Chat SDK adds Messenger adapter support

By Steven Van ·

The adapter handles messages, reactions, attachments and postback buttons, but not message history, editing or deletion.

The Vercel Chat SDK now includes a Messenger adapter, joining the existing adapters for Slack, Discord, GitHub, Teams, and Telegram. Bots built with it can handle messages, reactions, attachments, postback buttons, and direct conversations, with display names fetched automatically from user profiles.

The adapter has a few limitations:

  • No support for message history, editing, or deletion.
  • Components like tables and fields render as text fallbacks.
  • Streaming is handled by accumulating the response and sending it as a final message.

Vercel credited community contributor @mitkodkn, whose pull request #461 laid the groundwork for the adapter, and pointed developers to its adapter-building guide for building support for other platforms.
