Chat SDK adds Photon support
By Steven Van ·
Chat SDK's new vendor-official Photon adapter lets bots send iMessages, group chats and tapbacks via Spectrum Cloud, a server, or a Mac.
The Vercel Chat SDK now supports Photon through a new vendor-official adapter, letting bots send and receive iMessages directly and in group chats, share media, and react with native tapbacks. The adapter can run against Spectrum Cloud, a developer's own server, or directly on a Mac.
- Each Photon conversation becomes a Chat SDK thread, and tapbacks arrive as reactions.
- Handlers, posts, and subscriptions work the same as with any other adapter.
- Webhooks are HMAC-verified, and a bot can reply to a DM straight from a webhook delivery without a live connection.
