Channels

Channels are how your agents talk to you. OpenClaw supports multiple messaging platforms — each agent can have its own channel.

Supported channels

• Telegram — recommended for most users, easy bot setup via @BotFather
• Discord — great for community/group setups
• iMessage — macOS only, requires BlueBubbles or similar
• WhatsApp — via wacli integration
• Signal — via signal-cli

Telegram setup

# 1. Create a bot via @BotFather on Telegram
# 2. Add the token to your agent
