Why Post From a Chat App

The best photo for your feed is usually taken on your phone, away from your desk: the new stock arriving, the finished job, the event in progress. By the time you're back at a laptop, the moment has passed. Social apps let you post one network at a time; schedulers on mobile are fiddly. Sending a message to an assistant is the one thing everyone already does from their phone.

1. Connect

1. Run the commands below where your OpenClaw gateway runs.
2. Open the link openclaw mcp login prints, sign in to Autoadify and approve.
3. Message your claw.

openclaw mcp add autoadify --url https://mcp.autoadify.com/mcp --transport streamable-http --auth oauth
openclaw mcp login autoadify

2. Posting by message

Send a photo with plain instructions. Some examples that work well:

[photo] New batch of the oat candles just came in. Post to Instagram and Facebook tomorrow at 6pm, warm and short, mention they're back in stock.

[photo] Finished this kitchen today. LinkedIn post about the job, no client name, and a shorter one for Instagram. Schedule both for Monday morning.

What's scheduled for this week? Move Thursday's Instagram post to Friday.

OpenClaw uploads the photo it received into your Autoadify media library (create_media_upload), checks each network's rules (list_channels), writes the captions and schedules them with create_post. It replies with what it scheduled and when.

3. A morning digest

OpenClaw can run jobs on a schedule and send the result to your chat. Set one up in plain words:

Every weekday at 8am, message me what's scheduled in Autoadify for today, and flag any post from yesterday that failed with the reason.

That's list_posts and get_post on a timer: a two-line message that tells you whether today's posts are ready and whether anything needs fixing.

Post your next photo from your phone: start with Autoadify and connect your claw.

Honest Limits

• Your gateway has to be running. OpenClaw runs on your own machine or server. If it's a laptop that's asleep, messages and scheduled jobs wait. A small always-on server is the reliable setup.
• Ask for a confirmation step. Tell your claw to reply with the captions before scheduling, at least until you trust it. A typo in a voice note shouldn't become a post.
• Chat apps compress photos. WhatsApp shrinks images. Send as a document/file if quality matters.
• Check your OpenClaw version. Sign-in with OAuth needs a version with MCP OAuth; older ones use an API key.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which chat apps work?

Whichever ones your OpenClaw is connected to, commonly WhatsApp and Telegram. Autoadify doesn't care which app the message came from.

Can it post video?

Yes. Send a video file and ask for a Reel or TikTok; check the network's length limits first.

Can several people in my team message it?

That depends on how your OpenClaw is set up. Every post goes to the Autoadify workspace it signed in to.

Is my Autoadify sign-in stored on my server?

Yes, by OpenClaw on the machine where the gateway runs, the same as any other MCP server it connects to.

Can I use an API key instead?

Yes. Create one in Autoadify under Settings → API & MCP and limit it to the channels the agent should post to.

Which Autoadify plan?

Pro ($29/mo) and above include the MCP server. See pricing.

The Bottom Line

The fastest way to post a photo from your phone to five networks is to message it to an agent that can schedule. OpenClaw plus Autoadify makes that one WhatsApp or Telegram message, with a daily check-in on what's going out. Connect OpenClaw.
