# Remove DeltaChat
|
||||
|
||||
## 1. Disable the adapter
|
||||
|
||||
Comment out the import in `src/channels/index.ts`:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// import './deltachat.js';
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## 2. Remove credentials
|
||||
|
||||
Remove the `DC_*` lines from `.env`:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
DC_EMAIL
|
||||
DC_PASSWORD
|
||||
DC_IMAP_HOST
|
||||
DC_IMAP_PORT
|
||||
DC_SMTP_HOST
|
||||
DC_SMTP_PORT
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## 3. Rebuild and restart
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
pnpm run build
|
||||
|
||||
# Linux
|
||||
systemctl --user restart nanoclaw
|
||||
|
||||
# macOS
|
||||
launchctl kickstart -k gui/$(id -u)/com.nanoclaw
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## 4. Remove account data (optional)
|
||||
|
||||
To fully remove all account data including DeltaChat encryption keys:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
rm -rf dc-account/
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
> **Warning:** This deletes the Autocrypt keys. Contacts who have verified your bot's key will need to re-verify if the same email address is re-used with a new account.
|
||||
|
||||
To keep the account for later reinstall, leave `dc-account/` intact.
|
||||
|
||||
## 5. Remove the package (optional)
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
pnpm remove @deltachat/stdio-rpc-server
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Verification
|
||||
|
||||
After removal, confirm the adapter is no longer starting:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
grep "deltachat" logs/nanoclaw.log | tail -5
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Expected: no `Channel adapter started` entry after the last restart.

description: Add DeltaChat channel integration via @deltachat/stdio-rpc-server. Native adapter — no Chat SDK bridge. Email-based messaging with end-to-end encryption.
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
# Add DeltaChat Channel
|
||||
|
||||
The adapter drives the `@deltachat/stdio-rpc-server` JSON-RPC subprocess directly — pure Node.js against the DeltaChat core library. Messages are delivered over email with Autocrypt/OpenPGP encryption.
|
||||
|
||||
## Install
|
||||
|
||||
### Pre-flight (idempotent)
|
||||
|
||||
Skip to **Credentials** if all of these are already in place:
|
||||
|
||||
- `src/channels/deltachat.ts` exists
|
||||
- `src/channels/index.ts` contains `import './deltachat.js';`
|
||||
- `@deltachat/stdio-rpc-server` is listed in `package.json` dependencies
|
||||
|
||||
Otherwise continue. Every step below is safe to re-run.
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Fetch the channels branch
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
git fetch origin channels
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Copy the adapter
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
git show origin/channels:src/channels/deltachat.ts > src/channels/deltachat.ts
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Append the self-registration import
|
||||
|
||||
Append to `src/channels/index.ts` (skip if already present):
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import './deltachat.js';
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Install the adapter package (pinned)
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
pnpm install @deltachat/stdio-rpc-server@2.49.0
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 5. Build
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
pnpm run build
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Account Setup
|
||||
|
||||
A dedicated email account is strongly recommended — it will accumulate DeltaChat-formatted messages and store encryption keys. Not all providers work well with DeltaChat; check https://providers.delta.chat/ before picking one.
|
||||
|
||||
**Default security modes:** IMAP uses SSL/TLS (port 993), SMTP uses STARTTLS (port 587). Both are configurable via `.env` — see Credentials below.
|
||||
|
||||
To find the correct hostnames for a domain:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
node -e "require('dns').resolveMx('example.com', (e,r) => console.log(r))"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Most providers publish their IMAP/SMTP hostnames in their help docs under "manual setup" or "IMAP access."
|
||||
|
||||
## Credentials
|
||||
|
||||
Add to `.env`:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
DC_EMAIL=bot@example.com
|
||||
DC_PASSWORD=your-app-password
|
||||
DC_IMAP_HOST=imap.example.com
|
||||
DC_IMAP_PORT=993
|
||||
DC_IMAP_SECURITY=1 # 1=SSL/TLS (default), 2=STARTTLS, 3=plain
|
||||
DC_SMTP_HOST=smtp.example.com
|
||||
DC_SMTP_PORT=587
|
||||
DC_SMTP_SECURITY=2 # 2=STARTTLS (default), 1=SSL/TLS, 3=plain
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Security settings are applied on every startup, so changing them in `.env` and restarting takes effect without wiping the account.
|
||||
|
||||
Sync to container: `mkdir -p data/env && cp .env data/env/env`
|
||||
|
||||
### Optional settings
|
||||
|
||||
The following are read from the process environment (not `.env`). To override them, add `Environment=` lines to the systemd service unit or your launchd plist:
|
||||
|
||||
| Variable | Default | Description |
|
||||
|----------|---------|-------------|
|
||||
| `DC_ACCOUNT_DIR` | `dc-account` | Directory for DeltaChat account data (IMAP state, keys, blobs) |
|
||||
| `DC_DISPLAY_NAME` | `NanoClaw` | Bot display name shown in DeltaChat |
|
||||
| `DC_AVATAR_PATH` | _(none)_ | Absolute path to avatar image; set at startup only |
|
||||
|
||||
The `/set-avatar` command (send an image with that caption) is the easiest way to set the avatar at runtime without modifying the service file. Only users with `owner` or global `admin` role can use it.
|
||||
|
||||
### Restart
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Linux
|
||||
systemctl --user restart nanoclaw
|
||||
|
||||
# macOS
|
||||
launchctl kickstart -k gui/$(id -u)/com.nanoclaw
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
On first start the adapter configures the email account (IMAP/SMTP credentials, calls `configure()`). Subsequent starts skip straight to `startIo()`. Account data is stored in `dc-account/` in the project root (or your `DC_ACCOUNT_DIR`).
|
||||
|
||||
## Wiring
|
||||
|
||||
### DMs
|
||||
|
||||
**DeltaChat contacts cannot be added by email alone** — to start a chat, the user must open the bot's invite link in their DeltaChat app or scan its QR code. This triggers the SecureJoin handshake.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Step 1 — Get the invite link
|
||||
|
||||
After the service starts, the adapter logs the invite URL and writes a QR SVG:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
grep "invite link" logs/nanoclaw.log | tail -1
|
||||
# url field contains the https://i.delta.chat/... invite link
|
||||
# also written to dc-account/invite-qr.svg (or $DC_ACCOUNT_DIR/invite-qr.svg)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The invite URL is stable (tied to the bot's email and encryption keys) so it stays valid across restarts.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Step 2 — Add the bot in DeltaChat
|
||||
|
||||
Two options for the user to connect:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Link**: Copy the `https://i.delta.chat/...` URL and open it on the device running DeltaChat. The app recognises it and shows a "Start chat" prompt.
|
||||
- **QR code**: Open `dc-account/invite-qr.svg` in a browser or image viewer, display it on screen, and scan it from the DeltaChat app using the QR-scan button on the new-chat screen.
|
||||
|
||||
After accepting, DeltaChat exchanges keys and creates the chat automatically.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Step 3 — Wire the chat to an agent
|
||||
|
||||
Once the first message arrives the router auto-creates a `messaging_groups` row. Look up the chat ID:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
sqlite3 data/v2.db \
|
||||
"SELECT platform_id, name FROM messaging_groups WHERE channel_type='deltachat' AND is_group=0 ORDER BY created_at DESC LIMIT 5"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Then run `/init-first-agent` — it creates the agent group, grants the user owner access, and wires the messaging group in one step:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
pnpm exec tsx scripts/init-first-agent.ts \
|
||||
--channel deltachat \
|
||||
--user-id deltachat:user@example.com \
|
||||
--platform-id <platform_id from above> \
|
||||
--display-name "Your Name"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Groups
|
||||
|
||||
Add the bot email to a DeltaChat group. When any member sends a message, the router creates a `messaging_groups` row with `is_group = 1`. Run `/manage-channels` to wire it to an agent group.
|
||||
|
||||
## Next Steps
|
||||
|
||||
If you're in the middle of `/setup`, return to the setup flow now.
|
||||
|
||||
Otherwise, run `/init-first-agent` to create an agent and wire it to your DeltaChat DM (see Wiring above), or `/manage-channels` to wire this channel to an existing agent group.
|
||||
|
||||
## Channel Info
|
||||
|
||||
- **type**: `deltachat`
|
||||
- **terminology**: DeltaChat calls them "chats" (1:1 DMs) and "groups"
|
||||
- **supports-threads**: no — DeltaChat has no thread model
|
||||
- **platform-id-format**: numeric chat ID as a string (e.g. `"12"`) — the DeltaChat core's internal chat identifier
|
||||
- **user-id-format**: `deltachat:{email}` — the contact's email address
|
||||
- **how-to-find-id**: Send a message from DeltaChat to the bot email, then query `messaging_groups` as shown above
|
||||
- **typical-use**: Personal assistant over DeltaChat DMs; small groups where participants use DeltaChat
|
||||
- **default-isolation**: One agent per bot identity. Multiple chats with the same operator can share an agent group; groups with other people should typically use `isolated` session mode
|
||||
|
||||
### Features
|
||||
|
||||
- File attachments — inbound and outbound; inbound waits up to 30 seconds for large-message download to complete
|
||||
- Invite link logged on every startup — URL + QR SVG written to `dc-account/invite-qr.svg`; see Wiring for the bootstrap flow
|
||||
- `/set-avatar` — send an image with this caption to change the bot's DeltaChat avatar (admin/owner only)
|
||||
- Connectivity watchdog — restarts IO if IMAP goes quiet for 20 minutes or connectivity drops below threshold for two consecutive 5-minute checks
|
||||
- Network nudge — `maybeNetwork()` called every 10 minutes to recover from prolonged idle
|
||||
|
||||
Not supported: DeltaChat reactions, message editing/deletion, read receipts.
|
||||
|
||||
### Connectivity model
|
||||
|
||||
`isConnected()` returns `true` when the internal connectivity value is ≥ 3000:
|
||||
|
||||
| Range | Meaning |
|
||||
|-------|---------|
|
||||
| 1000–1999 | Not connected |
|
||||
| 2000–2999 | Connecting |
|
||||
| 3000–3999 | Working (IMAP fetching) |
|
||||
| ≥ 4000 | Fully connected (IMAP IDLE) |
|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
### Adapter not starting — credentials missing
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
grep "Channel credentials missing" logs/nanoclaw.log | grep deltachat
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
All six required vars (`DC_EMAIL`, `DC_PASSWORD`, `DC_IMAP_HOST`, `DC_IMAP_PORT`, `DC_SMTP_HOST`, `DC_SMTP_PORT`) must be present in `.env`.
|
||||
|
||||
### Account configure fails
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
grep "DeltaChat" logs/nanoclaw.log | tail -20
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Common causes:
|
||||
- Wrong IMAP/SMTP hostnames — double-check provider docs
|
||||
- App password not generated — Gmail and some others require this when 2FA is enabled
|
||||
- Port/security mismatch — defaults are port 993 + SSL/TLS for IMAP and port 587 + STARTTLS for SMTP; override with `DC_IMAP_PORT`/`DC_IMAP_SECURITY` or `DC_SMTP_PORT`/`DC_SMTP_SECURITY` in `.env`
|
||||
|
||||
### Provider uses SMTP port 465 (SSL/TLS) instead of 587
|
||||
|
||||
Set `DC_SMTP_SECURITY=1` and `DC_SMTP_PORT=465` in `.env`, then restart.
|
||||
|
||||
### Messages not arriving
|
||||
|
||||
1. Check the service is running and the adapter started: `grep "Channel adapter started.*deltachat" logs/nanoclaw.log`
|
||||
2. Check connectivity: `grep "DeltaChat: IO started" logs/nanoclaw.log`
|
||||
3. Check the sender has been granted access — run `/init-first-agent` to create their user record and wire the chat
|
||||
4. Verify the messaging group is wired: `sqlite3 data/v2.db "SELECT mg.platform_id, mga.agent_group_id FROM messaging_groups mg JOIN messaging_group_agents mga ON mg.id = mga.messaging_group_id WHERE mg.channel_type='deltachat'"`
|
||||
|
||||
### Stale lock file after crash
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
rm -f dc-account/accounts.lock
|
||||
systemctl --user restart nanoclaw
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Bot not responding after restart
|
||||
|
||||
The account is already configured — IO restarts automatically on service start. If the RPC subprocess is stuck, restart the service. Check for errors:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
grep "DeltaChat" logs/nanoclaw.error.log | tail -20
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Messages received but agent not responding
|
||||
|
||||
The messaging group exists but may not be wired to an agent group. Run:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
sqlite3 data/v2.db "SELECT id, platform_id, name FROM messaging_groups WHERE channel_type='deltachat'"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If the group has no entry in `messaging_group_agents`, wire it with `/manage-channels`.

# Verify DeltaChat
|
||||
|
||||
## 1. Check the adapter started
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
grep "Channel adapter started.*deltachat" logs/nanoclaw.log | tail -1
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Expected: `Channel adapter started { channel: 'deltachat', type: 'deltachat' }`
|
||||
|
||||
## 2. Check IMAP/SMTP connectivity
|
||||
|
||||
Replace with your provider's hostnames from `.env`:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
DC_IMAP=$(grep '^DC_IMAP_HOST=' .env | cut -d= -f2)
|
||||
DC_SMTP=$(grep '^DC_SMTP_HOST=' .env | cut -d= -f2)
|
||||
|
||||
bash -c "echo >/dev/tcp/$DC_IMAP/993" && echo "IMAP open" || echo "IMAP blocked"
|
||||
bash -c "echo >/dev/tcp/$DC_SMTP/587" && echo "SMTP open" || echo "SMTP blocked"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## 3. End-to-end message test
|
||||
|
||||
1. Open DeltaChat on your device
|
||||
2. Add the bot email address as a contact
|
||||
3. Send a message
|
||||
4. The bot should respond within a few seconds
|
||||
|
||||
If nothing arrives, check:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
grep "DeltaChat" logs/nanoclaw.log | tail -20
|
||||
grep "DeltaChat" logs/nanoclaw.error.log | tail -10
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## 4. Check messaging group was created
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
sqlite3 data/v2.db \
|
||||
"SELECT id, platform_id, name FROM messaging_groups WHERE channel_type='deltachat' ORDER BY created_at DESC LIMIT 5"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If a row appears, the inbound routing is working. If not, the adapter isn't receiving the message — check logs for `DeltaChat: error handling incoming message`.
|
||||
|
||||
## 5. Verify user access
|
||||
|
||||
If the message arrived but the agent didn't respond, the sender may not have access:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
sqlite3 data/v2.db "SELECT id, display_name FROM users WHERE id LIKE 'deltachat:%'"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Grant access as shown in the SKILL.md "Grant user access" section.
