Add a channel
openclaw channels add
The wizard lists all available channels and guides you through credentials for the one you choose.
Feishu for team collaboration
If your team uses Feishu, use the official plugin for the smoothest setup:
openclaw skills install @openclaw/feishu
See Feishu setup for detailed configuration.
WebChat: zero-config start
WebChat needs no extra credentials. After installation, open the dashboard:
http://127.0.0.1:18789/
You can test the full loop immediately without configuring any external channel.
Pick one channel first
Connect one channel first and confirm the message loop works:
- Send input in your chat tool
- OpenClaw receives it
- It processes with skills and model
- The result returns to your chat
Once that works, add more channels as needed.
