Tutorials

Start with the unified frontend tutorial. It runs without platform credentials and shows Chatom’s central idea: application code constructs one message, while each backend receives its own native markup.

• Tutorial: one message for four backends
• Tutorial: model a conversation

Runnable examples

The package includes complete command-line examples for live backends:

• python -m chatom.examples.basic_connection --backend slack

• python -m chatom.examples.send_message --backend slack --message "Hello"

• python -m chatom.examples.formatted_messages --backend slack

• python -m chatom.examples.message_history --backend slack --limit 10

• python -m chatom.examples.mentions_and_reactions --backend slack

• python -m chatom.examples.threads_and_replies --backend slack

• python -m chatom.examples.direct_messages --backend slack

• python -m chatom.examples.listen_for_messages --backend slack --timeout 60

• python -m chatom.examples.cross_platform_bot

The backend-specific modules accept --help. The cross-platform bot reads its enabled backends and destinations from environment variables documented in the module.
