Build a WhatsApp AI agent with FastClaw

Link a WhatsApp number to a FastClaw agent by scanning a QR code, just like WhatsApp Web — the agent replies from that number.

01

Linked-device setup

Scan from WhatsApp → Settings → Linked devices → Link a device. No Business API account needed.

02

Paired on connect

Linking the number pairs the channel with you at the same time.

03

Keys stay local

Device keys and sessions live in their own file, $FASTCLAW_HOME/whatsapp.db.

What you can do

Set it up

  1. Open the agent in FastClaw and go to Channels → WhatsApp.
  2. On your phone, open WhatsApp → Settings → Linked devices → Link a device and scan the code.
  3. Message the linked number from another account to test.

Notes

WhatsApp is one of FastClaw's IM channels. Use a dedicated number: this is an unofficial protocol.
