Channels

Channels extend XClaw's Agent capabilities to external messaging platforms.

Most work communication happens on platforms like WeChat and Slack, but AI Agents typically live in their own isolated interfaces. Channels bridge this gap — messages from external platforms flow into XClaw automatically, and the Agent handles them just like local sessions.

WeChat is currently supported, with more platforms coming.

After connecting a channel, incoming messages appear in XClaw's session list alongside local sessions. You can manually select which messages need Agent attention, or set up automation rules so the Agent responds to specific message types on its own.

Channels are more than "chatting from another place." They let the Agent participate directly in the team's daily communication flow — analyzing customer feedback, summarizing meeting takeaways, auto-replying to common questions. The Agent evolves from a tool you need to actively open to a collaborator that's always online.

How to

Open Settings > Channels and select the platform you want to connect (currently WeChat). Follow the authorization flow — WeChat requires a QR code scan. Once connected, you'll see the channel status change to "Connected" in settings.

After connecting, messages from that platform automatically appear in your session list with a source label for easy identification. You can open them just like regular sessions and let the Agent handle them.

Want the Agent to auto-reply to certain messages? This is even more powerful when paired with automation rules — create a rule in Settings > Automations, set the trigger to "Channel Message," and define the Agent's response instructions. For example: "When a customer message containing 'quote' arrives, automatically look up the price list and draft a reply."

Channel messages are handled exactly like local sessions — the Agent can use all connected tools and Skills to respond.
