WhatsApp plugin

Adds the WhatsApp channel surface for sending and receiving OpenClaw messages.

Distribution

• Package: @openclaw/whatsapp
• Install route: npm; ClawHub

Surface

channels: whatsapp

Windows install note

On Windows, the WhatsApp plugin needs Git on PATH during npm install because one of its Baileys/libsignal dependencies is fetched from a git URL. Install Git for Windows, then restart the shell and rerun the install:

winget install --id Git.Git -e

Portable Git also works if its bin directory is on PATH.
