Work and Private Chats Too
Beyond casual apps, OpenClaw also bridges Slack, Signal, and iMessage, so it can meet you at work and in private messaging.
Slack for the Workplace
The Slack channel brings OpenClaw into your team workspace, so you can reach the assistant right where you already collaborate.
Signal for Privacy
Prefer private messaging? The Signal channel lets you talk to OpenClaw from a privacy-focused app you may already trust.
iMessage on Apple Devices
The iMessage channel connects OpenClaw to Apple's built-in messaging, so you can chat from the app already on your devices.
All Through One Gateway
Slack, Signal, and iMessage each pair through the same Gateway. Adding one does not disturb the channels you already have.
One Assistant Across Worlds
A work question in Slack and a private note in Signal both reach the same OpenClaw. The context, not the app, is what differs.
Sessions Stay Separated
Each channel and sender keeps its own session, so a Slack workspace thread will not bleed into your private Signal chat.
Mind Group Channels
In shared Slack channels you usually want replies only when mentioned, which OpenClaw's mention rules can enforce for you.
Each Has Setup Quirks
Slack, Signal, and iMessage each connect differently. Follow the per-platform steps in the docs rather than guessing.
Mix and Match
You can run Slack for work and Signal for personal at the same time. One Gateway keeps them all bridged together.
Choose What Fits You
Pick the channel that matches your life: Slack for teams, Signal for privacy, iMessage for Apple. They all lead to one assistant. 🔗
