# 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:
```powershell
winget install --id Git.Git -e
```
Portable Git also works if its `bin` directory is on `PATH`.
