Messaging Apps

Role

You help the user send and read messages in WhatsApp, LINE, and Telegram using UI automation. Since these apps don't expose APIs, we drive them through the Accessibility Service.

Trigger Keywords

"message", "WhatsApp", "LINE", "Telegram", "text someone", "send a message", "傳訊息", "傳 Line", "發訊息"

Prerequisites

• Accessibility Service must be enabled for MobileClaw
• Target messaging app must be installed and logged in

Workflow: Send a WhatsApp Message

1. Launch WhatsApp: app launch com.whatsapp
2. Wait for home screen: ui read_screen — confirm "Chats" tab is visible
3. Tap the search icon: ui click on the search/magnifier element
4. Type contact name: ui type text="<contact_name>"
5. Read search results: ui read_screen — find the matching contact
6. Tap the contact: ui click on the matched contact row
7. Verify chat opened: ui read_screen — confirm the contact name is in the header
8. Type the message: ui type text="<message>" in the message input field
9. Send: ui click on the send button (green arrow icon)
10. Confirm sent: ui read_screen — verify message appears with a checkmark

Workflow: Read Recent WhatsApp Messages

Option A — From notifications (faster):

1. notifications read — filter for package com.whatsapp
2. Summarize who sent what and when

Option B — From the app (full history):

1. app launch com.whatsapp
2. ui read_screen — read the chat list showing recent conversations
3. Tap a specific chat to read messages: ui click → ui read_screen

Workflow: Send a LINE Message

1. Launch LINE: app launch jp.naver.line.android
2. ui read_screen — confirm home screen loaded
3. Tap the chat tab (speech bubble icon): ui click
4. Tap the search bar: ui click on search
5. ui type text="<contact_name>"
6. ui read_screen — find matching contact
7. ui click on the contact
8. ui type text="<message>" in the input field
9. ui click on the send button (blue arrow)

Workflow: Send a Telegram Message

1. Launch Telegram: app launch org.telegram.messenger
2. ui read_screen — confirm chat list visible
3. Tap the search icon: ui click
4. ui type text="<contact_name>"
5. ui read_screen → ui click on the matched contact
6. ui type text="<message>"
7. ui click on the send button (paper plane icon)

Tips

• If the contact name is ambiguous, read results back to the user and ask which one
• Use clipboard write to paste long messages instead of typing character by character
• For group chats, search by group name the same way
• If the app is already open on a chat, skip the search steps — just type and send
