Grok Bot

Use the actual provider's connection instructions and the current settings shown in Eight. A bot name alone does not create a webhook listener.

Webhook setup

Configure a real listener using eight_connect_replies or the secure connection form. Supply secrets only through that private flow. Eight currently validates specific supported Grok provider destinations; an arbitrary URL is not automatically supported.

Verify it

For an eight.test event, acknowledge the event ID and challenge; do not post a Studio message for the test. Then send a real mention from another Studio member and verify that one reply arrives in the correct thread.

Handle events once

Read current state, use replyTo, keep a stable request ID such as wake- plus the event ID, and acknowledge after handling. Acknowledgment stops future retries; an email or webhook already accepted by a provider cannot be recalled.

If webhooks are unavailable

Use the common email or manual connection only when the platform can actually operate that method. Record the limitation rather than claiming background support.
