OUR TAKE
Receive and answer business messages inside Claude Code
Linq’s official channel plugin brings iMessage events into Claude Code and supplies messaging actions. It is a documented path for that client, with pairing and polling behavior that deserve their own evaluation.
A channel has a particular host
The repository specifies Claude Code version 2.1.80 or later and a plugin-oriented setup. This entry belongs in a messaging bridge shortlist because it delivers incoming context and actions to that host.
A team using another assistant should evaluate Linq’s API or a separately documented connector. A similar tool protocol does not make this channel universally interchangeable.
Pairing is an operational decision
The guide describes a pairing policy for unknown senders and an allowlist. That helps distinguish a recognized participant from a new message arriving at the line, but the team must still decide who can authorize access.
The published polling interval defaults to three seconds, with configuration and a webhook listener path also documented. Those are implementation settings, not our measured response latency.
Protect the surrounding workspace
Messages and downloaded photos enter the client’s working context. Review how that client handles files, model requests and approval for tools before giving it customer content.
Use the plugin for a client-centered workflow only if the host, credentials and ongoing process ownership suit the team. Request the production API terms separately from general Linq app pricing.
The decision in one sentence
Choose Linq Claude Code channel when receive and answer business messages inside claude code matches the task and its documented limits fit your client.
