This is for sending WhatsApp messages to third parties or digging through your message history, not for chatting with Claude over WhatsApp. It wraps wacli, a CLI tool that lets you search past conversations, backfill history, and fire off texts or files to contacts and groups. The main thing to understand is scope: if you're already talking to Claude on WhatsApp, you don't need this. You need it when you want Claude to message someone else on your behalf or hunt through months of chat logs for that invoice or address. It's careful about confirmations before sending, which is exactly what you want when handing off message access to an AI.

Files

wacli

Use wacli only when the user explicitly asks you to message someone else on WhatsApp or when they ask to sync/search WhatsApp history. Do NOT use wacli for normal user chats; OpenClaw routes WhatsApp conversations automatically. If the user is chatting with you on WhatsApp, you should not reach for this tool unless they ask you to contact a third party.

Safety

  • Require explicit recipient + message text.
  • Confirm recipient + message before sending.
  • If anything is ambiguous, ask a clarifying question.

Auth + sync

  • wacli auth (QR login + initial sync)
  • wacli sync --follow (continuous sync)
  • wacli doctor

Find chats + messages

  • wacli chats list --limit 20 --query "name or number"
  • wacli messages search "query" --limit 20 --chat <jid>
  • wacli messages search "invoice" --after 2025-01-01 --before 2025-12-31

Inspect / verify messages

  • wacli messages show --chat <jid> --id <message_id> --json --full
  • messages show requires both --chat and --id; do not pass the message ID as a positional argument.
  • After sending, verify the stored message when exact formatting matters, especially multiline text.
