How to set up a channel

Channels basically connect your favorite messaging app right to the Claude Code terminal, making remote troubleshooting and notifications super easy.
To get started, you'll need to set up a Telegram bot and be on Claude Code version 2.1.80 or higher (plus a claude.ai login).
If you're not into linking external apps, there's even a local testing tool called Fakechat.
Just remember: keep your AI session active so you don't miss any important messages!
