Hello! Lightning is a chatbot which bridges channels between messaging apps. If you've winded up here, you're probably wondering how to setup a bridge. If not, you can find a list of commands or list of bridge settings

Step 1: Invite the bot ​

To use the bot, you have to invite it to your server. If you're using a version of the bot hosted by someone, use the invite links provided by them. If you don't have someone hosting the bot for you, you might want to take a look at bolt. You have to invite the bot to all of the messaging apps where you want to bridge messages.

Step 2: Create a bridge ​

CAUTION

Keep your bridge ID a secret! Anyone who has this ID can join your bridge

In the channel you're trying to bridge, you have to make a bridge. First, you would choose a name, and then you would run the !bridge create [name] command. After that, take note of the ID so that you can use it later.

Step 3: Join the bridge ​

In every channel you wish to bridge, run the !bridge join [id] command, using the ID from when the bridge was created.

Step 4: Verifying everything works ​

Once you ran the join command in every channel you wish to be bridged, run the !bridge status command to ensure everything is all set.
