Integrate Enterprise WeChat with OpenClaw Locally—No Public IP or Callbacks Required

Overview

The author announces that OpenClaw now officially supports Enterprise WeChat, allowing both single‑chat and group‑chat integration without requiring a public IP or external callbacks, and can run on a local terminal or Tencent Cloud Lighthouse.

Preparation

OpenClaw – installed and running.

Enterprise WeChat – registered and usable.

Step 1: Create a WeChat Bot

Log in to the Enterprise WeChat admin console (work.weixin.qq.com), navigate Security & Management → Management Tools → Smart Robot , click Create Bot , choose API mode , and scroll to the bottom to obtain the Bot ID and Secret . These credentials are needed later.

Step 2: Install the Official WeCom Plugin

Run the following command in a terminal to install the plugin:

openclaw plugins install @wecom/wecom-openclaw-plugin

Restart the OpenClaw gateway to activate the plugin:

openclaw gateway restart

Add a new channel:

openclaw channels add

Select Yes to enable the channel, choose Enterprise WeChat (WeCom) , and paste the previously saved Bot ID and Secret. Confirm the configuration, enable Pairing mode, and set No for automatic approval to use manual pairing.

Step 3: Pair and Test

In the Enterprise WeChat admin, locate the newly created bot and click Save . Edit the bot’s avatar, name, and description, then click Confirm . Add the desired organization or users and click Add , then Save .

Open the WeChat client, search for the bot, and send a message. The bot returns a pairing code .

Back in the terminal, approve the pairing using the code:

openclaw pairing approve wecom <pairing code>

Send another message in WeChat; a successful reply confirms the integration.

Beyond Adding a Channel

The integration is more than just an extra channel; it upgrades the scenario to enable structured data handling via Smart Sheet webhook and action automation through the Enterprise WeChat API . This paves the way for AI assistants to operate directly within Enterprise WeChat, moving AI deployment from demos to everyday use.
