Cron job deliver:true doesn't route to WhatsApp #273

Description

Cron jobs with deliver: true and channel: whatsapp run successfully in isolated sessions but the final message is not delivered to WhatsApp.

Reproduction

  1. Create a cron job with:
{
  "payload": {
    "kind": "agentTurn",
    "message": "...",
    "deliver": true,
    "channel": "whatsapp"
  }
}
  1. Wait for it to run
  2. Check WhatsApp — no message received
  3. Check cron runs — shows status: ok with summary content

Expected

The agent's final response should be delivered to WhatsApp.

Actual

The cron job runs, generates content, but nothing is sent to WhatsApp. The message only exists in the isolated session logs.

Environment

  • clawdbot version: 2026.1.5-3
  • WhatsApp gateway: connected
  • macOS

Workaround

Possibly use explicit clawdbot send --provider whatsapp in the prompt instead of relying on deliver flag.
