WhatsApp CLI — OpenClaw WhatsApp Bridge
Purpose
Full WhatsApp bridge: send messages, auto-reply with AI, search history, sync contacts. Connects your OpenClaw agent to WhatsApp.
16,400+ downloads — #2 most downloaded on ClawHub.
Safety
Safe mode tip: Most users only enable send-to-self (notes, reminders, summaries). Enable outbound messaging only when confident in the automation.
The send command always confirms before sending.
