TL;DR

Add a hello-world example or tutorial to the WhatsApp setup documentation to guide users on how to use WhatsApp in OpenClaw.

Guidance

  • Review the existing documentation at https://docs.openclaw.ai/channels/whatsapp to identify areas where a tutorial or example can be added.
  • Consider creating a step-by-step guide on sending a "hello world" message using WhatsApp in OpenClaw.
  • Evaluate the onboarding process to determine where a hook or indicator can be added to direct users to the WhatsApp tutorial.
  • Develop a clear and concise tutorial that covers the basics of using WhatsApp in OpenClaw, including setup and sending messages.

Notes

The solution relies on the assumption that the WhatsApp setup is functional, and the primary issue is the lack of guidance on using WhatsApp in OpenClaw.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Add a tutorial or example to the documentation to help users understand how to use WhatsApp in OpenClaw, as this will provide immediate guidance and improve the onboarding experience.
