+ `bot.transcripts` provides per-user message persistence keyed by a stable cross-platform identifier. See the [Conversation history](/docs/conversation-history) guide for usage patterns.
8
+
9
+ ```typescript
10
+ import { Chat } from "chat";
11
+ ```
12
+
13
+ ## Configuration
14
+
15
+ `transcripts` and `identity` are configured on `ChatConfig`. Both must be set together — passing `transcripts` without `identity` throws at construction.
16
+
17
+ ### ChatConfig.transcripts
18
+
19
+ <TypeTable
20
+ type={{
21

36
+ />
37
+
38
+ ### ChatConfig.identity
39
+
40
+ ```typescript
41
+ identity: (context: IdentityContext) => string | null | Promise<string | null>;
42
+ ```
43
+
44
+ Called once per inbound message during dispatch. The result is attached to the `Message` instance as `message.userKey`. Return `null` to skip persistence for an event.

+ ## Methods
66
+
67
+ Access via `bot.transcripts`. Throws if `transcripts` was not configured on the `Chat` instance.
68
+
69
+ ### append
70
+
71
+ Persist a `Message` (typically the inbound user message) or an `AppendInput` (typically a bot reply you just posted).
72
+
73
+ ```typescript
74
+ append(
75
+ thread: Postable,
76
+ message: Message | AppendInput,
77
+ options?: AppendOptions,
78
+ ): Promise<TranscriptEntry | null>;
79
+ ```
80
+
81
+ When `message` is a `Message`, `userKey` is read from the instance. If it's `undefined` (the resolver returned `null`), the call is a no-op and returns `null`. When `message` is an `AppendInput`, `options.userKey` is required.
82
+
83
+ #### AppendInput

+
85
+ <TypeTable

115
+ />
116
+
117
+ ### list
118
+
119
+ Returns entries in chronological order (oldest first). When `limit` is set, returns the newest `N` entries — still chronologically.
120
+

151

152
+
153
+ ### count
154
+
155
+ ```typescript
156
+ count(query: CountQuery): Promise<number>;
157
+ ```
158
+
159
+ Returns the total number of entries stored under the user key. `CountQuery` has a single field, `userKey: string`.
160
+
161
+ ### delete
162
+
163
+ ```typescript
164
+ delete(target: { userKey: string }): Promise<{ deleted: number }>;
165
+ ```
166
+
167
+ Wipes every entry stored under the user key. Returns the count that was removed. Single-entry and time-range deletes are not supported — the underlying `appendToList` primitive can't support them safely under concurrent writes.
168
+

213

214
+ ## Storage
215
+
216
+ Backed by `StateAdapter.appendToList` / `getList` / `delete`. Every built-in state adapter (`memory`, `redis`, `ioredis`, `pg`) supports these primitives.
217
+
218
+ Entries are stored under `transcripts:user:{userKey}` as a capped list. `appendToList` is atomic, so concurrent inbound messages don't race.
219
+
220
+ The `retention` value is applied as the list TTL and refreshed on every append. With `retention: "30d"`, a user who hasn't talked to the bot in 30 days has their transcript expire automatically.

+ ### Buttons and callback URLs
418
+
419
+ When the host app passes a `Card` with `<Button callbackUrl={...}>`, the SDK rewrites each such button **before** your adapter sees the postable: the `callbackUrl` is stored in the state adapter under a short token, and the button's `value` field is replaced with `__cb:<16-hex-chars>` (21 characters total). Your adapter does not need to know this happens — just round-trip `button.value` through your platform's button payload.
420
+
421
+ What this means in practice:
422
+
423
+ 1. **Send side**: when rendering a `ButtonElement` to your platform's button payload, encode both `button.id` (the action ID) and `button.value` (which may be `undefined`, a user-supplied value, or a callback token). Pick a delimiter that cannot appear in either, and validate the encoded string fits the platform's limit.
424
+ 2. **Receive side**: when the user clicks a button, decode the platform payload back into `actionId` and `value`, and pass them to `chat.processAction({ actionId, value, ... })`. The SDK will detect the `__cb:` prefix, look up the stored callback URL, POST to it, and pass the original value (if any) to user `onAction` handlers.
425
+
426
+ Discord's adapter is a good reference — it joins the action ID and value with `\n` and validates against Discord's 100-character `custom_id` limit:
427
+
428
+ ```typescript title="src/cards.ts (discord)" lineNumbers

+ Bots that hold context across a user's conversations need somewhere to store it. The platform's own message history won't do — a user might talk to your bot in Slack today and Discord tomorrow, and you want the same memory to follow them.
13
+
14
+ `bot.transcripts` keeps a per-user transcript in your state adapter, keyed by a stable identifier you choose (an email, an internal user ID, anything that's the same person no matter where they are).
15
+
16
+ ## Setup
17
+
18
+ You opt in by setting two fields on `ChatConfig`:
19
+
20
+ ```typescript title="lib/bot.ts" lineNumbers
21
+ import { Chat } from "chat";
22
+ import { createSlackAdapter } from "@chat-adapter/slack";
23
+ import { createDiscordAdapter } from "@chat-adapter/discord";
24
+ import { createRedisState } from "@chat-adapter/state-redis";
25
+
26
+ const bot = new Chat({
27
+ userName: "mybot",
28
+ adapters: {
29
+ slack: createSlackAdapter(),
30
+ discord: createDiscordAdapter(),
31
+ },
32
+ state: createRedisState({ url: process.env.REDIS_URL! }),
33
+
34
+ // Resolve the cross-platform identifier for an inbound message.
35
+ // Return null for messages you don't want to remember.
36
+ identity: ({ author }) => author.email ?? null,
37
+
38
+ // Storage tuning. retention is the list TTL, refreshed on every append.
39
+ transcripts: {
40
+ retention: "30d",
41
+ maxPerUser: 200,
42
+ },
43
+ });
44
+ ```
45
+
46
+ `transcripts` and `identity` are paired — set one without the other and the constructor throws. This keeps the API loud rather than silently no-op'ing on every call.
47
+
48
+ ## Building LLM context
49
+
50
+ The most common pattern: append the user's message, build a prompt from recent transcript entries, post the reply, append the reply too.
51
+
52
+ ```typescript title="lib/bot.ts" lineNumbers
53
+ bot.onSubscribedMessage(async (thread, msg) => {
54
+ await bot.transcripts.append(thread, msg);
55
+
56
+ const recent = await bot.transcripts.list({
57
+ userKey: msg.userKey!,
58
+ limit: 20,
59
+ });
60
+
61
+ const reply = await generateReply(recent, msg);
62
+ await thread.post(reply);
63
+
64
+ await bot.transcripts.append(
65
+ thread,
66
+ { role: "assistant", text: reply },
67
+ { userKey: msg.userKey! }
68
+ );
69
+ });
70
+ ```
71
+
72
+ A few things worth knowing:
73
+
74
+ - **`msg.userKey`** is set automatically from your `identity` resolver before your handler runs. If the resolver returned `null`, it stays `undefined` and the `append` call no-ops.
75
+ - **Bot replies are explicit.** The SDK doesn't auto-capture `thread.post()` output — you decide what gets remembered. That's important for retries, intermediate streaming chunks, and anything you don't want feeding back into the model later.
76
+ - **Order is chronological.** `list` returns oldest-first, ready to feed into a model. Set `limit` to keep prompts bounded.
77
+
78
+ ## Identity resolution
79
+
80
+ `identity` runs once per inbound message during dispatch. The `author`, `message`, and `adapter` name are all available:
81
+
82
+ ```typescript
83
+ identity: async ({ adapter, author, message }) => {
84
+ // Look up by email when the platform exposes it
85
+ if (author.email) {
86
+ return author.email;
87
+ }
88
+ // Or map a platform user to an internal ID
89
+ return await lookupUser(adapter, author.userId);
90
+ }
91
+ ```
92
+
93
+ Return `null` when you can't resolve a key. The SDK won't fall back to a platform-specific ID — that would silently fragment a user's transcript across platforms, which is exactly what this feature is here to prevent.
94
+
95
+ If your resolver throws, the SDK logs a warning and dispatches the message without a `userKey`. Handlers still run; only the persistence is skipped.
96
+
97
+ ## Filtering entries
98
+
99
+ `list` accepts a few filters. They compose, and they're applied after `getList` — useful for narrowing prompts without restructuring storage.
100
+
101
+ ```typescript
102
+ // Recent N across all platforms
103
+ await bot.transcripts.list({ userKey: "mike@acme.com", limit: 50 });
104
+
105
+ // Single platform
106
+ await bot.transcripts.list({ userKey: "mike@acme.com", platforms: ["slack"] });
107
+
108
+ // Single thread
109
+ await bot.transcripts.list({
110
+ userKey: "mike@acme.com",
111
+ threadId: "slack:C123:1234.5678",
112
+ });
113
+
114
+ // Only the user's own messages
115
+ await bot.transcripts.list({ userKey: "mike@acme.com", roles: ["user"] });
116
+ ```
117
+
118
+ ## Deleting a user's transcript
119
+
120
+ For data-subject requests or simple "forget me" flows:
121
+
122
+ ```typescript
123
+ await bot.transcripts.delete({ userKey: "mike@acme.com" });
124
+ // → { deleted: 47 }
125
+ ```
126
+
127
+ This wipes every entry stored under the key. Single-entry and time-range deletes aren't part of the API — `appendToList` doesn't support them safely under concurrent writes.
128
+
129
+ ## Where it's stored
130
+
131
+ `bot.transcripts` is backed by `StateAdapter.appendToList` / `getList` / `delete`. Every built-in state adapter (`memory`, `redis`, `ioredis`, `pg`) supports these primitives, so this works on whichever one you've already configured.
132
+
133
+ Entries are written under the key `transcripts:user:{userKey}` as a capped list. `appendToList` is atomic, so concurrent inbound messages on the same user don't race.
134
+
135
+ ## Reference
