# 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.
