Spaces and channels

Core concepts

An organization holds spaces. A space holds channels, optionally grouped into categories. A space has a type, and the type decides which product surface renders it: work and partner spaces are Kemble Work, community and circle spaces are Kemble Circle.

Channel types

• text — the ordinary conversation channel.
• announcement — readable by everyone in the space, postable only by people who can manage the channel.
• voice — a voice room, mesh below the plan threshold and an SFU above it.
• stage — a voice room where speaking is a separate permission from connecting, so an audience listens without publishing.

Managing them

• POST /api/spaces/:space/channels — create.
• PATCH /api/channels/:channel — rename, re-topic, archive, make private.
• PUT /api/channels/:channel/category — move between categories in the same space.
• POST /api/spaces/:space/categories/reorder — reorder, sending the complete ordering.
