# Configuration Examples
Examples below are aligned with the current config schema. For the exhaustive reference and per-field notes, see [Configuration](/gateway/configuration).
## Quick start
### Absolute minimum
```json5
{
agent: { workspace: "~/.openclaw/workspace" },
channels: { whatsapp: { allowFrom: ["+15555550123"] } },
}
```
Save to `~/.openclaw/openclaw.json` and you can DM the bot from that number.
### Recommended starter
```json5
{
identity: {
name: "Clawd",
theme: "helpful assistant",
emoji: "🦞",
},
agent: {
workspace: "~/.openclaw/workspace",
model: { primary: "anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-5" },
},
channels: {
whatsapp: {
allowFrom: ["+15555550123"],
groups: { "*": { requireMention: true } },
},
},
}
```
## Expanded example (major options)
> JSON5 lets you use comments and trailing commas. Regular JSON works too.

## Common patterns
### Multi-platform setup
```json5
{
agent: { workspace: "~/.openclaw/workspace" },
channels: {
whatsapp: { allowFrom: ["+15555550123"] },
telegram: {
enabled: true,
botToken: "YOUR_TOKEN",
allowFrom: ["123456789"],
},
discord: {
enabled: true,
token: "YOUR_TOKEN",
dm: { allowFrom: ["123456789012345678"] },
},
},
}
```
### Secure DM mode (shared inbox / multi-user DMs)
If more than one person can DM your bot (multiple entries in `allowFrom`, pairing approvals for multiple people, or `dmPolicy: "open"`), enable **secure DM mode** so DMs from different senders don’t share one context by default:
```json5
{
// Secure DM mode (recommended for multi-user or sensitive DM agents)
session: { dmScope: "per-channel-peer" },
channels: {
// Example: WhatsApp multi-user inbox
whatsapp: {
dmPolicy: "allowlist",
allowFrom: ["+15555550123", "+15555550124"],
},
// Example: Discord multi-user inbox
discord: {
enabled: true,
token: "YOUR_DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN",
dm: { enabled: true, allowFrom: ["123456789012345678", "987654321098765432"] },
},
},
}
```
For Discord/Slack/Google Chat/MS Teams/Mattermost/IRC, sender authorization is ID-first by default.
Only enable direct mutable name/email/nick matching with each channel's `dangerouslyAllowNameMatching: true` if you explicitly accept that risk.
### OAuth with API key failover
```json5
{
auth: {
profiles: {
"anthropic:subscription": {
provider: "anthropic",
mode: "oauth",
email: "me@example.com",
},
"anthropic:api": {
provider: "anthropic",
mode: "api_key",
},
},
order: {
anthropic: ["anthropic:subscription", "anthropic:api"],
},
},
agent: {
workspace: "~/.openclaw/workspace",
model: {
primary: "anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-5",
fallbacks: ["anthropic/claude-opus-4-6"],
},
},
}
```
### Anthropic setup-token + API key, MiniMax fallback
<Warning>
Anthropic setup-token usage outside Claude Code has been restricted for some
users in the past. Treat this as user-choice risk and verify current Anthropic
terms before depending on subscription auth.
</Warning>
```json5
{
auth: {
profiles: {
"anthropic:subscription": {
provider: "anthropic",
mode: "oauth",
email: "user@example.com",
},
"anthropic:api": {
provider: "anthropic",
mode: "api_key",
},
},
order: {
anthropic: ["anthropic:subscription", "anthropic:api"],
},
},
models: {
providers: {
minimax: {
baseUrl: "https://api.minimax.io/anthropic",
api: "anthropic-messages",
apiKey: "${MINIMAX_API_KEY}",
},
},
},
agent: {
workspace: "~/.openclaw/workspace",
model: {
primary: "anthropic/claude-opus-4-6",
fallbacks: ["minimax/MiniMax-M2.5"],
},
},
}
```
### Work bot (restricted access)
```json5
{
identity: {
name: "WorkBot",
theme: "professional assistant",
},
agent: {
workspace: "~/work-openclaw",
elevated: { enabled: false },
},
channels: {
slack: {
enabled: true,
botToken: "xoxb-...",
channels: {
"#engineering": { allow: true, requireMention: true },
"#general": { allow: true, requireMention: true },
},
},
},
}
```
### Local models only
```json5
{
agent: {
workspace: "~/.openclaw/workspace",
model: { primary: "lmstudio/minimax-m2.5-gs32" },
},
models: {
mode: "merge",
providers: {
lmstudio: {
baseUrl: "http://127.0.0.1:1234/v1",
apiKey: "lmstudio",
api: "openai-responses",
models: [
{
id: "minimax-m2.5-gs32",
name: "MiniMax M2.5 GS32",
reasoning: false,
input: ["text"],
cost: { input: 0, output: 0, cacheRead: 0, cacheWrite: 0 },
contextWindow: 196608,
maxTokens: 8192,
},
],
},
},
},
}
```
## Tips
- If you set `dmPolicy: "open"`, the matching `allowFrom` list must include `"*"`.
- Provider IDs differ (phone numbers, user IDs, channel IDs). Use the provider docs to confirm the format.
- Optional sections to add later: `web`, `browser`, `ui`, `discovery`, `canvasHost`, `talk`, `signal`, `imessage`.
- See [Providers](/providers) and [Troubleshooting](/gateway/troubleshooting) for deeper setup notes.
