OpenClaw WhatsApp Control

Control who can reach your WhatsApp agent and how it replies.

This editor writes directly to your OpenClaw WhatsApp config plus the target agent’s SOUL.md, AGENTS.md, USER.md, and MEMORY.md.

WhatsApp access and reply instructions

OpenClaw home

Config file

Workspace

WhatsApp account

Assistant mode

Switch between the normal agent behavior and deterministic WhatsApp auto-reply mode. Saving after a switch swaps the live markdown files to the selected mode’s saved instruction set.

Routing and access

Choose which agent owns generic WhatsApp DMs, then restrict who can trigger it.

Persona

These instructions map to SOUL.md and should describe tone, boundaries, and social style.

Reply rules

Use AGENTS.md for the handling logic: escalation rules, things it must never commit to, when to stay brief, and how to ask follow-ups.

User context

Optional grounding in USER.md: stable facts about you and your preferences.

People memory

Use MEMORY.md for curated contact and group context: who people are, preferred language or tone, usual topics, and escalation notes.
