Screenshots

Step-by-step screenshots showing the full SimpleX pairing flow from generating an invite link through contact approval and the first agent conversation.

This page shows the supported SimpleX pairing and approval flow.

This walkthrough assumes channels.openclaw-simplex.connection.wsUrl already points to a running SimpleX runtime. If not, start with Getting Started.

Generate a one-time invite link with the plugin CLI:

openclaw simplex invite create --qr

You can also generate or inspect links directly in the simplex-chat console with /c, /ad, or /show_address. For automation, OpenClaw also exposes gateway methods for invites, runtime status, runtime users, verification, contact requests, group links, moderation, file controls, and link onboarding.

1. Send the first message

   Send the first message from the SimpleX app and capture the pairing request.

   
2. Review the pairing request in OpenClaw

   openclaw pairing list should now show a pending request for the sender that just messaged the agent.

   
3. Approve the pairing request

   openclaw pairing list
   openclaw pairing approve openclaw-simplex <pairingCode>
   
4. Confirm approval and successful chat

   After approval, SimpleX should show the access-approved message and the next user message should receive an agent reply.
