Workspace Linking

When a user sends /connect UTR-XXXXXX:
  1. OpenClaw receives the message
  2. Extracts the workspace code
  3. Queries Supabase profiles table for matching code

​
Multi-Channel

All channels run simultaneously through the single Gateway process. A user can connect Telegram, Slack, and WhatsApp at the same time, all sharing the same Ultron workspace data.
