Goal
Add a short, practical how-to article that helps users configure channels (e.g. Telegram, WhatsApp, or other channels supported by OpenClaw) after they have the system up and running.
Context
The main setup is documented (Quick start, Raspberry Pi one-command setup, etc.). Channel configuration is intentionally left to the user, but we should guide them through the first steps so they can connect their agent to the channels they want.
What the how-to should cover
- Where channel configuration lives (e.g.
config/openclaw.json, agent .env, or other relevant files).
- Step-by-step (short and sweet) to add and enable one or more channels.
- Any required secrets, webhooks, or external setup (e.g. bot tokens, app credentials).
- How to verify the channel is working (e.g. test message or health check).
Format
Keep it concise: how-to style, not a long reference. Link to official channel docs where relevant. The article can live under docs/ (e.g. docs/HOWTO-CHANNELS.md) and be linked from the main README or CONTRIBUTING where appropriate.
