السماح بالمرسلين باستخدام allowFrom

OpenClaw has full system access, so you decide who may message it. The allowlist is your front door, and only listed people get in. 🔐

The key for this is allowFrom. It lives inside a channel block and holds the senders you trust to talk to your assistant.

The full path is channels.platform.allowFrom. Swap platform for whatsapp, telegram, or any channel you have connected.

allowFrom takes a list of senders. For WhatsApp that means phone numbers, so each entry is one trusted contact.

Need more people? Just add more entries to the list. Every number you include can message and command your assistant.

Here is allowFrom inside a real whatsapp block. This is the shape you edit in openclaw.json to gate the channel.

Allowlisting is the simplest guardrail. Before any clever rules, deciding who is on the list keeps strangers from driving your machine.

Each channel keeps its own allowFrom. Your WhatsApp list and your Telegram list are separate, so you tune access per platform.

Match the sender format the platform expects. For WhatsApp use full international numbers, including the country code, so they match correctly.

After editing allowFrom, save the file and restart OpenClaw. The new list takes effect once the assistant reloads its config.

Keep the list tight. Add only people you truly trust, because everyone on it can ask your assistant to act on your system.

You set the guest list: allowFrom names the senders allowed per channel. Tight lists keep you safe. Next, group mention rules. ✅
