Telegram bots are often just transport tools. They receive text but do not understand context. They do not know which repository, agent, or memory bucket to use.
This creates a problem. You either repeat the project name in every message, or the system guesses which project you mean. Guessing leads to errors.
Project pinning solves this.
APC acts as the portable context layer. APX is the runtime that uses that context. When you pin a Telegram channel to a project, APX knows exactly what to do.
How it works:
- The channel is the entry point.
- The project is the context boundary.
- Pinning the channel tells APX to scope all messages to that specific project.
This setup allows one APX instance to manage many workflows. Each channel can have its own bot token, chat ID, and project pin.
Consider this example:
- A support channel pinned to a customer portal project.
- A build channel pinned to a core project.
Both channels can run in one APX daemon. Both can receive messages from you. But their context remains separate. A bug report in the support channel uses customer support agents and memory. A technical question in the build channel uses core developers and tools. There is no cross-talk.
You can also use route_to_agent. Use this when a channel needs one specific persona instead of a general assistant. This works well for narrow workflows with a single job.
Stop treating Telegram as a generic inbox. Use project pins to turn it into a real project surface. This ensures your messages enter the right context with the right tools and memory attached.
Start simple. Use one channel and one project pin. Add specific agent routing only when you need a dedicated persona.
Context should not depend on guesswork. Project pins bridge the gap between your phone chat and your project boundary.
