×Message OpenClaw on WhatsApp or Telegram, let it prepare Instagram drafts and a weekday cron job through Tareno, and approve every slot yourself in Tareno.
Yes. If WhatsApp, Telegram or another channel is configured in your OpenClaw Gateway, a message can start the work: OpenClaw calls Tareno, checks your Instagram account and your media library and saves drafts. A cron job can prepare drafts on weekdays. Scheduling and publishing requests stay pending until you approve them in Tareno.

Small studios and shops plan their Instagram week in the gaps between other work, usually on a phone. OpenClaw fits that habit: it receives your request in a chat app you already use and does the planning where the tools are. With Tareno connected through MCP it can look at your account, find approved photos and prepare the week's drafts, while a scheduled run keeps the pipeline filled on weekdays. This page shows the loop for a yoga studio, what the allowlist for the cron job should contain and why the final decision still sits in the Tareno dashboard.
Imagine a studio owner who teaches in the evenings. On Sunday she sends OpenClaw a WhatsApp message: five photos are in the library, the themes this week are breathing and beginner classes. OpenClaw asks Tareno for list_accounts to confirm the Instagram account, reads the library with list_media, and pairs five approved photos with five captions, one per weekday, balancing the two themes. It saves them through create_drafts and replies in the chat with a table of file, caption and day. She answers "move Wednesday to Thursday", OpenClaw updates the plan, and she approves the slots later in the dashboard. A weekday cron run at 08:30 prepares one new draft when the queue falls below three, using a tool allowlist that excludes scheduling and publishing.
WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, Signal and the OpenClaw terminal can all receive requests, but only if the channel is set up in your Gateway and your sender is allowed. These are input channels, not places Tareno publishes to.
OpenClaw checks the connected Instagram account with list_accounts before it prepares anything. If several accounts exist, name the studio account in the first message.
Say how many posts, which themes and which photos in your library are approved. The more concrete the frame, the less OpenClaw has to guess about image and caption pairs.
OpenClaw reads your library with list_media, proposes one caption per photo and shows the result in the chat as a short table. Confirm or correct it in the same conversation.
Once you agree, OpenClaw saves the drafts through create_drafts and replies with filenames, captions and planned days. Nothing is scheduled yet.
A cron job can prepare a draft each weekday morning. Give it a tool allowlist with account reads, post reads and draft creation only, so a scheduled run can never schedule or publish anything.
Use Tareno to look at my Instagram account [name] and my media library. Plan five posts for Monday to Friday around the themes [breathing] and [beginner classes] using only the approved photos [filenames]. Show a table with day, file and caption, and save nothing until I answer.The plan is confirmed with one change: [move Wednesday to Thursday]. Save all five posts as drafts through Tareno for [account name], and reply with the draft IDs next to each filename. Do not schedule or publish anything.Every weekday, check my Instagram drafts through Tareno. If fewer than three drafts exist, write one new draft from the next unused approved photo in the media library, in the voice of my earlier captions. Never schedule or publish, and report the draft ID and the file you used.Use Tareno to list my scheduled and draft Instagram posts for the next two weeks and tell me which days are empty. Do not change anything, and suggest two themes I have not covered in the last month.As configured in Tareno on 2026-10-24. The live rules for your own account come from the get_platform_schema tool.

list_accountsChecked:
Yes, if WhatsApp is configured in your OpenClaw Gateway and your number is allowed. OpenClaw then calls Tareno to prepare drafts. WhatsApp is only the input channel; scheduling and publishing remain pending actions in Tareno until you approve them.
It can run unattended and prepare drafts, but Tareno scheduling and publishing calls create pending actions that need your approval. The safest setup uses an allowlist of reads and draft creation, so a scheduled run cannot schedule anything.
A running OpenClaw Gateway at the scheduled time, a Tareno connection with the tools you allow and a prompt that says what to do when drafts are missing. If the Gateway is off at 08:30, that day's run does not happen.
It reads your Tareno media library and matches files to the themes and notes you give it. It cannot see brand rules you have not stated, so you confirm each pairing in the chat and again when you open the draft in Tareno.
Instagram's documentation says API publishing works for professional accounts. Connect a professional account in Tareno first, then OpenClaw will see it in the account list; a personal account has to be switched.
It can read the comments on a post and group them, because Tareno exposes comment reading for Instagram, but it cannot publish a reply. You paste the approved wording into Instagram yourself.
