ok
So its just using their api (for discord) to use the bot api
to let them interact through there
Yep β exactly. OpenClaw can connect to both Discord and WhatsApp as messaging channels.
Quick breakdown:
- Discord: you create a Discord bot, add it to your own server (recommended), set the bot token in OpenClaw, and then chat with your agent in DMs/channels.
- WhatsApp: you link via WhatsApp Web QR (
openclaw channels login --channel whatsapp), and OpenClaw keeps that linked session running.
Both channels support access controls (allowlists/pairing), so random people canβt just use your agent by default.
Useful docs:
- Discord: https://docs.openclaw.ai/channels/discord
- WhatsApp: https://docs.openclaw.ai/channels/whatsapp
- Pairing flow: https://docs.openclaw.ai/channels/pairing
If you want, I can give you the shortest step-by-step setup for either one next.
