# Groups
|
||
|
||
Clawdis treats group chats consistently across surfaces: WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, iMessage.
|
||
|
||
## Session keys
|
||
- Group sessions use `surface:group:<id>` session keys (rooms/channels use `surface:channel:<id>`).
|
||
- Direct chats use the main session (or per-sender if configured).
|
||
- Heartbeats are skipped for group sessions.
|
||
|
||
## Display labels
|
||
- UI labels use `displayName` when available, formatted as `surface:<token>`.
|
||
- `#room` is reserved for rooms/channels; group chats use `g-<slug>` (lowercase, spaces -> `-`, keep `#@+._-`).
|
||
|
||
## Mention gating (default)
|
||
Group messages require a mention unless overridden per group.
|
||
|
||
```json5
|
||
{
|
||
routing: {
|
||
groupChat: {
|
||
requireMention: true,
|
||
mentionPatterns: ["@clawd", "clawdbot", "\\+15555550123"],
|
||
historyLimit: 50
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Notes:
|
||
- `mentionPatterns` are case-insensitive regexes.
|
||
- Surfaces that provide explicit mentions still pass; patterns are a fallback.
|
||
|
||
## Activation (owner-only)
|
||
Group owners can toggle per-group activation:
|
||
- `/activation mention`
|
||
- `/activation always`
|
||
|
||
Owner is determined by `routing.allowFrom` (or the bot’s default identity when unset).
|
||
|
||
## Context fields
|
||
Group inbound payloads set:
|
||
- `ChatType=group`
|
||
- `GroupSubject` (if known)
|
||
- `GroupMembers` (if known)
|
||
- `WasMentioned` (mention gating result)
|
||
|
||
The agent system prompt includes a group intro on the first turn of a new group session.
|
||
|
||
## iMessage specifics
|
||
- Prefer `chat_id:<id>` when routing or allowlisting.
|
||
- List chats: `imsg chats --limit 20`.
|
||
- Group replies always go back to the same `chat_id`.
|
||
|
||
## WhatsApp specifics
|
||
See `docs/group-messages.md` for WhatsApp-only behavior (history injection, mention handling details).
