Let me be straight with you. Baileys is not an official WhatsApp API. Using it technically violates WhatsApp's Terms of Service. In practice, thousands of bots run this way without issue, but you should know what you're getting into.
First, WhatsApp can ban your number without warning. A burner SIM protects your main account. Second, sessions drop occasionally. When that happens, you'll need to re-scan the QR code. OpenClaw auto-detects disconnects and alerts you in the Control UI.
Third, WhatsApp rate-limits outgoing messages to roughly 20 per minute. If your assistant tries to send faster than that, messages queue and arrive late. Keep that in mind if you plan on group use.
