Requirements
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a WhatsApp Business account?
Yes. OpenClaw connects through the WhatsApp Business API, which requires a WhatsApp Business account and a verified phone number. Personal WhatsApp accounts are not supported.
Is there a message limit?
StartLobster imposes no message limits. WhatsApp's own Business API has conversation-based pricing tiers from Meta, but there are no additional per-message fees from us.
Can OpenClaw send files through WhatsApp?
Yes. OpenClaw can generate and send PDFs, spreadsheets, images, and other files directly via WhatsApp.
Is the WhatsApp integration GDPR-compliant?
Yes, when using the Business API and hosting your data on European servers. We ensure all data stays in German/EU data centers.
