发送您的第一条消息

Your channel is paired, so now you can message OpenClaw directly. This first hello proves the whole loop works end to end.

In WhatsApp, open the chat connected to your assistant. You simply type like you would to any contact. 💬

Start with a plain greeting like hello. A small message is the easiest way to confirm the assistant is listening.

Your text leaves WhatsApp, crosses the Gateway, and reaches the agent running on your machine. That path is the whole bridge at work.

The bundled agent runtime handles your message using the LLM key you set up. This is where the actual thinking happens.

The answer travels the same path in reverse and lands in WhatsApp. You get a reply right inside the chat you already use.

You are not limited to words. You can send images, audio, and documents too, and receive them back through the same chat.

Once hello works, give it a real task. Ask a question or request a small action to see the assistant actually do something for you.

Open the dashboard to watch your message and reply flow through. It is a handy way to confirm everything is connected.

No answer usually means the channel or daemon is not connected. Re-check the Gateway on the dashboard, or rerun onboarding.

That round trip means OpenClaw is truly running. From here, every chat just builds on this working connection. 🎉

Let us trace where your message goes.

You sent your first message: it traveled through the Gateway to the agent and back as a reply, working for text, images, audio, and files. ✅
