## Set up a Signal channel

The Signal channel connects IronClaw to a running [signal-cli](https://github.com/AsamK/signal-cli) HTTP daemon. Before configuring IronClaw, start signal-cli in daemon mode on your machine.

***

## Configuration Options

Configure the Signal channel through environment variables:

| Variable            | Description                                                      |
| ------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `SIGNAL_HTTP_URL`   | URL of the signal-cli HTTP daemon                                |
| `SIGNAL_ACCOUNT`    | Your Signal phone number (e.g. `+1234567890`)                    |
| `SIGNAL_ALLOW_FROM` | Comma-separated list of phone numbers allowed to message the bot |

```bash theme={null}
export SIGNAL_HTTP_URL=http://127.0.0.1:8080
export SIGNAL_ACCOUNT=+1234567890
export SIGNAL_ALLOW_FROM=+0987654321,+11234567890
