Channels
Every way to reach Murage away from the main window: Telegram, Slack, Discord, WhatsApp, your phone's browser and the menu bar or system tray.
Pick a channel
- Telegram One private chat. The only chat app where you can approve requests with a tap.
- Slack One direct message with your own private Slack app. Approvals come as buttons in the message.
- Discord One direct message with your own Discord bot. Approvals come as buttons in the message.
- WhatsApp Message your Chief of Staff from WhatsApp. Link a number by QR or code, approve the contacts who may chat, and turn on only the groups you choose. A spare number is the best way to use it.
- Phone and web app Open your whole Murage workspace in the browser on your phone, a tablet or another laptop, over Tailscale or on the same Wi-Fi.
- Menu bar and system tray See what needs you, answer ordinary requests and message a bot without opening the window.
Telegram, Slack and Discord are chat apps you pair with your own bot or app and a one-time code, and they talk to your Chief only. WhatsApp links with a number instead.
Murage phone app: the app is on the App Store for iPhone and on Google Play for Android. The same workspace in an app, over your own Tailscale network.
Which one should I use?
| You want | Use |
|---|---|
| Quick replies and approvals from anywhere | Telegram |
| To chat from Slack or Discord, where you already live | Pair it for chatting, and answer approvals in Murage or Telegram |
| Every bot, conversation and the Inbox | The phone web app |
| To answer from your computer with the window closed | The menu bar or tray |
Rules every chat channel shares
- Your Chief only. Only your Chief of Staff answers. Other bots aren't reachable from Telegram, Slack, Discord or WhatsApp.
- One account (Telegram, Slack and Discord). Only the one account you pair can talk to it. Group chats, servers and channels are ignored.
- Tasks you start there. A reply goes back to the chat app only for a task you started there. Work you start in Murage stays in Murage, and routines report in the app, not in chat.
- Voice in, voice out. Send your Chief a voice message and it replies with a voice message. Voice needs Flux Router credits or your own voice keys. See Voice.
