WhatsApp Integration
Choose WhatsApp and select Yes.
A QR Code will be generated, go to your WhatsApp and select Linked Devices > Link a Device.
After scanning, choose if this phone is a separate or personal phone.
Enter your phone number into OpenClaw.
You can also add the numbers you want to receive messages from in the config file in
~/.openclaw/openclaw.json.Example:
"channels": {
"whatsapp": {
"enabled": true,
"capabilities": [],
"dmPolicy": "allowlist",
"selfChatMode": true,
"allowFrom": [
"+60123456789",
"+60134567890"
],
"groupPolicy": "allowlist",
"debounceMs": 0,
"mediaMaxMb": 50
},Once completed, the number can send a message to OpenClaw, and OpenClaw will respond within seconds.
In this case, the LLM request timed out; however, the containerization_explanation.txt file was successfully created.
Please note that the LLM request timeout is a limitation of WhatsApp.
