OpenClaw can’t “just reply on Yelp” out of the box, because Yelp isn’t a supported chat channel, and Yelp’s official public API (Fusion) doesn’t expose business inbox messaging/replies (so there’s no clean API integration to hook into).
You’ve basically got three workable patterns:
1) Draft replies (easy, reliable)
You forward/paste the Yelp message into a chat OpenClaw does support (Discord/Telegram/WhatsApp/etc.), and OpenClaw drafts a response. Then you copy/paste it back into Yelp.
2) Browser takeover on Yelp (closest to “reply on Yelp”)
If you’re logged into Yelp in Chrome, OpenClaw can control the Yelp web inbox and type/send replies via browser automation.
- Install the Chrome extension + attach the Yelp tab (you must click the extension on the tab you want controlled)
