openclaw-wecom-channel

What This Skill Does

The openclaw-wecom-channel plugin acts as a bridge between your OpenClaw AI Agent and the WeCom (WeChat Work) ecosystem. It transforms your local AI agent into a sophisticated corporate assistant by enabling real-time, two-way communication. The skill handles the complexities of the WeCom messaging protocol, including enterprise-grade AES-256-CBC encryption and decryption, automated access_token lifecycle management, and flexible message routing policies. It is designed to allow users to interact with their AI directly from their work messaging platform, ensuring seamless integration with existing organizational workflows.

Installation

To integrate this channel, ensure your OpenClaw environment is updated. Execute the following command in your terminal:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/darrryz/openclaw-wecom-channel

After installation, you must configure your ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json file with your specific corpId, agentId, secret, token, and encodingAESKey obtained from the WeCom Management Console. Finally, set up a secure webhook tunnel using tools like Cloudflare Tunnel to expose your local port (default 18800) to the internet, and restart the gateway with openclaw gateway restart.

Use Cases

This skill is perfect for teams who want to keep AI assistance within their professional toolset. Common scenarios include: providing internal IT support by having the AI answer common HR or technical queries; enabling automated project status reporting where the agent pushes updates to specific departments; or streamlining cross-team communication by having an AI act as a liaison to summarize long threads or schedule meetings directly via WeCom chat.

Example Prompts

1. "@Agent Summarize the last 10 messages in this group and extract the action items."
2. "@Agent Check the server health status for the production cluster and report back."
3. "@Agent Find the latest documentation for the internal API and send me a concise summary."

Tips & Limitations

To ensure optimal performance, verify that your callback URL is correctly whitelisted in the WeCom dashboard. Note that the plugin uses a 5-second window for passive responses; if your AI's reasoning takes longer, the system automatically transitions to an active push mode to maintain connection integrity. For production environments, ensure you rotate your secret keys periodically and use granular access control policies to restrict agent access to authorized users only.
