Struct LinqChannel 

pub struct LinqChannel { /* private fields */ }

Linq channel — uses the Linq Partner V3 API for iMessage, RCS, and SMS.

This channel operates in webhook mode (push-based) rather than polling. Messages are received via the gateway’s /linq webhook endpoint. The listen method here is a keepalive placeholder; actual message handling happens in the gateway when Linq sends webhook events.

Implementations

impl LinqChannel

pub fn new( api_token: String, from_phone: String, allowed_senders: Vec<String>, ) -> Self

pub fn phone_number(&self) -> &str

Get the bot’s phone number

pub fn parse_webhook_payload(&self, payload: &Value) -> Vec<ChannelMessage>

Parse an incoming webhook payload from Linq and extract messages.

Supports two webhook formats:

New format (webhook_version 2026-02-03):

{
  "api_version": "v3",
  "webhook_version": "2026-02-03",
  "event_type": "message.received",
  "data": {
    "id": "msg-...",
    "direction": "inbound",
    "sender_handle": { "handle": "+1...", "is_me": false },
    "chat": { "id": "chat-..." },
    "parts": [{ "type": "text", "value": "..." }]
  }
}

Legacy format (webhook_version 2025-01-01):

{
  "api_version": "v3",
  "event_type": "message.received",
  "data": {
    "chat_id": "...",
    "from": "+1...",
    "is_from_me": false,
    "message": {
      "id": "...",
      "parts": [{ "type": "text", "value": "..." }]
    }
  }
}

Also accepts the current 2026-02-03 payload shape where chat_id, from, is_from_me, and message.parts moved under: data.chat.id, data.sender_handle.handle, data.sender_handle.is_me, and data.parts.

Trait Implementations

impl Channel for LinqChannel

fn name(&self) -> &str

Human-readable channel name

fn send<'life0, 'life1, 'async_trait>( &'life0 self, message: &'life1 SendMessage, ) -> Pin<Box<dyn Future<Output = Result<()>> + Send + 'async_trait>>

where Self: 'async_trait, 'life0: 'async_trait, 'life1: 'async_trait,

Send a message through this channel

fn listen<'life0, 'async_trait>( &'life0 self, _tx: Sender<ChannelMessage>, ) -> Pin<Box<dyn Future<Output = Result<()>> + Send + 'async_trait>>

where Self: 'async_trait, 'life0: 'async_trait,

Start listening for incoming messages (long-running)

fn health_check<'life0, 'async_trait>( &'life0 self, ) -> Pin<Box<dyn Future<Output = bool> + Send + 'async_trait>>

where Self: 'async_trait, 'life0: 'async_trait,

Check if channel is healthy

fn start_typing<'life0, 'life1, 'async_trait>( &'life0 self, recipient: &'life1 str, ) -> Pin<Box<dyn Future<Output = Result<()>> + Send + 'async_trait>>

where Self: 'async_trait, 'life0: 'async_trait, 'life1: 'async_trait,

Signal that the bot is processing a response (e.g. “typing” indicator). Implementations should repeat the indicator as needed for their platform.

fn stop_typing<'life0, 'life1, 'async_trait>( &'life0 self, recipient: &'life1 str, ) -> Pin<Box<dyn Future<Output = Result<()>> + Send + 'async_trait>>

where Self: 'async_trait, 'life0: 'async_trait, 'life1: 'async_trait,

Stop any active typing indicator.

fn supports_draft_updates(&self) -> bool

Whether this channel supports progressive message updates via draft edits.

fn supports_multi_message_streaming(&self) -> bool

Whether this channel supports multi-message streaming delivery, where the response is sent as multiple separate messages at paragraph boundaries as tokens arrive from the provider.

fn multi_message_delay_ms(&self) -> u64

Minimum delay (ms) between sending each paragraph in multi-message mode. Channels should override this to avoid platform rate limits.

fn send_draft<'life0, 'life1, 'async_trait>( &'life0 self, _message: &'life1 SendMessage, ) -> Pin<Box<dyn Future<Output = Result<Option<String>>> + Send + 'async_trait>>

where Self: 'async_trait, 'life0: 'async_trait, 'life1: 'async_trait,

Send an initial draft message. Returns a platform-specific message ID for later edits.

fn update_draft<'life0, 'life1, 'life2, 'life3, 'async_trait>( &'life0 self, _recipient: &'life1 str, _message_id: &'life2 str, _text: &'life3 str, ) -> Pin<Box<dyn Future<Output = Result<()>> + Send + 'async_trait>>

where Self: 'async_trait, 'life0: 'async_trait, 'life1: 'async_trait, 'life2: 'async_trait, 'life3: 'async_trait,

Update a previously sent draft message with new accumulated content.

where Self: 'async_trait, 'life0: 'async_trait, 'life1: 'async_trait, 'life2: 'async_trait, 'life3: 'async_trait,

Show a progress/status update (e.g. tool execution status). Channels can display this in a status bar rather than in the message body. Default: no-op (progress is ignored).

fn finalize_draft<'life0, 'life1, 'life2, 'life3, 'async_trait>( &'life0 self, _recipient: &'life1 str, _message_id: &'life2 str, _text: &'life3 str, ) -> Pin<Box<dyn Future<Output = Result<()>> + Send + 'async_trait>>

where Self: 'async_trait, 'life0: 'async_trait, 'life1: 'async_trait, 'life2: 'async_trait, 'life3: 'async_trait,

where Self: 'async_trait, 'life0: 'async_trait, 'life1: 'async_trait, 'life2: 'async_trait,

Cancel and remove a previously sent draft message if the channel supports it.
