Chat Channels

Overview

OpenClaw integrates with numerous messaging platforms through its Gateway infrastructure. The documentation lists 20+ supported channels, with text support available universally while media and reaction capabilities vary by platform.

Supported Platforms

The primary channels include established services like:

  • WhatsApp - Using Baileys with QR pairing
  • Telegram - Via grammY bot API
  • Discord - With server and DM support
  • Slack - Through Bolt SDK
  • Signal - For privacy-conscious users
  • iMessage - BlueBubbles recommended for integration

Key Features

Channels can run simultaneously; configure multiple and OpenClaw will route per chat. This enables users to maintain presence across multiple messaging services with a single bot instance.

Platform Differences

  • WhatsApp setup requires QR pairing and maintains more local state
  • Telegram offers the quickest configuration path using only a bot token
  • BlueBubbles supports advanced iMessage features including message editing, unsending, and reaction handling (though edit functionality is currently broken on macOS 26 Tahoe)

Plugin-Based Extensions

Several channels require separate plugin installation rather than core integration:

  • Feishu
  • Mattermost
  • Microsoft Teams
  • Matrix
  • LINE
  • Zalo

Security

DM pairing and allowlists provide security controls. See the individual channel documentation for specific configuration options.
