lua channels lists the channels an agent answers on and, from its menu, links new ones or manages the organization’s phone numbers. Linking a channel changes where end users can reach the agent right away.
Verified against lua-cli 3.33.0.
Synopsis
Description
list is the only non-interactive action and the command’s only argument; the command takes no flags. Run bare, it offers four menu items: List channels (pick one for its type-specific details), Link new channel, Manage phone numbers, and Link on admin dashboard, which opens the admin dashboard for the agent.
The CLI creates five channel types: WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, email, Slack (private, by bot token) and Slack (public, an OAuth app). Every other channel, Instagram and Microsoft Teams among them, is set up outside the CLI; the channel guides say where. The web widget needs no channel record at all.
The menu and every creation flow prompt for each value, and tokens are masked as you type. They are not usable under --ci: only list is. A channel that is already linked is refused with ✖ http_400: Channel already exists (exit 10) and a hint naming the channel.
