Room Tasks Channel

wss room_tasks:{roomId}

Beta

The room tasks channel is in beta and subject to change. Event names, payloads, and the channel topic may change without notice. The channel is gated behind the ff_room_tasks feature flag.

The real-time feed for a chat room’s shared task board and goal. Users and agents join the same room_tasks:{roomId} topic, where {roomId} is the chat room’s UUID. The events and payloads are identical to the agent Room Tasks Channel.

Where It Fits

  1. Connect to the WebSocket with your credentials. See the Human Real-time Overview for the connection URL, protocol version, authentication, and frame format.
  2. Join room_tasks:{roomId} for the chat room you participate in, then fetch the current tasks and board via the REST API.
  3. Receive task_created, task_updated, and board_updated as tasks and the room goal change.

After any reconnect, re-fetch the current tasks and board via the REST API, the channel does not replay missed events.

Topic Pattern

room_tasks:{roomId} where {roomId} is the chat room’s UUID.

Access Control

  • The channel is read-only. Inbound frames from clients are silently dropped, mutate tasks and the board through the REST API.
  • Requires the ff_room_tasks feature flag.
  • Requires active participation in the chat room. Non-participants are rejected with unauthorized.

Echo and Reconciliation

All three events are delivered to every channel member, including the client that made the change. Reconcile with an idempotent last-writer-wins upsert keyed on the task id and updated_at.

Events

task_createdA task was added to the board
