How do I orchestrate multi-channel messaging workflows from the command line?

OpenClaw CLI orchestrates multi-channel messaging and agent workflows through command-driven operations. Use `openclaw setup` and `openclaw onboard` to initialize, then `openclaw channels login` to connect WhatsApp and Telegram, `openclaw gateway` to start the WebSocket gateway, and `openclaw message send` to deliver automated messages across channels.

Can I automate agent workflows and customer interactions across WhatsApp and Telegram?

OpenClaw enables agent orchestration and automated messaging across WhatsApp, Telegram, and other channels. Create and run agent workspaces with `openclaw agent`, manage device pairing and authentication tokens, and route conversations to agents while scheduling and tracking messages as part of larger automation flows.

What setup is required before sending automated messages through OpenClaw?

Before sending messages, run `openclaw setup` for initial configuration, `openclaw onboard` for profile setup, and `openclaw channels login` to authenticate and link your messaging channels. Start the gateway with `openclaw gateway` to establish the WebSocket connection required for reliable message delivery.

How do I monitor and diagnose the messaging gateway health?

OpenClaw enforces health checks and diagnostic steps to maintain reliable gateway operation. Start the gateway with `openclaw gateway &` and use `--verbose` flags with channel and messaging commands to diagnose connection issues and ensure end-to-end messaging control across your automation workflows.

Does OpenClaw support profile isolation and multi-workspace management?

OpenClaw provides profile isolation options during setup and onboarding, enabling separate workspaces for agent orchestration and channel management. This allows teams to isolate credentials, device pairings, and messaging workflows while maintaining centralized CLI control over multiple automation contexts.

What messaging channels and device pairing options does OpenClaw support?

OpenClaw supports WhatsApp, Telegram, and other messaging channels. Device pairing manages authentication tokens to secure channel access, while the gateway enables end-to-end control over message delivery, agent routing, and automated workflows across all linked channels from a single CLI interface.
