# Zalo Personal Plugin Documentation

## Overview
The Zalo Personal plugin enables OpenClaw to automate personal Zalo user accounts through the `zca-cli` tool. This integration operates within the Gateway process and uses the channel identifier `zalouser` to distinguish it from potential official Zalo API integrations.

## Key Warnings
Users should be aware that unofficial automation may lead to account suspension/ban. This represents a significant risk factor when implementing this plugin.

## Installation Requirements
The plugin can be installed via npm or from a local development folder. Regardless of installation method, the Gateway must be restarted afterward. Additionally, the `zca-cli` tool must be available on the system PATH where the Gateway runs.

## Configuration
Settings are defined under `channels.zalouser` in the configuration file, with options for enabling the channel and setting the DM policy to "pairing."

## Functionality
The plugin supports several CLI operations including login/logout, status checks, and message sending. Through the agent tool interface, users can perform actions like sending messages, sharing images and links, and accessing friend/group information.
