Input sources and receivers
Wagtail Live can receive messages from various input sources. Slack and Telegram are supported. An API and web application are in development.
Each input source has a receiver class. This class handles the incoming message, converts it to Streamfield blocks and stores it on the live blog page.
Not all input sources support all actions:
| Action | Slack | Telegram |
|---|---|---|
| Post message | ✅ | ✅ |
| Update message | ✅ | ✅ |
| Delete message | ✅ | ❌ 1 |
| Post image | ✅ | ✅ |
| Update image | ✅ | ✅ |
| Delete image | ✅ | ❌ 2 |
| Embed | ✅ | ✅ |
| Emoji | ✅ | ✅ |
1,2 Telegram does not call the webhook on delete.
Note
In the Wagtail admin interface, you can edit messages. A message update is published to your live page automatically. A message update does not update the input source. Slack or Telegram still display the old message.
