Build bots that send and receive iMessage, SMS, and RCS through Sendblue's hosted gateway, reaching people on the messaging apps they already use. Messages use iMessage-first delivery with support for automatic SMS and RCS fallback, tapbacks, typing indicators, and delivery status callbacks.
lib/bot.ts
import { Chat } from "chat";
import { createSendblueAdapter } from "chat-adapter-sendblue";
import { createMemoryState } from "@chat-adapter/state-memory";
const chat = new Chat({
userName: "imessage-bot",
adapters: {
sendblue: createSendblueAdapter(),
},
state: createMemoryState(),
});
chat.onDirectMessage(async (thread, message) => {
await thread.post(`Got it: ${message.text}`);
});
Configure the adapter to respond to @-mentions in mobile conversations
The adapter maps each Sendblue conversation to a Chat SDK thread, tied to a specific phone line and contact (or group), and each inbound iMessage, SMS, or RCS message to a Chat SDK message.
