Inter-Bot Routing

Route messages between bots based on configurable conditions

BotMux can route messages between bots based on configurable rules.

Condition Types

Type	Description
Text match	Regex pattern matching on message text (case-insensitive)
User ID	Messages from a specific Telegram user
Chat ID	All messages from a specific chat/group
LLM	AI-based routing — describe the rule in natural language

Actions

Action	Description
Forward	Send message text as a new message via the target bot
Copy	Forward the original message preserving author attribution via forwardMessage
Drop	Silently ignore the message

Source-NAT Return Path

Replies to routed messages are automatically sent back through the original source bot to the original chat, maintaining conversational context. Each reply creates a new mapping, enabling ongoing cross-bot dialogs.

Loop Protection

Bot-originated messages are not reverse-routed, preventing infinite routing loops.

Management

Route rules are managed per-bot from the web UI with enable/disable toggle.
