultAgentId`, fallback to `main`).
The matched agent determines which workspace and session store are used.
## Config overview
- `routing.defaultAgentId`: default agent when no binding matches.
- `routing.agents`: named agent definitions (workspace, model, etc.).
- `routing.bindings`: map inbound providers/accounts/peers to agents.
Example:
```json5
{
routing: {
defaultAgentId: "main",
agents: {
support: { name: "Support", workspace: "~/clawd-support" }
},
bindings: [
{ match: { provider: "slack", teamId: "T123" }, agentId: "support" },
{ match: { provider: "telegram", peer: { kind: "group", id: "-100123" } }, agentId: "support" }
]
}
}
```
## Session storage
Session stores live under the state directory (default `~/.clawdbot`):
- `~/.clawdbot/agents/<agentId>/sessions/sessions.json`
- JSONL transcripts live alongside the store
You can override the store path via `session.store` and `{agentId}` templating.
## WebChat behavior
WebChat attaches to the **selected agent** and defaults to the agents main
session. Because of this, WebChat lets you see crossprovider context for that
agent in one place.
## Reply context
Inbound replies include:
- `ReplyToId`, `ReplyToBody`, and `ReplyToSender` when available.
- Quoted context is appended to `Body` as a `[Replying to ...]` block.
This is consistent across providers.
