* docs: add WeChat channel via official Tencent iLink Bot plugin Add WeChat to the README channel lists and setup section. Uses the official Tencent-published plugin @tencent-weixin/openclaw-weixin which connects via the iLink Bot API (QR code login, long-poll). Requires WeChat 8.0.70+ with the ClawBot plugin enabled; the plugin is being rolled out gradually by Tencent. Covers: setup steps, capabilities (DM-only, media up to 100 MB, multi-account, pairing authorization, typing indicators, config path), and the context token restart caveat. * docs: update WeChat plugin install for v2.0 compatibility - Add version compatibility note (v2.x requires OpenClaw >= 2026.3.22, @legacy tag for older hosts) - Add plugins.allow step (required since plugins.allow was introduced) * docs: drop manual plugins.allow/enable steps (handled by plugins install) * docs: fix multi-account instruction to require explicit --account id * docs: trim WeChat section to match neighboring channels, fix pairing link * docs: sync WeChat channel docs --------- Co-authored-by: Ayaan Zaidi <hi@obviy.us>

Chat Channels
OpenClaw can talk to you on any chat app you already use. Each channel connects via the Gateway. Text is supported everywhere; media and reactions vary by channel.
Supported channels
- BlueBubbles — Recommended for iMessage; uses the BlueBubbles macOS server REST API with full feature support (edit, unsend, effects, reactions, group management — edit currently broken on macOS 26 Tahoe).
- Discord — Discord Bot API + Gateway; supports servers, channels, and DMs.
- Feishu — Feishu/Lark bot via WebSocket (plugin, installed separately).
- Google Chat — Google Chat API app via HTTP webhook.
- iMessage (legacy) — Legacy macOS integration via imsg CLI (deprecated, use BlueBubbles for new setups).
- IRC — Classic IRC servers; channels + DMs with pairing/allowlist controls.
- LINE — LINE Messaging API bot (plugin, installed separately).

Notes
- Channels can run simultaneously; configure multiple and OpenClaw will route per chat.
- Fastest setup is usually Telegram (simple bot token). WhatsApp requires QR pairing and stores more state on disk.
- Group behavior varies by channel; see Groups.
- DM pairing and allowlists are enforced for safety; see Security.
- Troubleshooting: Channel troubleshooting.
- Model providers are documented separately; see Model Providers.
