# Channels

# `crocbot channels`

Manage chat channel accounts and their runtime status on the Gateway.

Related docs:

* Channel guides: [Channels](/channels/index)
* Gateway configuration: [Configuration](/gateway/configuration)

## Common commands

```bash theme={null}
crocbot channels list
crocbot channels status
crocbot channels capabilities
crocbot channels capabilities --channel telegram
crocbot channels logs --channel all
```

## Add / remove accounts

```bash theme={null}
crocbot channels add --channel telegram --token <bot-token>
crocbot channels remove --channel telegram --delete
```

Tip: `crocbot channels add --help` shows per-channel flags.

## Troubleshooting

* Run `crocbot status --deep` for a broad probe.
* Use `crocbot doctor` for guided fixes.
* `crocbot channels list` prints `Claude: HTTP 403 ... user:profile` -> usage snapshot needs the `user:profile` scope. Use `--no-usage`, or provide a claude.ai session key (`CLAUDE_WEB_SESSION_KEY` / `CLAUDE_WEB_COOKIE`), or re-auth via Claude Code CLI.

## Capabilities probe

Fetch provider capability hints plus static feature support:

```bash theme={null}
crocbot channels capabilities
crocbot channels capabilities --channel telegram
```

Notes:

* `--channel` is optional; omit it to list every channel (including extensions).
* Probes are provider-specific: Telegram bot flags + webhook. Channels without probes report `Probe: unavailable`.
