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.
