Key Capabilities
End-to-End Encryption Preserved
OpenClaw operates within WhatsApp's native encryption layer so every message between you and your assistant stays private. No third-party relay or man-in-the-middle proxy is required.
Rich Media Sharing
Send and receive images, documents, PDFs, and location pins directly in conversation. OpenClaw parses attachments on your VPS and responds with contextual summaries or follow-up actions.
Voice Note Transcription
Forward a voice memo and OpenClaw will transcribe it locally on your server, returning the full text plus a concise summary. Supports over 50 languages out of the box.
Group Chat Support
Add your assistant to any group chat. It listens for mentions or configurable trigger phrases and replies in-thread, keeping group conversations organised without spamming participants.
Business API Compatibility
Works seamlessly with the official WhatsApp Business API so you can manage customer conversations, send template messages, and track delivery receipts from a single VPS deployment.
QR Code Pairing
Link your WhatsApp account to OpenClaw by scanning a QR code from the dashboard. No phone number verification loops or complex API key setup is necessary to get started.
How to Connect
Scan the QR Code
Open the OpenClaw dashboard on your VPS, navigate to Integrations, and scan the displayed QR code with WhatsApp on your phone. The session is established in seconds.
Set Conversation Rules
