OpenClaw Integration with WhatsApp Cloud API
Direct WhatsApp Integration via Meta's Cloud API
A developer in the OpenClaw community has successfully connected OpenClaw to WhatsApp using Meta's official WhatsApp Cloud API. This integration enables direct communication between the AI coding assistant and WhatsApp's messaging platform.

WhatsApp Cloud API is Meta's official platform for businesses and developers to build WhatsApp messaging capabilities into their applications. It provides programmatic access to send and receive messages, manage contacts, and handle media.
