# 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.

<Info>
  This walkthrough assumes <code>channels.openclaw-simplex.connection.wsUrl</code> already points to a running SimpleX runtime. If not, start with [Getting Started](/guide/getting-started).
</Info>

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

```bash theme={null}
openclaw simplex invite create --qr
```

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

<Steps>
  <Step title="Send the first message">
    Send the first message from the SimpleX app and capture the pairing request.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Review the pairing request in OpenClaw">
    <code>openclaw pairing list</code> should now show a pending request for the sender that just messaged the agent.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Approve the pairing request">
    ```bash theme={null}
    openclaw pairing list
    openclaw pairing approve openclaw-simplex <pairingCode>
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm approval and successful chat">
    After approval, SimpleX should show the access-approved message and the next user message should receive an agent reply.
