Network tab

The simplest way to make your project integrate with Avalanche is to place a link inside the app, which will appear under the Network tab. All users signed into your server will see the same list of links. The links carry authentication information to let the project know who is viewing the page.

The list of projects that appear here is (currently) governed by the /etc/avalanche/projects.env file, which contains links to every project that needs to appear in the app.

This structure is quite flexible. Here are some examples of what you can do with it:

Browseable list of channels/groups you might want to join, with links that add you to those groups¹
Browseable list of attendees (e.g. for a conference), who you might want to contact, with contact links for those individuals
Individual project-specific profile page (e.g. let you set various settings having to do with conference, actions, your team, your location, etc)
Schedules or calendars, public and/or user-specific

On these pages (or any pages) you can place links to conversations. If you want a link that opens a DM with a specific person or bot, you can construct a link that includes a DID:

https://go.theavalanche.net/conversation/<did>

Limitations

There are a few limitations as of July 5 2026:

Links can open DMs only.¹
If the user has multiple accounts on their device, it doesn’t work very well: conversations will always be opened against the first server the user is logged into.

As of this writing you can’t construct a link that opens a specific group. This is an obvious gap and will be remedied soon! The current best way to add a person to a specific group is to have a bot in that channel invite the person. ↩︎ ↩︎
