Channel Integration Guide
OpenClaw WhatsApp & Telegram Integration
Integrating channels is where many OpenClaw deployments fail. This guide covers the essentials from official docs and deployment practice.
WhatsApp essentials
OpenClaw’s WhatsApp channel is production-ready through WhatsApp Web. Pairing, allowlists, and group policy should be defined before rollout.
Telegram essentials
Telegram relies on Bot API token setup and policy configuration. Group visibility and mention behavior must align with your team workflow.
Operational reliability
Always test inbound/outbound delivery, reconnect behavior, and post-restart routing so channel experience stays consistent for end users.
Security posture
Apply least-privilege defaults and audit policies regularly to reduce risk as your automation footprint grows.
