## Documentation

### WhatsApp Ultimate

Everything you can do in WhatsApp, your AI agent can do too.

This skill documents all WhatsApp capabilities available through OpenClaw's native channel integration. No external Docker services, no CLI wrappers — just direct WhatsApp Web protocol via Baileys.

### Prerequisites

OpenClaw with WhatsApp channel configured
WhatsApp account linked via QR code (openclaw whatsapp login)

### Capabilities Overview

CategoryFeaturesMessagingText, media, polls, stickers, voice notes, GIFsInteractionsReactions, replies/quotes, edit, unsendGroupsCreate, rename, icon, description, participants, admin, invite links

Total: 22 distinct actions

### Send Text

message action=send channel=whatsapp to="+34612345678" message="Hello!"

### Send Media (Image/Video/Document)

message action=send channel=whatsapp to="+34612345678" message="Check this out" filePath=/path/to/image.jpg

Supported: JPG, PNG, GIF, MP4, PDF, DOC, etc.

### Send Poll

message action=poll channel=whatsapp to="+34612345678" pollQuestion="What time?" pollOption=["3pm", "4pm", "5pm"]

### Send Sticker

message action=sticker channel=whatsapp to="+34612345678" filePath=/path/to/sticker.webp

Must be WebP format, ideally 512x512.

### Send Voice Note

message action=send channel=whatsapp to="+34612345678" filePath=/path/to/audio.ogg asVoice=true

Critical: Use OGG/Opus format for WhatsApp voice notes. MP3 may not play correctly.

### Send GIF

message action=send channel=whatsapp to="+34612345678" filePath=/path/to/animation.mp4 gifPlayback=true

Convert GIF to MP4 first (WhatsApp requires this):

ffmpeg -i input.gif -movflags faststart -pix_fmt yuv420p -vf "scale=trunc(iw/2)*2:trunc(ih/2)*2" output.mp4 -y

message action=react channel=whatsapp chatJid="34612345678@s.whatsapp.net" messageId="ABC123" emoji="🚀"

### Remove Reaction

message action=react channel=whatsapp chatJid="34612345678@s.whatsapp.net" messageId="ABC123" remove=true

### Reply/Quote Message

message action=reply channel=whatsapp to="34612345678@s.whatsapp.net" replyTo="QUOTED_MSG_ID" message="Replying to this!"

### Edit Message (Own Messages Only)

message action=edit channel=whatsapp chatJid="34612345678@s.whatsapp.net" messageId="ABC123" message="Updated text"

### Unsend/Delete Message

message action=unsend channel=whatsapp chatJid="34612345678@s.whatsapp.net" messageId="ABC123"

### Create Group

message action=group-create channel=whatsapp name="Project Team" participants=["+34612345678", "+34687654321"]

### Rename Group

message action=renameGroup channel=whatsapp groupId="123456789@g.us" name="New Name"

### Set Group Icon

message action=setGroupIcon channel=whatsapp groupId="123456789@g.us" filePath=/path/to/icon.jpg

### Set Group Description

message action=setGroupDescription channel=whatsapp groupJid="123456789@g.us" description="Team chat for Q1 project"

### Add Participant

message action=addParticipant channel=whatsapp groupId="123456789@g.us" participant="+34612345678"

### Remove Participant

message action=removeParticipant channel=whatsapp groupId="123456789@g.us" participant="+34612345678"

### Promote to Admin

message action=promoteParticipant channel=whatsapp groupJid="123456789@g.us" participants=["+34612345678"]

### Demote from Admin

message action=demoteParticipant channel=whatsapp groupJid="123456789@g.us" participants=["+34612345678"]

### Leave Group

message action=leaveGroup channel=whatsapp groupId="123456789@g.us"

### Get Invite Link

message action=getInviteCode channel=whatsapp groupJid="123456789@g.us"

Returns: https://chat.whatsapp.com/XXXXX

### Revoke Invite Link

message action=revokeInviteCode channel=whatsapp groupJid="123456789@g.us"

### Get Group Info

message action=getGroupInfo channel=whatsapp groupJid="123456789@g.us"

Returns: name, description, participants, admins, creation date.

### JID Formats

WhatsApp uses JIDs (Jabber IDs) internally:

TypeFormatExampleIndividual<number>@s.whatsapp.net34612345678@s.whatsapp.netGroup<id>@g.us123456789012345678@g.us

When using to= with phone numbers, OpenClaw auto-converts to JID format.

### Voice Notes

Always use OGG/Opus format:

ffmpeg -i input.wav -c:a libopus -b:a 64k output.ogg

### Stickers

Convert images to WebP stickers:

ffmpeg -i input.png -vf "scale=512:512:force_original_aspect_ratio=decrease,pad=512:512:(ow-iw)/2:(oh-ih)/2:color=0x00000000" output.webp

### Acknowledgment Messages (ackMessage)

Send an instant text message when an inbound message is received — fires at gateway level before model inference:

{
  "channels": {
    "whatsapp": {
      "ackMessage": {
        "text": "⚡",
        "direct": true,
        "group": "never"
      }
    }
  }
}

FieldTypeDefaultDescriptiontextstring""Message to send (empty = disabled)directbooleantrueSend in direct chatsgroup"always" / "mentions" / "never""never"Group behavior

This is different from ackReaction (which sends an emoji reaction). ackMessage sends a standalone message bubble — visible in WhatsApp Web even when reaction flips aren't.

### Rate Limits

WhatsApp has anti-spam measures. Avoid:

Bulk messaging to many contacts
Rapid-fire messages
Messages to contacts who haven't messaged you first

### Message IDs

To react/edit/unsend, you need the message ID. Incoming messages include this in the event payload. For your own sent messages, the send response includes the ID.

### Media Download (from History)

Download images, videos, documents, and audio from past WhatsApp messages stored in the history database. Uses Baileys' downloadContentFromMessage with the media keys stored in raw_json — no active socket needed.

### List Recent Media

cd ~/src/tinkerclaw && npx tsx src/whatsapp-history/download-media.ts --list-media [--since YYYY-MM-DD] [--chat <jid|name>] [--limit N]

### Download by Message ID

cd ~/src/tinkerclaw && npx tsx src/whatsapp-history/download-media.ts --id <messageId> [--out <directory>]

Default output: ~/.openclaw/workspace/data/wa-media/<messageId>.<ext>

### Notes

Media URLs on WhatsApp servers expire after ~2 weeks. Download promptly.
Works for: images, videos, documents, audio, stickers, voice notes.
Extension auto-detected from the message's mimetype.
The raw_json column in the messages table must contain the original Baileys proto (live-captured messages only, not imported .txt exports).

### 3.5.1

Added: Media download from history — download-media.ts script extracts media keys from stored raw_json and downloads/decrypts directly from WhatsApp CDN without needing an active socket connection.

### 3.5.0

Added: ackMessage — gateway-level instant message acknowledgment. Sends a configurable text message (e.g. ⚡) the moment an inbound message arrives, before any model inference. Fires at the same speed as ackReaction (emoji flip). Useful as a visual cue to distinguish your messages from bot replies in WhatsApp Web where reaction flips aren't visible.

### 3.4.0

Fixed: Chat search now resolves LID/JID aliases — searching by chat name finds messages across both @lid and @s.whatsapp.net JID formats
Added: resolveChatJids() cross-references chats, contacts, and messages tables to discover all JID aliases for a given chat filter
Improved: Search falls back to original LIKE behaviour if no JIDs resolve, so no regressions

### Pairs Well With

outlook-hack — same philosophy for Outlook: reads everything, drafts replies, won't send
teams-hack — Teams integration with the same browser-relay approach
agent-superpowers — engineering discipline for the agent running behind these channels
