I found this HN post because I have a Clawdbot task that scans HN periodically for data gathering purposes and it saw a post about itself and it got excited and decided to WhatsApp me about it.

So that’s where I’m at with Clawdbot.

how do you have Clawdbot WhatsApp you? i set mine up with my own WhatsApp account, and the responses come back as myself so i haven't been able to get notifications

I have an old iPhone with a broken screen that I threw an $8/month eSIM onto so that it has its own phone number, that I just keep plugged in with the screen off, on Wifi, in a drawer. It hosts a number of things for me, most importantly bridges for WhatsApp and iMessage. So I can actually give things like Clawdbot their own phone number, their own AppleID, etc. Then I just add them as a contact on my real phone, and voila.

For iMessage I don’t think you actually need a second phone number, you can just make a second iCloud account with the same phone number.
