How to set up WhatsApp briefings in 15 minutes

WhatsApp briefings are the morning ritual for most BusellAI operators. Here's how to wire one up.

Prerequisites

• A Twilio account with a WhatsApp sandbox approved
• An OpenClaw workspace with at least one running agent
• 15 minutes

Steps

1. Generate a Twilio API key scoped to WhatsApp.
2. In OpenClaw, add the whatsapp-send skill.
3. Schedule a daily 6am cron that calls the briefing agent.
4. The briefing agent compiles: items needing approval, revenue changes, escalations.
5. Reply done to approve everything.

Pitfalls

• Don't skip the rate-limit cap. Twilio is strict.
• Always include a fallback channel (email) in case WhatsApp blocks you.
