Linq

ChannelProvider official

iMessage and SMS conversations, media, and tapbacks through Linq.

Install

Install eve, Chat SDK, the Linq adapter, and a state adapter:

The in-memory state store is for local development. Use Redis or PostgreSQL in production. This adapter is built and maintained by Linq.

Quick start

Create agent/channels/linq.ts:

// agent/channels/linq.tsimport { createLinqAdapter } from "@linqapp/chat-sdk-adapter";import { createMemoryState } from "@chat-adapter/state-memory";import { chatSdkChannel } from "eve/channels/chat-sdk";
export const { bot, channel, send } = chatSdkChannel({  userName: "My Agent",  adapters: {    linq: createLinqAdapter({      apiKey: process.env.LINQ_API_KEY!,      signingSecret: process.env.LINQ_WEBHOOK_SECRET!,    }),  },  state: createMemoryState(),});
bot.onNewMention(async (thread, message) => {  await thread.subscribe();  await send(message.text, { thread });});
bot.onSubscribedMessage(async (thread, message) => {  await send(message.text, { thread });});
export default channel;

// agent/channels/linq.tsimport { createLinqAdapter } from "@linqapp/chat-sdk-adapter";import { createMemoryState } from "@chat-adapter/state-memory";import { chatSdkChannel } from "eve/channels/chat-sdk";
export const { bot, channel, send } = chatSdkChannel({  userName: "My Agent",  adapters: {    linq: createLinqAdapter({      apiKey: process.env.LINQ_API_KEY!,      signingSecret: process.env.LINQ_WEBHOOK_SECRET!,    }),  },  state: createMemoryState(),});
bot.onNewMention(async (thread, message) => {  await thread.subscribe();  await send(message.text, { thread });});
bot.onSubscribedMessage(async (thread, message) => {  await send(message.text, { thread });});
export default channel;

See the Linq adapter documentation for supported events, capabilities, and credentials.

Configure

Create a Linq account, set LINQ_API_KEY and LINQ_WEBHOOK_SECRET, then point its signed webhook at /eve/v1/linq. Linq supports iMessage and SMS DMs and group chats, media, buffered streaming, and tapbacks. See the Chat SDK channel docs for eve session dispatch, state, streaming, and human-in-the-loop behavior.
