Channel · WhatsApp

WhatsApp as an AI channel — safely.

WhatsApp is where your team already lives. We turn it into your most productive AI channel — without firing on every group mention.

The problem

Why this matters right now.

OpenClaw + WhatsApp is fascinating and dangerous at the same time: without a clean allowlist and requireMention, your agent reacts to unwanted messages, sends data to LLMs without context, or pipes up in private group chats it has no business being in.

Our approach

Here's how we do it.

We pair WhatsApp cleanly, set requireMention globally, define allowlists per group, document data flow, lock down privacy defaults and ship an off-switch for the channel.

What's included

The full package.

PR

Pairing

WhatsApp Web pairing or Business API, cleanly documented, with a re-pair process for token loss.

AL

Allowlist

Whitelist of numbers/groups where OpenClaw answers at all. Everything else is ignored.

RM

requireMention

Default: only respond on @molty mention or a defined keyword. No spontaneous replies.

GR

Group logic

Clean separation between DM, small group, broadcast — each context has its own rules.

PV

Privacy

Last seen, read receipts, profile photo visibility and status — set deliberately.

AU

Audit trail

Every OpenClaw reply logged with skill, model, tokens and response time.

How it works

From first call to a productive OpenClaw workflow.

  1. 01

    Analyse

    30-min check + process map. We pinpoint the 3 workflows where OpenClaw saves time fastest, and which channels are mandatory.

  2. 02

    Setup

    Daemon, channels, skills, MCP, allowlists, requireMention, Tailscale and the live dashboard configured cleanly and live.

  3. 03

    Training

    Your team works on real tasks: WhatsApp inbox triage, weekly Slack-DM reports, voice-memo-to-CRM, skill maintenance.

  4. 04

    Operations

    calver updates, skill extensions, channel care, security reviews, backups and an emergency off-switch — so OpenClaw doesn't fade out.

Packages

Three entry points. One outcome: OpenClaw that works.

Frequent questions

Still open questions?

Write us at hello@openclaw-os.com or book a call directly. We'll take the time.

Does this break WhatsApp's terms?
WhatsApp Web pairing is a grey area for high-frequency bots, but tolerable in practice for internal team usage. For mass outreach we use the official Business API.
Can OpenClaw understand voice messages?
Yes, with voice setup. We transcribe via STT (Whisper, OpenAI), route the text through skills and reply optionally via TTS.
What if the pairing token expires?
We build a re-pair workflow: scan a QR once, the new token goes into the keychain, the daemon restarts automatically.
What does a complete OpenClaw setup cost?
Starter starts at €1,850, Business at €5,900 and Enterprise from €14,900. Ongoing maintenance starts at €180/month. LLM costs (OpenAI, Anthropic, local models) run separately.
Is OpenClaw only useful for engineers?
No. That's the whole point of openclaw-os.com: OpenClaw becomes a work assistant for inbox, offers, reports, meetings, research, knowledge and routines — over the channels your team already uses (WhatsApp, Slack, Telegram, iMessage, voice).
Which channels make sense?
We usually start with the channel your team already lives in: WhatsApp and Telegram for external comms, Slack/Teams internally, iMessage on macOS, Discord for communities. The multi-channel strategy follows reality, not technology.
