Per-Channel Pairing and Docs
Learn that each platform has its own setup under the /channels/ docs, including Teams, Google Chat, Matrix, Zalo, and Twitch.
Per-Channel Pairing and Docs is a free OpenClaw Academy lesson on CoddyKit — lesson 4 of 4. You can read the complete lesson below for free — then practise it hands-on in the browser with a built-in code editor and a 24/7 AI tutor. It is part of the OpenClaw Academy learning path, one of 4 lessons in the course, and your progress syncs across the web and the CoddyKit app.
Every Channel Pairs Once
Before a chat app can reach OpenClaw, you pair it once through the Gateway. After that, messages flow without re-pairing.
Setup Differs Per Platform
No two apps connect the same way. Each platform has its own pairing flow, so the exact steps depend on the channel you pick.
Find the /channels/ Docs
Per-platform instructions live under the /channels/ docs. Each channel has its own page with the precise steps to follow.
More Than the Popular Apps
Beyond the big names, OpenClaw also supports Teams, Google Chat, Matrix, Zalo, and Twitch, each with its own channel page.
Microsoft Teams for Orgs
The Microsoft Teams channel fits organizations on Microsoft's stack, letting OpenClaw join your existing Teams chats.
Google Chat and Matrix
Google Chat covers Workspace users, and Matrix suits open, federated messaging. Both bridge through the same Gateway.
Zalo and Twitch Too
OpenClaw even reaches Zalo for regional messaging and Twitch for streaming chat, each documented on its own channel page.
Read Before You Pair
Open the right channel page first and follow it step by step. Guessing the flow is the fastest way to a broken connection.
The Gateway Ties It Together
However different the steps look, every channel ends up registered with the same Gateway that routes your messages.
Add Only What You Use
You do not need every platform. Pair just the channels you actually chat in and leave the rest until you need them.
Docs Are Your Map
Treat the /channels/ docs as your map for new platforms. When a connection stalls, the channel page is the first place to check. 🗺️
