Zalo Personal support for OpenClaw via a plugin that uses native zca-js to automate a normal Zalo user account. No external zca/openzca CLI binary is required.
Unofficial automation may lead to account suspension or ban. Use at your own risk.

​
Naming

Channel id is zalouser to make it explicit this automates a personal Zalo user account (unofficial). The separate zalo channel id is the official, bundled Zalo Bot/webhook integration - see Zalo.

​
Where it runs

This plugin runs inside the Gateway process. For a remote Gateway, install/configure it on that host, then restart the Gateway.

​
Install

​
From npm

openclaw plugins install @openclaw/zalouser
Use the bare package to follow the current official release tag; pin an exact version only when you need a reproducible install. Restart the Gateway afterwards.

​
From a local folder (dev)

PLUGIN_SRC=./path/to/local/zalouser-plugin
openclaw plugins install "$PLUGIN_SRC"
cd "$PLUGIN_SRC" && pnpm install
Restart the Gateway afterwards.

​
Config

Channel config lives under channels.zalouser (not plugins.entries.*): 
{
  channels: {
    zalouser: {
      enabled: true,
      dmPolicy: "pairing",
    },
  },
}
See Zalo personal channel config for DM/group access control, multi-account setup, environment variables, and troubleshooting.
