# Auth monitoring
|
||||
|
||||
OpenClaw exposes OAuth expiry health via `openclaw models status`. Use that for
|
||||
automation and alerting; scripts are optional extras for phone workflows.
|
||||
|
||||
## Preferred: CLI check (portable)
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw models status --check
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Exit codes:
|
||||
|
||||
- `0`: OK
|
||||
- `1`: expired or missing credentials
|
||||
- `2`: expiring soon (within 24h)
|
||||
|
||||
This works in cron/systemd and requires no extra scripts.
|
||||
|
||||
## Optional scripts (ops / phone workflows)
|
||||
|
||||
These live under `scripts/` and are **optional**. They assume SSH access to the
|
||||
gateway host and are tuned for systemd + Termux.
|
||||
|
||||
- `scripts/claude-auth-status.sh` now uses `openclaw models status --json` as the
|
||||
source of truth (falling back to direct file reads if the CLI is unavailable),
|
||||
so keep `openclaw` on `PATH` for timers.
|
||||
- `scripts/auth-monitor.sh`: cron/systemd timer target; sends alerts (ntfy or phone).
|
||||
- `scripts/systemd/openclaw-auth-monitor.{service,timer}`: systemd user timer.
|
||||
- `scripts/claude-auth-status.sh`: Claude Code + OpenClaw auth checker (full/json/simple).
|
||||
- `scripts/mobile-reauth.sh`: guided re‑auth flow over SSH.
|
||||
- `scripts/termux-quick-auth.sh`: one‑tap widget status + open auth URL.
|
||||
- `scripts/termux-auth-widget.sh`: full guided widget flow.
|
||||
- `scripts/termux-sync-widget.sh`: sync Claude Code creds → OpenClaw.
|
||||
|
||||
If you don’t need phone automation or systemd timers, skip these scripts.

summary: "Cron jobs + wakeups for the Gateway scheduler"
|
||||
read_when:
|
||||
- Scheduling background jobs or wakeups
|
||||
- Wiring automation that should run with or alongside heartbeats
|
||||
- Deciding between heartbeat and cron for scheduled tasks
|

# Cron jobs (Gateway scheduler)
|
||||
|
||||
> **Cron vs Heartbeat?** See [Cron vs Heartbeat](/automation/cron-vs-heartbeat) for guidance on when to use each.
|
||||
|
||||
Cron is the Gateway’s built-in scheduler. It persists jobs, wakes the agent at
|
||||
the right time, and can optionally deliver output back to a chat.
|
||||
|
||||
If you want _“run this every morning”_ or _“poke the agent in 20 minutes”_,
|
||||
cron is the mechanism.
|
||||
|
||||
## TL;DR
|
||||
|
||||
- Cron runs **inside the Gateway** (not inside the model).
|
||||
- Jobs persist under `~/.openclaw/cron/` so restarts don’t lose schedules.
|
||||
- Two execution styles:
|
||||
- **Main session**: enqueue a system event, then run on the next heartbeat.
|
||||
- **Isolated**: run a dedicated agent turn in `cron:<jobId>`, with delivery (announce by default or none).
|
||||
- Wakeups are first-class: a job can request “wake now” vs “next heartbeat”.
|
||||
|
||||
## Quick start (actionable)
|
||||
|
||||
Create a one-shot reminder, verify it exists, and run it immediately:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw cron add \
|
||||
--name "Reminder" \
|
||||
--at "2026-02-01T16:00:00Z" \
|
||||
--session main \
|
||||
--system-event "Reminder: check the cron docs draft" \
|
||||
--wake now \
|
||||
--delete-after-run
|
||||
|
||||
openclaw cron list
|
||||
openclaw cron run <job-id> --force
|
||||
openclaw cron runs --id <job-id>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Schedule a recurring isolated job with delivery:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw cron add \
|
||||
--name "Morning brief" \
|
||||
--cron "0 7 * * *" \
|
||||
--tz "America/Los_Angeles" \
|
||||
--session isolated \
|
||||
--message "Summarize overnight updates." \
|
||||
--announce \
|
||||
--channel slack \
|
||||
--to "channel:C1234567890"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Tool-call equivalents (Gateway cron tool)
|
||||
|
||||
For the canonical JSON shapes and examples, see [JSON schema for tool calls](/automation/cron-jobs#json-schema-for-tool-calls).
|
||||
|
||||
## Where cron jobs are stored
|
||||
|
||||
Cron jobs are persisted on the Gateway host at `~/.openclaw/cron/jobs.json` by default.
|
||||
The Gateway loads the file into memory and writes it back on changes, so manual edits
|
||||
are only safe when the Gateway is stopped. Prefer `openclaw cron add/edit` or the cron
|
||||
tool call API for changes.
|
||||
|
||||
## Beginner-friendly overview
|
||||
|
||||
Think of a cron job as: **when** to run + **what** to do.
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Choose a schedule**
|
||||
- One-shot reminder → `schedule.kind = "at"` (CLI: `--at`)
|
||||
- Repeating job → `schedule.kind = "every"` or `schedule.kind = "cron"`
|
||||
- If your ISO timestamp omits a timezone, it is treated as **UTC**.
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Choose where it runs**
|
||||
- `sessionTarget: "main"` → run during the next heartbeat with main context.
|
||||
- `sessionTarget: "isolated"` → run a dedicated agent turn in `cron:<jobId>`.
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Choose the payload**
|
||||
- Main session → `payload.kind = "systemEvent"`
|
||||
- Isolated session → `payload.kind = "agentTurn"`
|
||||
|
||||
Optional: one-shot jobs (`schedule.kind = "at"`) delete after success by default. Set
|
||||
`deleteAfterRun: false` to keep them (they will disable after success).
|
||||
|
||||
## Concepts
|
||||
|
||||
### Jobs
|
||||
|
||||
A cron job is a stored record with:
|
||||
|
||||
- a **schedule** (when it should run),
|
||||
- a **payload** (what it should do),
|
||||
- optional **delivery mode** (announce or none).
|
||||
- optional **agent binding** (`agentId`): run the job under a specific agent; if
|
||||
missing or unknown, the gateway falls back to the default agent.
|
||||
|
||||
Jobs are identified by a stable `jobId` (used by CLI/Gateway APIs).
|
||||
In agent tool calls, `jobId` is canonical; legacy `id` is accepted for compatibility.
|
||||
One-shot jobs auto-delete after success by default; set `deleteAfterRun: false` to keep them.
|
||||
|
||||
### Schedules
|
||||
|
||||
Cron supports three schedule kinds:
|
||||
|
||||
- `at`: one-shot timestamp via `schedule.at` (ISO 8601).
|
||||
- `every`: fixed interval (ms).
|
||||
- `cron`: 5-field cron expression with optional IANA timezone.
|
||||
|
||||
Cron expressions use `croner`. If a timezone is omitted, the Gateway host’s
|
||||
local timezone is used.
|
||||
|
||||
### Main vs isolated execution
|
||||
|
||||
#### Main session jobs (system events)
|
||||
|
||||
Main jobs enqueue a system event and optionally wake the heartbeat runner.
|
||||
They must use `payload.kind = "systemEvent"`.
|
||||
|
||||
- `wakeMode: "next-heartbeat"` (default): event waits for the next scheduled heartbeat.
|
||||
- `wakeMode: "now"`: event triggers an immediate heartbeat run.
|
||||
|
||||
This is the best fit when you want the normal heartbeat prompt + main-session context.
|
||||
See [Heartbeat](/gateway/heartbeat).
|
||||
|
||||
#### Isolated jobs (dedicated cron sessions)
|
||||
|
||||
Isolated jobs run a dedicated agent turn in session `cron:<jobId>`.
|
||||
|
||||
Key behaviors:
|
||||
|
||||
- Prompt is prefixed with `[cron:<jobId> <job name>]` for traceability.
|
||||
- Each run starts a **fresh session id** (no prior conversation carry-over).
|
||||
- Default behavior: if `delivery` is omitted, isolated jobs announce a summary (`delivery.mode = "announce"`).
|
||||
- `delivery.mode` (isolated-only) chooses what happens:
|
||||
- `announce`: deliver a summary to the target channel and post a brief summary to the main session.
|
||||
- `none`: internal only (no delivery, no main-session summary).
|
||||
- `wakeMode` controls when the main-session summary posts:
|
||||
- `now`: immediate heartbeat.
|
||||
- `next-heartbeat`: waits for the next scheduled heartbeat.
|
||||
|
||||
Use isolated jobs for noisy, frequent, or "background chores" that shouldn't spam
|
||||
your main chat history.
|
||||
|
||||
### Payload shapes (what runs)
|
||||
|
||||
Two payload kinds are supported:
|
||||
|
||||
- `systemEvent`: main-session only, routed through the heartbeat prompt.
|
||||
- `agentTurn`: isolated-session only, runs a dedicated agent turn.
|
||||
|
||||
Common `agentTurn` fields:
|
||||
|
||||
- `message`: required text prompt.
|
||||
- `model` / `thinking`: optional overrides (see below).
|
||||
- `timeoutSeconds`: optional timeout override.
|
||||
|
||||
Delivery config (isolated jobs only):
|
||||
|
||||
- `delivery.mode`: `none` | `announce`.
|
||||
- `delivery.channel`: `last` or a specific channel.
|
||||
- `delivery.to`: channel-specific target (phone/chat/channel id).
|
||||
- `delivery.bestEffort`: avoid failing the job if announce delivery fails.
|
||||
|
||||
Announce delivery suppresses messaging tool sends for the run; use `delivery.channel`/`delivery.to`
|
||||
to target the chat instead. When `delivery.mode = "none"`, no summary is posted to the main session.
|
||||
|
||||
If `delivery` is omitted for isolated jobs, OpenClaw defaults to `announce`.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Announce delivery flow
|
||||
|
||||
When `delivery.mode = "announce"`, cron delivers directly via the outbound channel adapters.
|
||||
The main agent is not spun up to craft or forward the message.
|
||||
|
||||
Behavior details:
|
||||
|
||||
- Content: delivery uses the isolated run's outbound payloads (text/media) with normal chunking and
|
||||
channel formatting.
|
||||
- Heartbeat-only responses (`HEARTBEAT_OK` with no real content) are not delivered.
|
||||
- If the isolated run already sent a message to the same target via the message tool, delivery is
|
||||
skipped to avoid duplicates.
|
||||
- Missing or invalid delivery targets fail the job unless `delivery.bestEffort = true`.
|
||||
- A short summary is posted to the main session only when `delivery.mode = "announce"`.
|
||||
- The main-session summary respects `wakeMode`: `now` triggers an immediate heartbeat and
|
||||
`next-heartbeat` waits for the next scheduled heartbeat.
|
||||
|
||||
### Model and thinking overrides
|
||||
|
||||
Isolated jobs (`agentTurn`) can override the model and thinking level:
|
||||
|
||||
- `model`: Provider/model string (e.g., `anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-20250514`) or alias (e.g., `opus`)
|
||||
- `thinking`: Thinking level (`off`, `minimal`, `low`, `medium`, `high`, `xhigh`; GPT-5.2 + Codex models only)
|
||||
|
||||
Note: You can set `model` on main-session jobs too, but it changes the shared main
|
||||
session model. We recommend model overrides only for isolated jobs to avoid
|
||||
unexpected context shifts.
|
||||
|
||||
Resolution priority:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Job payload override (highest)
|
||||
2. Hook-specific defaults (e.g., `hooks.gmail.model`)
|
||||
3. Agent config default
|
||||
|
||||
### Delivery (channel + target)
|
||||
|
||||
Isolated jobs can deliver output to a channel via the top-level `delivery` config:
|
||||
|
||||
- `delivery.mode`: `announce` (deliver a summary) or `none`.
|
||||
- `delivery.channel`: `whatsapp` / `telegram` / `discord` / `slack` / `mattermost` (plugin) / `signal` / `imessage` / `last`.
|
||||
- `delivery.to`: channel-specific recipient target.
|
||||
|
||||
Delivery config is only valid for isolated jobs (`sessionTarget: "isolated"`).
|
||||
|
||||
If `delivery.channel` or `delivery.to` is omitted, cron can fall back to the main session’s
|
||||
“last route” (the last place the agent replied).
|
||||
|
||||
Target format reminders:
|
||||
|
||||
- Slack/Discord/Mattermost (plugin) targets should use explicit prefixes (e.g. `channel:<id>`, `user:<id>`) to avoid ambiguity.
|
||||
- Telegram topics should use the `:topic:` form (see below).
|
||||
|
||||
#### Telegram delivery targets (topics / forum threads)
|
||||
|
||||
Telegram supports forum topics via `message_thread_id`. For cron delivery, you can encode
|
||||
the topic/thread into the `to` field:
|
||||
|
||||
- `-1001234567890` (chat id only)
|
||||
- `-1001234567890:topic:123` (preferred: explicit topic marker)
|
||||
- `-1001234567890:123` (shorthand: numeric suffix)
|
||||
|
||||
Prefixed targets like `telegram:...` / `telegram:group:...` are also accepted:
|
||||
|
||||
- `telegram:group:-1001234567890:topic:123`
|
||||
|
||||
## JSON schema for tool calls
|
||||
|
||||
Use these shapes when calling Gateway `cron.*` tools directly (agent tool calls or RPC).
|
||||
CLI flags accept human durations like `20m`, but tool calls should use an ISO 8601 string
|
||||
for `schedule.at` and milliseconds for `schedule.everyMs`.
|
||||
|
||||
### cron.add params
|
||||
|
||||
One-shot, main session job (system event):
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"name": "Reminder",
|
||||
"schedule": { "kind": "at", "at": "2026-02-01T16:00:00Z" },
|
||||
"sessionTarget": "main",
|
||||
"wakeMode": "now",
|
||||
"payload": { "kind": "systemEvent", "text": "Reminder text" },
|
||||
"deleteAfterRun": true
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Recurring, isolated job with delivery:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"name": "Morning brief",
|
||||
"schedule": { "kind": "cron", "expr": "0 7 * * *", "tz": "America/Los_Angeles" },
|
||||
"sessionTarget": "isolated",
|
||||
"wakeMode": "next-heartbeat",
|
||||
"payload": {
|
||||
"kind": "agentTurn",
|
||||
"message": "Summarize overnight updates."
|
||||
},
|
||||
"delivery": {
|
||||
"mode": "announce",
|
||||
"channel": "slack",
|
||||
"to": "channel:C1234567890",
|
||||
"bestEffort": true
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Notes:
|
||||
|
||||
- `schedule.kind`: `at` (`at`), `every` (`everyMs`), or `cron` (`expr`, optional `tz`).
|
||||
- `schedule.at` accepts ISO 8601 (timezone optional; treated as UTC when omitted).
|
||||
- `everyMs` is milliseconds.
|
||||
- `sessionTarget` must be `"main"` or `"isolated"` and must match `payload.kind`.
|
||||
- Optional fields: `agentId`, `description`, `enabled`, `deleteAfterRun` (defaults to true for `at`),
|
||||
`delivery`.
|
||||
- `wakeMode` defaults to `"next-heartbeat"` when omitted.
|
||||
|
||||
### cron.update params
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"jobId": "job-123",
|
||||
"patch": {
|
||||
"enabled": false,
|
||||
"schedule": { "kind": "every", "everyMs": 3600000 }
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Notes:
|
||||
|
||||
- `jobId` is canonical; `id` is accepted for compatibility.
|
||||
- Use `agentId: null` in the patch to clear an agent binding.
|
||||
|
||||
### cron.run and cron.remove params
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{ "jobId": "job-123", "mode": "force" }
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{ "jobId": "job-123" }
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Storage & history
|
||||
|
||||
- Job store: `~/.openclaw/cron/jobs.json` (Gateway-managed JSON).
|
||||
- Run history: `~/.openclaw/cron/runs/<jobId>.jsonl` (JSONL, auto-pruned).
|
||||
- Override store path: `cron.store` in config.
|
||||
|
||||
## Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
cron: {
|
||||
enabled: true, // default true
|
||||
store: "~/.openclaw/cron/jobs.json",
|
||||
maxConcurrentRuns: 1, // default 1
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Disable cron entirely:
|
||||
|
||||
- `cron.enabled: false` (config)
|
||||
- `OPENCLAW_SKIP_CRON=1` (env)
|
||||
|
||||
## CLI quickstart
|
||||
|
||||
One-shot reminder (UTC ISO, auto-delete after success):
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw cron add \
|
||||
--name "Send reminder" \
|
||||
--at "2026-01-12T18:00:00Z" \
|
||||
--session main \
|
||||
--system-event "Reminder: submit expense report." \
|
||||
--wake now \
|
||||
--delete-after-run
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
One-shot reminder (main session, wake immediately):
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw cron add \
|
||||
--name "Calendar check" \
|
||||
--at "20m" \
|
||||
--session main \
|
||||
--system-event "Next heartbeat: check calendar." \
|
||||
--wake now
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Recurring isolated job (announce to WhatsApp):
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw cron add \
|
||||
--name "Morning status" \
|
||||
--cron "0 7 * * *" \
|
||||
--tz "America/Los_Angeles" \
|
||||
--session isolated \
|
||||
--message "Summarize inbox + calendar for today." \
|
||||
--announce \
|
||||
--channel whatsapp \
|
||||
--to "+15551234567"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Recurring isolated job (deliver to a Telegram topic):
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw cron add \
|
||||
--name "Nightly summary (topic)" \
|
||||
--cron "0 22 * * *" \
|
||||
--tz "America/Los_Angeles" \
|
||||
--session isolated \
|
||||
--message "Summarize today; send to the nightly topic." \
|
||||
--announce \
|
||||
--channel telegram \
|
||||
--to "-1001234567890:topic:123"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Isolated job with model and thinking override:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw cron add \
|
||||
--name "Deep analysis" \
|
||||
--cron "0 6 * * 1" \
|
||||
--tz "America/Los_Angeles" \
|
||||
--session isolated \
|
||||
--message "Weekly deep analysis of project progress." \
|
||||
--model "opus" \
|
||||
--thinking high \
|
||||
--announce \
|
||||
--channel whatsapp \
|
||||
--to "+15551234567"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Agent selection (multi-agent setups):
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Pin a job to agent "ops" (falls back to default if that agent is missing)
|
||||
openclaw cron add --name "Ops sweep" --cron "0 6 * * *" --session isolated --message "Check ops queue" --agent ops
|
||||
|
||||
# Switch or clear the agent on an existing job
|
||||
openclaw cron edit <jobId> --agent ops
|
||||
openclaw cron edit <jobId> --clear-agent
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Manual run (debug):
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw cron run <jobId> --force
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Edit an existing job (patch fields):
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw cron edit <jobId> \
|
||||
--message "Updated prompt" \
|
||||
--model "opus" \
|
||||
--thinking low
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Run history:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw cron runs --id <jobId> --limit 50
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Immediate system event without creating a job:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw system event --mode now --text "Next heartbeat: check battery."
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Gateway API surface
|
||||
|
||||
- `cron.list`, `cron.status`, `cron.add`, `cron.update`, `cron.remove`
|
||||
- `cron.run` (force or due), `cron.runs`
|
||||
For immediate system events without a job, use [`openclaw system event`](/cli/system).
|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
### “Nothing runs”
|
||||
|
||||
- Check cron is enabled: `cron.enabled` and `OPENCLAW_SKIP_CRON`.
|
||||
- Check the Gateway is running continuously (cron runs inside the Gateway process).
|
||||
- For `cron` schedules: confirm timezone (`--tz`) vs the host timezone.
|
||||
|
||||
### Telegram delivers to the wrong place
|
||||
|
||||
- For forum topics, use `-100…:topic:<id>` so it’s explicit and unambiguous.
|
||||
- If you see `telegram:...` prefixes in logs or stored “last route” targets, that’s normal;
|
||||
cron delivery accepts them and still parses topic IDs correctly.

# Cron vs Heartbeat: When to Use Each
|
||||
|
||||
Both heartbeats and cron jobs let you run tasks on a schedule. This guide helps you choose the right mechanism for your use case.
|
||||
|
||||
## Quick Decision Guide
|
||||
|
||||
| Use Case | Recommended | Why |
|
||||
| ------------------------------------ | ------------------- | ---------------------------------------- |
|
||||
| Check inbox every 30 min | Heartbeat | Batches with other checks, context-aware |
|
||||
| Send daily report at 9am sharp | Cron (isolated) | Exact timing needed |
|
||||
| Monitor calendar for upcoming events | Heartbeat | Natural fit for periodic awareness |
|
||||
| Run weekly deep analysis | Cron (isolated) | Standalone task, can use different model |
|
||||
| Remind me in 20 minutes | Cron (main, `--at`) | One-shot with precise timing |
|
||||
| Background project health check | Heartbeat | Piggybacks on existing cycle |
|
||||
|
||||
## Heartbeat: Periodic Awareness
|
||||
|
||||
Heartbeats run in the **main session** at a regular interval (default: 30 min). They're designed for the agent to check on things and surface anything important.
|
||||
|
||||
### When to use heartbeat
|
||||
|
||||
- **Multiple periodic checks**: Instead of 5 separate cron jobs checking inbox, calendar, weather, notifications, and project status, a single heartbeat can batch all of these.
|
||||
- **Context-aware decisions**: The agent has full main-session context, so it can make smart decisions about what's urgent vs. what can wait.
|
||||
- **Conversational continuity**: Heartbeat runs share the same session, so the agent remembers recent conversations and can follow up naturally.
|
||||
- **Low-overhead monitoring**: One heartbeat replaces many small polling tasks.
|
||||
|
||||
### Heartbeat advantages
|
||||
|
||||
- **Batches multiple checks**: One agent turn can review inbox, calendar, and notifications together.
|
||||
- **Reduces API calls**: A single heartbeat is cheaper than 5 isolated cron jobs.
|
||||
- **Context-aware**: The agent knows what you've been working on and can prioritize accordingly.
|
||||
- **Smart suppression**: If nothing needs attention, the agent replies `HEARTBEAT_OK` and no message is delivered.
|
||||
- **Natural timing**: Drifts slightly based on queue load, which is fine for most monitoring.
|
||||
|
||||
### Heartbeat example: HEARTBEAT.md checklist
|
||||
|
||||
```md
|
||||
# Heartbeat checklist
|
||||
|
||||
- Check email for urgent messages
|
||||
- Review calendar for events in next 2 hours
|
||||
- If a background task finished, summarize results
|
||||
- If idle for 8+ hours, send a brief check-in
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The agent reads this on each heartbeat and handles all items in one turn.
|
||||
|
||||
### Configuring heartbeat
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
agents: {
|
||||
defaults: {
|
||||
heartbeat: {
|
||||
every: "30m", // interval
|
||||
target: "last", // where to deliver alerts

activeHours: { start: "08:00", end: "22:00" }, // optional
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Cron: Precise Scheduling
|
||||
|
||||
Cron jobs run at **exact times** and can run in isolated sessions without affecting main context.
|
||||
|
||||
### When to use cron
|
||||
|
||||
- **Exact timing required**: "Send this at 9:00 AM every Monday" (not "sometime around 9").
|
||||
- **Standalone tasks**: Tasks that don't need conversational context.
|
||||
- **Different model/thinking**: Heavy analysis that warrants a more powerful model.
|
||||
- **One-shot reminders**: "Remind me in 20 minutes" with `--at`.
|
||||
- **Noisy/frequent tasks**: Tasks that would clutter main session history.
|
||||
- **External triggers**: Tasks that should run independently of whether the agent is otherwise active.
|
||||
|
||||
### Cron advantages
|
||||
|
||||
- **Exact timing**: 5-field cron expressions with timezone support.
|
||||
- **Session isolation**: Runs in `cron:<jobId>` without polluting main history.
|
||||
- **Model overrides**: Use a cheaper or more powerful model per job.
|
||||
- **Delivery control**: Isolated jobs default to `announce` (summary); choose `none` as needed.
|
||||
- **Immediate delivery**: Announce mode posts directly without waiting for heartbeat.
|
||||
- **No agent context needed**: Runs even if main session is idle or compacted.
|
||||
- **One-shot support**: `--at` for precise future timestamps.
|
||||
|
||||
### Cron example: Daily morning briefing
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw cron add \
|
||||
--name "Morning briefing" \
|
||||
--cron "0 7 * * *" \
|
||||
--tz "America/New_York" \
|
||||
--session isolated \
|
||||
--message "Generate today's briefing: weather, calendar, top emails, news summary." \
|
||||
--model opus \
|
||||
--announce \
|
||||
--channel whatsapp \
|
||||
--to "+15551234567"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This runs at exactly 7:00 AM New York time, uses Opus for quality, and announces a summary directly to WhatsApp.
|
||||
|
||||
### Cron example: One-shot reminder
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw cron add \
|
||||
--name "Meeting reminder" \
|
||||
--at "20m" \
|
||||
--session main \
|
||||
--system-event "Reminder: standup meeting starts in 10 minutes." \
|
||||
--wake now \
|
||||
--delete-after-run
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
See [Cron jobs](/automation/cron-jobs) for full CLI reference.
|
||||
|
||||
## Decision Flowchart
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Does the task need to run at an EXACT time?
|
||||
YES -> Use cron
|
||||
NO -> Continue...
|
||||
|
||||
Does the task need isolation from main session?
|
||||
YES -> Use cron (isolated)
|
||||
NO -> Continue...
|
||||
|
||||
Can this task be batched with other periodic checks?
|
||||
YES -> Use heartbeat (add to HEARTBEAT.md)
|
||||
NO -> Use cron
|
||||
|
||||
Is this a one-shot reminder?
|
||||
YES -> Use cron with --at
|
||||
NO -> Continue...
|
||||
|
||||
Does it need a different model or thinking level?
|
||||
YES -> Use cron (isolated) with --model/--thinking
|
||||
NO -> Use heartbeat
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Combining Both
|
||||
|
||||
The most efficient setup uses **both**:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Heartbeat** handles routine monitoring (inbox, calendar, notifications) in one batched turn every 30 minutes.
|
||||
2. **Cron** handles precise schedules (daily reports, weekly reviews) and one-shot reminders.
|
||||
|
||||
### Example: Efficient automation setup
|
||||
|
||||
**HEARTBEAT.md** (checked every 30 min):
|
||||
|
||||
```md
|
||||
# Heartbeat checklist
|
||||
|
||||
- Scan inbox for urgent emails
|
||||
- Check calendar for events in next 2h
|
||||
- Review any pending tasks
|
||||
- Light check-in if quiet for 8+ hours
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Cron jobs** (precise timing):
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Daily morning briefing at 7am
|
||||
openclaw cron add --name "Morning brief" --cron "0 7 * * *" --session isolated --message "..." --announce
|
||||
|
||||
# Weekly project review on Mondays at 9am
|
||||
openclaw cron add --name "Weekly review" --cron "0 9 * * 1" --session isolated --message "..." --model opus
|
||||
|
||||
# One-shot reminder
|
||||
openclaw cron add --name "Call back" --at "2h" --session main --system-event "Call back the client" --wake now
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Lobster: Deterministic workflows with approvals
|
||||
|
||||
Lobster is the workflow runtime for **multi-step tool pipelines** that need deterministic execution and explicit approvals.
|
||||
Use it when the task is more than a single agent turn, and you want a resumable workflow with human checkpoints.
|
||||
|
||||
### When Lobster fits
|
||||
|
||||
- **Multi-step automation**: You need a fixed pipeline of tool calls, not a one-off prompt.
|
||||
- **Approval gates**: Side effects should pause until you approve, then resume.
|
||||
- **Resumable runs**: Continue a paused workflow without re-running earlier steps.
|
||||
|
||||
### How it pairs with heartbeat and cron
|
||||
|
||||
- **Heartbeat/cron** decide _when_ a run happens.
|
||||
- **Lobster** defines _what steps_ happen once the run starts.
|
||||
|
||||
For scheduled workflows, use cron or heartbeat to trigger an agent turn that calls Lobster.
|
||||
For ad-hoc workflows, call Lobster directly.
|
||||
|
||||
### Operational notes (from the code)
|
||||
|
||||
- Lobster runs as a **local subprocess** (`lobster` CLI) in tool mode and returns a **JSON envelope**.
|
||||
- If the tool returns `needs_approval`, you resume with a `resumeToken` and `approve` flag.
|
||||
- The tool is an **optional plugin**; enable it additively via `tools.alsoAllow: ["lobster"]` (recommended).
|
||||
- If you pass `lobsterPath`, it must be an **absolute path**.
|
||||
|
||||
See [Lobster](/tools/lobster) for full usage and examples.
|
||||
|
||||
## Main Session vs Isolated Session
|
||||
|
||||
Both heartbeat and cron can interact with the main session, but differently:
|
||||
|
||||
| | Heartbeat | Cron (main) | Cron (isolated) |
|
||||
| ------- | ------------------------------- | ------------------------ | -------------------------- |
|
||||
| Session | Main | Main (via system event) | `cron:<jobId>` |
|
||||
| History | Shared | Shared | Fresh each run |
|
||||
| Context | Full | Full | None (starts clean) |
|
||||
| Model | Main session model | Main session model | Can override |
|
||||
| Output | Delivered if not `HEARTBEAT_OK` | Heartbeat prompt + event | Announce summary (default) |
|
||||
|
||||
### When to use main session cron
|
||||
|
||||
Use `--session main` with `--system-event` when you want:
|
||||
|
||||
- The reminder/event to appear in main session context
|
||||
- The agent to handle it during the next heartbeat with full context
|
||||
- No separate isolated run
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw cron add \
|
||||
--name "Check project" \
|
||||
--every "4h" \
|
||||
--session main \
|
||||
--system-event "Time for a project health check" \
|
||||
--wake now
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### When to use isolated cron
|
||||
|
||||
Use `--session isolated` when you want:
|
||||
|
||||
- A clean slate without prior context
|
||||
- Different model or thinking settings
|
||||
- Announce summaries directly to a channel
|
||||
- History that doesn't clutter main session
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw cron add \
|
||||
--name "Deep analysis" \
|
||||
--cron "0 6 * * 0" \
|
||||
--session isolated \
|
||||
--message "Weekly codebase analysis..." \
|
||||
--model opus \
|
||||
--thinking high \
|
||||
--announce
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Cost Considerations
|
||||
|
||||
| Mechanism | Cost Profile |
|
||||
| --------------- | ------------------------------------------------------- |
|
||||
| Heartbeat | One turn every N minutes; scales with HEARTBEAT.md size |
|
||||
| Cron (main) | Adds event to next heartbeat (no isolated turn) |
|
||||
| Cron (isolated) | Full agent turn per job; can use cheaper model |
|
||||
|
||||
**Tips**:
|
||||
|
||||
- Keep `HEARTBEAT.md` small to minimize token overhead.
|
||||
- Batch similar checks into heartbeat instead of multiple cron jobs.
|
||||
- Use `target: "none"` on heartbeat if you only want internal processing.
|
||||
- Use isolated cron with a cheaper model for routine tasks.

# Gmail Pub/Sub -> OpenClaw
|
||||
|
||||
Goal: Gmail watch -> Pub/Sub push -> `gog gmail watch serve` -> OpenClaw webhook.
|
||||
|
||||
## Prereqs
|
||||
|
||||
- `gcloud` installed and logged in ([install guide](https://docs.cloud.google.com/sdk/docs/install-sdk)).
|
||||
- `gog` (gogcli) installed and authorized for the Gmail account ([gogcli.sh](https://gogcli.sh/)).
|
||||
- OpenClaw hooks enabled (see [Webhooks](/automation/webhook)).
|
||||
- `tailscale` logged in ([tailscale.com](https://tailscale.com/)). Supported setup uses Tailscale Funnel for the public HTTPS endpoint.
|
||||
Other tunnel services can work, but are DIY/unsupported and require manual wiring.
|
||||
Right now, Tailscale is what we support.
|
||||
|
||||
Example hook config (enable Gmail preset mapping):
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
hooks: {
|
||||
enabled: true,
|
||||
token: "OPENCLAW_HOOK_TOKEN",
|
||||
path: "/hooks",
|
||||
presets: ["gmail"],
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
To deliver the Gmail summary to a chat surface, override the preset with a mapping
|
||||
that sets `deliver` + optional `channel`/`to`:
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
hooks: {
|
||||
enabled: true,
|
||||
token: "OPENCLAW_HOOK_TOKEN",
|
||||
presets: ["gmail"],
|
||||
mappings: [
|
||||
{
|
||||
match: { path: "gmail" },
|
||||
action: "agent",
|
||||
wakeMode: "now",
|
||||
name: "Gmail",
|
||||
sessionKey: "hook:gmail:{{messages[0].id}}",
|
||||
messageTemplate: "New email from {{messages[0].from}}\nSubject: {{messages[0].subject}}\n{{messages[0].snippet}}\n{{messages[0].body}}",
|
||||
model: "openai/gpt-5.2-mini",
|
||||
deliver: true,
|
||||
channel: "last",
|
||||
// to: "+15551234567"
|
||||
},
|
||||
],
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If you want a fixed channel, set `channel` + `to`. Otherwise `channel: "last"`
|
||||
uses the last delivery route (falls back to WhatsApp).
|
||||
|
||||
To force a cheaper model for Gmail runs, set `model` in the mapping
|
||||
(`provider/model` or alias). If you enforce `agents.defaults.models`, include it there.
|
||||
|
||||
To set a default model and thinking level specifically for Gmail hooks, add
|
||||
`hooks.gmail.model` / `hooks.gmail.thinking` in your config:
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
hooks: {
|
||||
gmail: {
|
||||
model: "openrouter/meta-llama/llama-3.3-70b-instruct:free",
|
||||
thinking: "off",
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Notes:
|
||||
|
||||
- Per-hook `model`/`thinking` in the mapping still overrides these defaults.
|
||||
- Fallback order: `hooks.gmail.model` → `agents.defaults.model.fallbacks` → primary (auth/rate-limit/timeouts).
|
||||
- If `agents.defaults.models` is set, the Gmail model must be in the allowlist.
|
||||
- Gmail hook content is wrapped with external-content safety boundaries by default.
|
||||
To disable (dangerous), set `hooks.gmail.allowUnsafeExternalContent: true`.
|
||||
|
||||
To customize payload handling further, add `hooks.mappings` or a JS/TS transform module
|
||||
under `hooks.transformsDir` (see [Webhooks](/automation/webhook)).
|
||||
|
||||
## Wizard (recommended)
|
||||
|
||||
Use the OpenClaw helper to wire everything together (installs deps on macOS via brew):
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw webhooks gmail setup \
|
||||
--account openclaw@gmail.com
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Defaults:
|
||||
|
||||
- Uses Tailscale Funnel for the public push endpoint.
|
||||
- Writes `hooks.gmail` config for `openclaw webhooks gmail run`.
|
||||
- Enables the Gmail hook preset (`hooks.presets: ["gmail"]`).
|
||||
|
||||
Path note: when `tailscale.mode` is enabled, OpenClaw automatically sets
|
||||
`hooks.gmail.serve.path` to `/` and keeps the public path at
|
||||
`hooks.gmail.tailscale.path` (default `/gmail-pubsub`) because Tailscale
|
||||
strips the set-path prefix before proxying.
|
||||
If you need the backend to receive the prefixed path, set
|
||||
`hooks.gmail.tailscale.target` (or `--tailscale-target`) to a full URL like
|
||||
`http://127.0.0.1:8788/gmail-pubsub` and match `hooks.gmail.serve.path`.
|
||||
|
||||
Want a custom endpoint? Use `--push-endpoint <url>` or `--tailscale off`.
|
||||
|
||||
Platform note: on macOS the wizard installs `gcloud`, `gogcli`, and `tailscale`
|
||||
via Homebrew; on Linux install them manually first.
|
||||
|
||||
Gateway auto-start (recommended):
|
||||
|
||||
- When `hooks.enabled=true` and `hooks.gmail.account` is set, the Gateway starts
|
||||
`gog gmail watch serve` on boot and auto-renews the watch.
|
||||
- Set `OPENCLAW_SKIP_GMAIL_WATCHER=1` to opt out (useful if you run the daemon yourself).
|
||||
- Do not run the manual daemon at the same time, or you will hit
|
||||
`listen tcp 127.0.0.1:8788: bind: address already in use`.
|
||||
|
||||
Manual daemon (starts `gog gmail watch serve` + auto-renew):
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw webhooks gmail run
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## One-time setup
|
||||
|
||||
1. Select the GCP project **that owns the OAuth client** used by `gog`.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
gcloud auth login
|
||||
gcloud config set project <project-id>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Note: Gmail watch requires the Pub/Sub topic to live in the same project as the OAuth client.
|
||||
|
||||
2. Enable APIs:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
gcloud services enable gmail.googleapis.com pubsub.googleapis.com
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
3. Create a topic:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
gcloud pubsub topics create gog-gmail-watch
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
4. Allow Gmail push to publish:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
gcloud pubsub topics add-iam-policy-binding gog-gmail-watch \
|
||||
--member=serviceAccount:gmail-api-push@system.gserviceaccount.com \
|
||||
--role=roles/pubsub.publisher
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Start the watch
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
gog gmail watch start \
|
||||
--account openclaw@gmail.com \
|
||||
--label INBOX \
|
||||
--topic projects/<project-id>/topics/gog-gmail-watch
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Save the `history_id` from the output (for debugging).
|
||||
|
||||
## Run the push handler
|
||||
|
||||
Local example (shared token auth):
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
gog gmail watch serve \
|
||||
--account openclaw@gmail.com \
|
||||
--bind 127.0.0.1 \
|
||||
--port 8788 \
|
||||
--path /gmail-pubsub \
|
||||
--token <shared> \
|
||||
--hook-url http://127.0.0.1:18789/hooks/gmail \
|
||||
--hook-token OPENCLAW_HOOK_TOKEN \
|
||||
--include-body \
|
||||
--max-bytes 20000
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Notes:
|
||||
|
||||
- `--token` protects the push endpoint (`x-gog-token` or `?token=`).
|
||||
- `--hook-url` points to OpenClaw `/hooks/gmail` (mapped; isolated run + summary to main).
|
||||
- `--include-body` and `--max-bytes` control the body snippet sent to OpenClaw.
|
||||
|
||||
Recommended: `openclaw webhooks gmail run` wraps the same flow and auto-renews the watch.
|
||||
|
||||
## Expose the handler (advanced, unsupported)
|
||||
|
||||
If you need a non-Tailscale tunnel, wire it manually and use the public URL in the push
|
||||
subscription (unsupported, no guardrails):
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cloudflared tunnel --url http://127.0.0.1:8788 --no-autoupdate
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Use the generated URL as the push endpoint:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
gcloud pubsub subscriptions create gog-gmail-watch-push \
|
||||
--topic gog-gmail-watch \
|
||||
--push-endpoint "https://<public-url>/gmail-pubsub?token=<shared>"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Production: use a stable HTTPS endpoint and configure Pub/Sub OIDC JWT, then run:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
gog gmail watch serve --verify-oidc --oidc-email <svc@...>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Test
|
||||
|
||||
Send a message to the watched inbox:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
gog gmail send \
|
||||
--account openclaw@gmail.com \
|
||||
--to openclaw@gmail.com \
|
||||
--subject "watch test" \
|
||||
--body "ping"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Check watch state and history:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
gog gmail watch status --account openclaw@gmail.com
|
||||
gog gmail history --account openclaw@gmail.com --since <historyId>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
- `Invalid topicName`: project mismatch (topic not in the OAuth client project).
|
||||
- `User not authorized`: missing `roles/pubsub.publisher` on the topic.
|
||||
- Empty messages: Gmail push only provides `historyId`; fetch via `gog gmail history`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Cleanup
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
gog gmail watch stop --account openclaw@gmail.com
|
||||
gcloud pubsub subscriptions delete gog-gmail-watch-push
|
||||
gcloud pubsub topics delete gog-gmail-watch
|

|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Options:
|
||||
|
||||
- `--channel`: `whatsapp` (default), `discord`, or `msteams`
|
||||
- `--poll-multi`: allow selecting multiple options
|
||||
- `--poll-duration-hours`: Discord-only (defaults to 24 when omitted)
|
||||
|
||||
## Gateway RPC
|
||||
|
||||
Method: `poll`
|
||||
|
||||
Params:
|
||||
|
||||
- `to` (string, required)
|
||||
- `question` (string, required)
|
||||
- `options` (string[], required)
|
||||
- `maxSelections` (number, optional)
|
||||
- `durationHours` (number, optional)
|
||||
- `channel` (string, optional, default: `whatsapp`)
|
||||
- `idempotencyKey` (string, required)
|
||||
|
||||
## Channel differences
|
||||
|
||||
- WhatsApp: 2-12 options, `maxSelections` must be within option count, ignores `durationHours`.
|
||||
- Discord: 2-10 options, `durationHours` clamped to 1-768 hours (default 24). `maxSelections > 1` enables multi-select; Discord does not support a strict selection count.
|
||||
- MS Teams: Adaptive Card polls (OpenClaw-managed). No native poll API; `durationHours` is ignored.
|
||||
|
||||
## Agent tool (Message)
|
||||
|
||||
Use the `message` tool with `poll` action (`to`, `pollQuestion`, `pollOption`, optional `pollMulti`, `pollDurationHours`, `channel`).
|
||||
|
||||
Note: Discord has no “pick exactly N” mode; `pollMulti` maps to multi-select.
|
||||
Teams polls are rendered as Adaptive Cards and require the gateway to stay online
|
||||
to record votes in `~/.openclaw/msteams-polls.json`.

# Webhooks
|
||||
|
||||
Gateway can expose a small HTTP webhook endpoint for external triggers.
|
||||
|
||||
## Enable
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
hooks: {
|
||||
enabled: true,
|
||||
token: "shared-secret",
|
||||
path: "/hooks",
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Notes:
|
||||
|
||||
- `hooks.token` is required when `hooks.enabled=true`.
|
||||
- `hooks.path` defaults to `/hooks`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Auth
|
||||
|
||||
Every request must include the hook token. Prefer headers:
|
||||
|
||||
- `Authorization: Bearer <token>` (recommended)
|
||||
- `x-openclaw-token: <token>`
|
||||
- `?token=<token>` (deprecated; logs a warning and will be removed in a future major release)
|
||||
|
||||
## Endpoints
|
||||
|
||||
### `POST /hooks/wake`
|
||||
|
||||
Payload:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{ "text": "System line", "mode": "now" }
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
- `text` **required** (string): The description of the event (e.g., "New email received").
|
||||
- `mode` optional (`now` | `next-heartbeat`): Whether to trigger an immediate heartbeat (default `now`) or wait for the next periodic check.
|
||||
|
||||
Effect:
|
||||
|
||||
- Enqueues a system event for the **main** session
|
||||
- If `mode=now`, triggers an immediate heartbeat
|
||||
|
||||
### `POST /hooks/agent`
|
||||
|
||||
Payload:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"message": "Run this",
|
||||
"name": "Email",
|
||||
"sessionKey": "hook:email:msg-123",
|
||||
"wakeMode": "now",
|
||||
"deliver": true,
|
||||
"channel": "last",
|
||||
"to": "+15551234567",
|
||||
"model": "openai/gpt-5.2-mini",
|
||||
"thinking": "low",
|
||||
"timeoutSeconds": 120
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
- `message` **required** (string): The prompt or message for the agent to process.
|
||||
- `name` optional (string): Human-readable name for the hook (e.g., "GitHub"), used as a prefix in session summaries.
|
||||
- `sessionKey` optional (string): The key used to identify the agent's session. Defaults to a random `hook:<uuid>`. Using a consistent key allows for a multi-turn conversation within the hook context.
|
||||
- `wakeMode` optional (`now` | `next-heartbeat`): Whether to trigger an immediate heartbeat (default `now`) or wait for the next periodic check.
|
||||
- `deliver` optional (boolean): If `true`, the agent's response will be sent to the messaging channel. Defaults to `true`. Responses that are only heartbeat acknowledgments are automatically skipped.
|
||||
- `channel` optional (string): The messaging channel for delivery. One of: `last`, `whatsapp`, `telegram`, `discord`, `slack`, `mattermost` (plugin), `signal`, `imessage`, `msteams`. Defaults to `last`.
|
||||
- `to` optional (string): The recipient identifier for the channel (e.g., phone number for WhatsApp/Signal, chat ID for Telegram, channel ID for Discord/Slack/Mattermost (plugin), conversation ID for MS Teams). Defaults to the last recipient in the main session.
|
||||
- `model` optional (string): Model override (e.g., `anthropic/claude-3-5-sonnet` or an alias). Must be in the allowed model list if restricted.
|
||||
- `thinking` optional (string): Thinking level override (e.g., `low`, `medium`, `high`).
|
||||
- `timeoutSeconds` optional (number): Maximum duration for the agent run in seconds.
|
||||
|
||||
Effect:
|
||||
|
||||
- Runs an **isolated** agent turn (own session key)
|
||||
- Always posts a summary into the **main** session
|
||||
- If `wakeMode=now`, triggers an immediate heartbeat
|
||||
|
||||
### `POST /hooks/<name>` (mapped)
|
||||
|
||||
Custom hook names are resolved via `hooks.mappings` (see configuration). A mapping can
|
||||
turn arbitrary payloads into `wake` or `agent` actions, with optional templates or
|
||||
code transforms.
|
||||
|
||||
Mapping options (summary):
|
||||
|
||||
- `hooks.presets: ["gmail"]` enables the built-in Gmail mapping.
|
||||
- `hooks.mappings` lets you define `match`, `action`, and templates in config.
|
||||
- `hooks.transformsDir` + `transform.module` loads a JS/TS module for custom logic.
|
||||
- Use `match.source` to keep a generic ingest endpoint (payload-driven routing).
|
||||
- TS transforms require a TS loader (e.g. `bun` or `tsx`) or precompiled `.js` at runtime.
|
||||
- Set `deliver: true` + `channel`/`to` on mappings to route replies to a chat surface
|
||||
(`channel` defaults to `last` and falls back to WhatsApp).
|
||||
- `allowUnsafeExternalContent: true` disables the external content safety wrapper for that hook
|
||||
(dangerous; only for trusted internal sources).
|
||||
- `openclaw webhooks gmail setup` writes `hooks.gmail` config for `openclaw webhooks gmail run`.
|
||||
See [Gmail Pub/Sub](/automation/gmail-pubsub) for the full Gmail watch flow.
|
||||
|
||||
## Responses
|
||||
|
||||
- `200` for `/hooks/wake`
|
||||
- `202` for `/hooks/agent` (async run started)
|
||||
- `401` on auth failure
|
||||
- `400` on invalid payload
|
||||
- `413` on oversized payloads
|
||||
|
||||
## Examples
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:18789/hooks/wake \
|
||||
-H 'Authorization: Bearer SECRET' \
|
||||
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
|
||||
-d '{"text":"New email received","mode":"now"}'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:18789/hooks/agent \
|
||||
-H 'x-openclaw-token: SECRET' \
|
||||
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
|
||||
-d '{"message":"Summarize inbox","name":"Email","wakeMode":"next-heartbeat"}'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Use a different model
|
||||
|
||||
Add `model` to the agent payload (or mapping) to override the model for that run:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:18789/hooks/agent \
|
||||
-H 'x-openclaw-token: SECRET' \
|
||||
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
|
||||
-d '{"message":"Summarize inbox","name":"Email","model":"openai/gpt-5.2-mini"}'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If you enforce `agents.defaults.models`, make sure the override model is included there.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:18789/hooks/gmail \
|
||||
-H 'Authorization: Bearer SECRET' \
|
||||
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
|
||||
-d '{"source":"gmail","messages":[{"from":"Ada","subject":"Hello","snippet":"Hi"}]}'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Security
|
||||
|
||||
- Keep hook endpoints behind loopback, tailnet, or trusted reverse proxy.
|
||||
- Use a dedicated hook token; do not reuse gateway auth tokens.
|
||||
- Avoid including sensitive raw payloads in webhook logs.
|
||||
- Hook payloads are treated as untrusted and wrapped with safety boundaries by default.
|
||||
If you must disable this for a specific hook, set `allowUnsafeExternalContent: true`
|
||||
in that hook's mapping (dangerous).

summary: "Use Amazon Bedrock (Converse API) models with OpenClaw"
|
||||
read_when:
|
||||
- You want to use Amazon Bedrock models with OpenClaw
|
||||
- You need AWS credential/region setup for model calls
|

title: "Amazon Bedrock"

|
||||
|
||||
# Amazon Bedrock
|
||||
|
||||
OpenClaw can use **Amazon Bedrock** models via pi‑ai’s **Bedrock Converse**
|
||||
streaming provider. Bedrock auth uses the **AWS SDK default credential chain**,
|
||||
not an API key.
|
||||
|
||||
## What pi‑ai supports
|
||||
|
||||
- Provider: `amazon-bedrock`
|
||||
- API: `bedrock-converse-stream`
|
||||
- Auth: AWS credentials (env vars, shared config, or instance role)
|
||||
- Region: `AWS_REGION` or `AWS_DEFAULT_REGION` (default: `us-east-1`)
|
||||
|
||||
## Automatic model discovery
|
||||
|
||||
If AWS credentials are detected, OpenClaw can automatically discover Bedrock
|
||||
models that support **streaming** and **text output**. Discovery uses
|
||||
`bedrock:ListFoundationModels` and is cached (default: 1 hour).
|
||||
|
||||
Config options live under `models.bedrockDiscovery`:
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
models: {
|
||||
bedrockDiscovery: {
|
||||
enabled: true,
|
||||
region: "us-east-1",
|
||||
providerFilter: ["anthropic", "amazon"],
|
||||
refreshInterval: 3600,
|
||||
defaultContextWindow: 32000,
|
||||
defaultMaxTokens: 4096,
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Notes:
|
||||
|
||||
- `enabled` defaults to `true` when AWS credentials are present.
|
||||
- `region` defaults to `AWS_REGION` or `AWS_DEFAULT_REGION`, then `us-east-1`.
|
||||
- `providerFilter` matches Bedrock provider names (for example `anthropic`).
|
||||
- `refreshInterval` is seconds; set to `0` to disable caching.
|
||||
- `defaultContextWindow` (default: `32000`) and `defaultMaxTokens` (default: `4096`)
|
||||
are used for discovered models (override if you know your model limits).
|
||||
|
||||
## Setup (manual)
|
||||
|
||||
1. Ensure AWS credentials are available on the **gateway host**:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID="AKIA..."
|
||||
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY="..."
|
||||
export AWS_REGION="us-east-1"
|
||||
# Optional:
|
||||
export AWS_SESSION_TOKEN="..."
|
||||
export AWS_PROFILE="your-profile"
|
||||
# Optional (Bedrock API key/bearer token):
|
||||
export AWS_BEARER_TOKEN_BEDROCK="..."
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. Add a Bedrock provider and model to your config (no `apiKey` required):
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
models: {
|
||||
providers: {
|
||||
"amazon-bedrock": {
|
||||
baseUrl: "https://bedrock-runtime.us-east-1.amazonaws.com",
|
||||
api: "bedrock-converse-stream",
|
||||
auth: "aws-sdk",
|
||||
models: [
|
||||
{
|
||||
id: "anthropic.claude-opus-4-5-20251101-v1:0",
|
||||
name: "Claude Opus 4.5 (Bedrock)",
|
||||
reasoning: true,
|
||||
input: ["text", "image"],
|
||||
cost: { input: 0, output: 0, cacheRead: 0, cacheWrite: 0 },
|
||||
contextWindow: 200000,
|
||||
maxTokens: 8192,
|
||||
},
|
||||
],
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
agents: {
|
||||
defaults: {
|
||||
model: { primary: "amazon-bedrock/anthropic.claude-opus-4-5-20251101-v1:0" },
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## EC2 Instance Roles
|
||||
|
||||
When running OpenClaw on an EC2 instance with an IAM role attached, the AWS SDK
|
||||
will automatically use the instance metadata service (IMDS) for authentication.
|
||||
However, OpenClaw's credential detection currently only checks for environment
|
||||
variables, not IMDS credentials.
|
||||
|
||||
**Workaround:** Set `AWS_PROFILE=default` to signal that AWS credentials are
|
||||
available. The actual authentication still uses the instance role via IMDS.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Add to ~/.bashrc or your shell profile
|
||||
export AWS_PROFILE=default
|
||||
export AWS_REGION=us-east-1
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Required IAM permissions** for the EC2 instance role:
|
||||
|
||||
- `bedrock:InvokeModel`
|
||||
- `bedrock:InvokeModelWithResponseStream`
|
||||
- `bedrock:ListFoundationModels` (for automatic discovery)
|
||||
|
||||
Or attach the managed policy `AmazonBedrockFullAccess`.
|
||||
|
||||
**Quick setup:**
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# 1. Create IAM role and instance profile
|
||||
aws iam create-role --role-name EC2-Bedrock-Access \
|
||||
--assume-role-policy-document '{
|
||||
"Version": "2012-10-17",
|
||||
"Statement": [{
|
||||
"Effect": "Allow",
|
||||
"Principal": {"Service": "ec2.amazonaws.com"},
|
||||
"Action": "sts:AssumeRole"
|
||||
}]
|
||||
}'
|
||||
|
||||
aws iam attach-role-policy --role-name EC2-Bedrock-Access \
|
||||
--policy-arn arn:aws:iam::aws:policy/AmazonBedrockFullAccess
|
||||
|
||||
aws iam create-instance-profile --instance-profile-name EC2-Bedrock-Access
|
||||
aws iam add-role-to-instance-profile \
|
||||
--instance-profile-name EC2-Bedrock-Access \
|
||||
--role-name EC2-Bedrock-Access
|
||||
|
||||
# 2. Attach to your EC2 instance
|
||||
aws ec2 associate-iam-instance-profile \
|
||||
--instance-id i-xxxxx \
|
||||
--iam-instance-profile Name=EC2-Bedrock-Access
|
||||
|
||||
# 3. On the EC2 instance, enable discovery
|
||||
openclaw config set models.bedrockDiscovery.enabled true
|
||||
openclaw config set models.bedrockDiscovery.region us-east-1
|
||||
|
||||
# 4. Set the workaround env vars
|
||||
echo 'export AWS_PROFILE=default' >> ~/.bashrc
|
||||
echo 'export AWS_REGION=us-east-1' >> ~/.bashrc
|
||||
source ~/.bashrc
|
||||
|
||||
# 5. Verify models are discovered
|
||||
openclaw models list
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Notes
|
||||
|
||||
- Bedrock requires **model access** enabled in your AWS account/region.
|
||||
- Automatic discovery needs the `bedrock:ListFoundationModels` permission.
|
||||
- If you use profiles, set `AWS_PROFILE` on the gateway host.
|
||||
- OpenClaw surfaces the credential source in this order: `AWS_BEARER_TOKEN_BEDROCK`,
|
||||
then `AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID` + `AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY`, then `AWS_PROFILE`, then the
|
||||
default AWS SDK chain.
|
||||
- Reasoning support depends on the model; check the Bedrock model card for
|
||||
current capabilities.
|
||||
- If you prefer a managed key flow, you can also place an OpenAI‑compatible
|
||||
proxy in front of Bedrock and configure it as an OpenAI provider instead.

# Brave Search API
|
||||
|
||||
OpenClaw uses Brave Search as the default provider for `web_search`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Get an API key
|
||||
|
||||
1. Create a Brave Search API account at https://brave.com/search/api/
|
||||
2. In the dashboard, choose the **Data for Search** plan and generate an API key.
|
||||
3. Store the key in config (recommended) or set `BRAVE_API_KEY` in the Gateway environment.
|
||||
|
||||
## Config example
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
tools: {
|
||||
web: {
|
||||
search: {
|
||||
provider: "brave",
|

},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Notes
|
||||
|
||||
- The Data for AI plan is **not** compatible with `web_search`.
|
||||
- Brave provides a free tier plus paid plans; check the Brave API portal for current limits.

# Broadcast Groups
|
||||
|
||||
**Status:** Experimental
|
||||
**Version:** Added in 2026.1.9
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
Broadcast Groups enable multiple agents to process and respond to the same message simultaneously. This allows you to create specialized agent teams that work together in a single WhatsApp group or DM — all using one phone number.
|
||||
|
||||
Current scope: **WhatsApp only** (web channel).
|
||||
|
||||
Broadcast groups are evaluated after channel allowlists and group activation rules. In WhatsApp groups, this means broadcasts happen when OpenClaw would normally reply (for example: on mention, depending on your group settings).
|
||||
|
||||
## Use Cases
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Specialized Agent Teams
|
||||
|
||||
Deploy multiple agents with atomic, focused responsibilities:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Group: "Development Team"
|
||||
Agents:
|
||||
- CodeReviewer (reviews code snippets)
|
||||
- DocumentationBot (generates docs)
|
||||
- SecurityAuditor (checks for vulnerabilities)
|
||||
- TestGenerator (suggests test cases)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Each agent processes the same message and provides its specialized perspective.
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Multi-Language Support
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Group: "International Support"
|
||||
Agents:
|
||||
- Agent_EN (responds in English)
|
||||
- Agent_DE (responds in German)
|
||||
- Agent_ES (responds in Spanish)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Quality Assurance Workflows
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Group: "Customer Support"
|
||||
Agents:
|
||||
- SupportAgent (provides answer)
|
||||
- QAAgent (reviews quality, only responds if issues found)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Task Automation
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Group: "Project Management"
|
||||
Agents:
|
||||
- TaskTracker (updates task database)
|
||||
- TimeLogger (logs time spent)
|
||||
- ReportGenerator (creates summaries)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
### Basic Setup
|
||||
|
||||
Add a top-level `broadcast` section (next to `bindings`). Keys are WhatsApp peer ids:
|
||||
|
||||
- group chats: group JID (e.g. `120363403215116621@g.us`)
|
||||
- DMs: E.164 phone number (e.g. `+15551234567`)
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"broadcast": {
|
||||
"120363403215116621@g.us": ["alfred", "baerbel", "assistant3"]
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Result:** When OpenClaw would reply in this chat, it will run all three agents.
|
||||
|
||||
### Processing Strategy
|
||||
|
||||
Control how agents process messages:
|
||||
|
||||
#### Parallel (Default)
|
||||
|
||||
All agents process simultaneously:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"broadcast": {
|
||||
"strategy": "parallel",
|
||||
"120363403215116621@g.us": ["alfred", "baerbel"]
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Sequential
|
||||
|
||||
Agents process in order (one waits for previous to finish):
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"broadcast": {
|
||||
"strategy": "sequential",
|
||||
"120363403215116621@g.us": ["alfred", "baerbel"]
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Complete Example
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"agents": {
|
||||
"list": [
|
||||
{
|
||||
"id": "code-reviewer",
|
||||
"name": "Code Reviewer",
|
||||
"workspace": "/path/to/code-reviewer",
|
||||
"sandbox": { "mode": "all" }
|
||||
},
|
||||
{
|
||||
"id": "security-auditor",
|
||||
"name": "Security Auditor",
|
||||
"workspace": "/path/to/security-auditor",
|
||||
"sandbox": { "mode": "all" }
|
||||
},
|
||||
{
|
||||
"id": "docs-generator",
|
||||
"name": "Documentation Generator",
|
||||
"workspace": "/path/to/docs-generator",
|
||||
"sandbox": { "mode": "all" }
|
||||
}
|
||||
]
|
||||
},
|
||||
"broadcast": {
|
||||
"strategy": "parallel",
|
||||
"120363403215116621@g.us": ["code-reviewer", "security-auditor", "docs-generator"],
|
||||
"120363424282127706@g.us": ["support-en", "support-de"],
|
||||
"+15555550123": ["assistant", "logger"]
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## How It Works
|
||||
|
||||
### Message Flow
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Incoming message** arrives in a WhatsApp group
|
||||
2. **Broadcast check**: System checks if peer ID is in `broadcast`
|
||||
3. **If in broadcast list**:
|
||||
- All listed agents process the message
|
||||
- Each agent has its own session key and isolated context
|
||||
- Agents process in parallel (default) or sequentially
|
||||
4. **If not in broadcast list**:
|
||||
- Normal routing applies (first matching binding)
|
||||
|
||||
Note: broadcast groups do not bypass channel allowlists or group activation rules (mentions/commands/etc). They only change _which agents run_ when a message is eligible for processing.
|
||||
|
||||
### Session Isolation
|
||||
|
||||
Each agent in a broadcast group maintains completely separate:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Session keys** (`agent:alfred:whatsapp:group:120363...` vs `agent:baerbel:whatsapp:group:120363...`)
|
||||
- **Conversation history** (agent doesn't see other agents' messages)
|
||||
- **Workspace** (separate sandboxes if configured)
|
||||
- **Tool access** (different allow/deny lists)
|
||||
- **Memory/context** (separate IDENTITY.md, SOUL.md, etc.)
|
||||
- **Group context buffer** (recent group messages used for context) is shared per peer, so all broadcast agents see the same context when triggered
|
||||
|
||||
This allows each agent to have:
|
||||
|
||||
- Different personalities
|
||||
- Different tool access (e.g., read-only vs. read-write)
|
||||
- Different models (e.g., opus vs. sonnet)
|
||||
- Different skills installed
|
||||
|
||||
### Example: Isolated Sessions
|
||||
|
||||
In group `120363403215116621@g.us` with agents `["alfred", "baerbel"]`:
|
||||
|
||||
**Alfred's context:**
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Session: agent:alfred:whatsapp:group:120363403215116621@g.us
|
||||
History: [user message, alfred's previous responses]
|
||||
Workspace: /Users/pascal/openclaw-alfred/
|
||||
Tools: read, write, exec
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Bärbel's context:**
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Session: agent:baerbel:whatsapp:group:120363403215116621@g.us
|
||||
History: [user message, baerbel's previous responses]
|
||||
Workspace: /Users/pascal/openclaw-baerbel/
|
||||
Tools: read only
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Best Practices
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Keep Agents Focused
|
||||
|
||||
Design each agent with a single, clear responsibility:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"broadcast": {
|
||||
"DEV_GROUP": ["formatter", "linter", "tester"]
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
✅ **Good:** Each agent has one job
|
||||
❌ **Bad:** One generic "dev-helper" agent
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Use Descriptive Names
|
||||
|
||||
Make it clear what each agent does:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"agents": {
|
||||
"security-scanner": { "name": "Security Scanner" },
|
||||
"code-formatter": { "name": "Code Formatter" },
|
||||
"test-generator": { "name": "Test Generator" }
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Configure Different Tool Access
|
||||
|
||||
Give agents only the tools they need:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"agents": {
|
||||
"reviewer": {
|
||||
"tools": { "allow": ["read", "exec"] } // Read-only
|
||||
},
|
||||
"fixer": {
|
||||
"tools": { "allow": ["read", "write", "edit", "exec"] } // Read-write
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Monitor Performance
|
||||
|
||||
With many agents, consider:
|
||||
|
||||
- Using `"strategy": "parallel"` (default) for speed
|
||||
- Limiting broadcast groups to 5-10 agents
|
||||
- Using faster models for simpler agents
|
||||
|
||||
### 5. Handle Failures Gracefully
|
||||
|
||||
Agents fail independently. One agent's error doesn't block others:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Message → [Agent A ✓, Agent B ✗ error, Agent C ✓]
|
||||
Result: Agent A and C respond, Agent B logs error
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Compatibility
|
||||
|
||||
### Providers
|
||||
|
||||
Broadcast groups currently work with:
|
||||
|
||||
- ✅ WhatsApp (implemented)
|
||||
- 🚧 Telegram (planned)
|
||||
- 🚧 Discord (planned)
|
||||
- 🚧 Slack (planned)
|
||||
|
||||
### Routing
|
||||
|
||||
Broadcast groups work alongside existing routing:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"bindings": [
|
||||
{
|
||||
"match": { "channel": "whatsapp", "peer": { "kind": "group", "id": "GROUP_A" } },
|
||||
"agentId": "alfred"
|
||||
}
|
||||
],
|
||||
"broadcast": {
|
||||
"GROUP_B": ["agent1", "agent2"]
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
- `GROUP_A`: Only alfred responds (normal routing)
|
||||
- `GROUP_B`: agent1 AND agent2 respond (broadcast)
|
||||
|
||||
**Precedence:** `broadcast` takes priority over `bindings`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
### Agents Not Responding
|
||||
|
||||
**Check:**
|
||||
|
||||
1. Agent IDs exist in `agents.list`
|
||||
2. Peer ID format is correct (e.g., `120363403215116621@g.us`)
|
||||
3. Agents are not in deny lists
|
||||
|
||||
**Debug:**
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
tail -f ~/.openclaw/logs/gateway.log | grep broadcast
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Only One Agent Responding
|
||||
|
||||
**Cause:** Peer ID might be in `bindings` but not `broadcast`.
|
||||
|
||||
**Fix:** Add to broadcast config or remove from bindings.
|
||||
|
||||
### Performance Issues
|
||||
|
||||
**If slow with many agents:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Reduce number of agents per group
|
||||
- Use lighter models (sonnet instead of opus)
|
||||
- Check sandbox startup time
|
||||
|
||||
## Examples
|
||||
|
||||
### Example 1: Code Review Team
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"broadcast": {
|
||||
"strategy": "parallel",
|
||||
"120363403215116621@g.us": [
|
||||
"code-formatter",
|
||||
"security-scanner",
|
||||
"test-coverage",
|
||||
"docs-checker"
|
||||
]
|
||||
},
|
||||
"agents": {
|
||||
"list": [
|
||||
{
|
||||
"id": "code-formatter",
|
||||
"workspace": "~/agents/formatter",
|
||||
"tools": { "allow": ["read", "write"] }
|
||||
},
|
||||
{
|
||||
"id": "security-scanner",
|
||||
"workspace": "~/agents/security",
|
||||
"tools": { "allow": ["read", "exec"] }
|
||||
},
|
||||
{
|
||||
"id": "test-coverage",
|
||||
"workspace": "~/agents/testing",
|
||||
"tools": { "allow": ["read", "exec"] }
|
||||
},
|
||||
{ "id": "docs-checker", "workspace": "~/agents/docs", "tools": { "allow": ["read"] } }
|
||||
]
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**User sends:** Code snippet
|
||||
**Responses:**
|
||||
|
||||
- code-formatter: "Fixed indentation and added type hints"
|
||||
- security-scanner: "⚠️ SQL injection vulnerability in line 12"
|
||||
- test-coverage: "Coverage is 45%, missing tests for error cases"
|
||||
- docs-checker: "Missing docstring for function `process_data`"
|
||||
|
||||
### Example 2: Multi-Language Support
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"broadcast": {
|
||||
"strategy": "sequential",
|
||||
"+15555550123": ["detect-language", "translator-en", "translator-de"]
|
||||
},
|
||||
"agents": {
|
||||
"list": [
|
||||
{ "id": "detect-language", "workspace": "~/agents/lang-detect" },
|
||||
{ "id": "translator-en", "workspace": "~/agents/translate-en" },
|
||||
{ "id": "translator-de", "workspace": "~/agents/translate-de" }
|
||||
]
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## API Reference
|
||||
|
||||
### Config Schema
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
interface OpenClawConfig {
|
||||
broadcast?: {
|
||||
strategy?: "parallel" | "sequential";
|
||||
[peerId: string]: string[];
|
||||
};
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Fields
|
||||
|
||||
- `strategy` (optional): How to process agents
|
||||
- `"parallel"` (default): All agents process simultaneously
|
||||
- `"sequential"`: Agents process in array order
|
||||
- `[peerId]`: WhatsApp group JID, E.164 number, or other peer ID
|
||||
- Value: Array of agent IDs that should process messages
|
||||
|
||||
## Limitations
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Max agents:** No hard limit, but 10+ agents may be slow
|
||||
2. **Shared context:** Agents don't see each other's responses (by design)
|
||||
3. **Message ordering:** Parallel responses may arrive in any order
|
||||
4. **Rate limits:** All agents count toward WhatsApp rate limits
|
||||
|
||||
## Future Enhancements
|
||||
|
||||
Planned features:
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] Shared context mode (agents see each other's responses)
|
||||
- [ ] Agent coordination (agents can signal each other)
|
||||
- [ ] Dynamic agent selection (choose agents based on message content)
|
||||
- [ ] Agent priorities (some agents respond before others)

# BlueBubbles (macOS REST)
|
||||
|
||||
Status: bundled plugin that talks to the BlueBubbles macOS server over HTTP. **Recommended for iMessage integration** due to its richer API and easier setup compared to the legacy imsg channel.
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
- Runs on macOS via the BlueBubbles helper app ([bluebubbles.app](https://bluebubbles.app)).
|
||||
- Recommended/tested: macOS Sequoia (15). macOS Tahoe (26) works; edit is currently broken on Tahoe, and group icon updates may report success but not sync.
|
||||
- OpenClaw talks to it through its REST API (`GET /api/v1/ping`, `POST /message/text`, `POST /chat/:id/*`).
|
||||
- Incoming messages arrive via webhooks; outgoing replies, typing indicators, read receipts, and tapbacks are REST calls.
|
||||
- Attachments and stickers are ingested as inbound media (and surfaced to the agent when possible).
|
||||
- Pairing/allowlist works the same way as other channels (`/start/pairing` etc) with `channels.bluebubbles.allowFrom` + pairing codes.
|
||||
- Reactions are surfaced as system events just like Slack/Telegram so agents can "mention" them before replying.
|
||||
- Advanced features: edit, unsend, reply threading, message effects, group management.
|
||||
|
||||
## Quick start
|
||||
|
||||
1. Install the BlueBubbles server on your Mac (follow the instructions at [bluebubbles.app/install](https://bluebubbles.app/install)).
|
||||
2. In the BlueBubbles config, enable the web API and set a password.
|
||||
3. Run `openclaw onboard` and select BlueBubbles, or configure manually:
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
channels: {
|
||||
bluebubbles: {
|
||||
enabled: true,
|
||||
serverUrl: "http://192.168.1.100:1234",
|
||||
password: "example-password",
|
||||
webhookPath: "/bluebubbles-webhook",
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
4. Point BlueBubbles webhooks to your gateway (example: `https://your-gateway-host:3000/bluebubbles-webhook?password=<password>`).
|
||||
5. Start the gateway; it will register the webhook handler and start pairing.
|
||||
|
||||
## Keeping Messages.app alive (VM / headless setups)
|
||||
|
||||
Some macOS VM / always-on setups can end up with Messages.app going “idle” (incoming events stop until the app is opened/foregrounded). A simple workaround is to **poke Messages every 5 minutes** using an AppleScript + LaunchAgent.
|
||||
|
||||
### 1) Save the AppleScript
|
||||
|
||||
Save this as:
|
||||
|
||||
- `~/Scripts/poke-messages.scpt`
|
||||
|
||||
Example script (non-interactive; does not steal focus):
|
||||
|
||||
```applescript
|
||||
try
|
||||
tell application "Messages"
|
||||
if not running then
|
||||
launch
|
||||
end if
|
||||
|
||||
-- Touch the scripting interface to keep the process responsive.
|
||||
set _chatCount to (count of chats)
|
||||
end tell
|
||||
on error
|
||||
-- Ignore transient failures (first-run prompts, locked session, etc).
|
||||
end try
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 2) Install a LaunchAgent
|
||||
|
||||
Save this as:
|
||||
|
||||
- `~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.user.poke-messages.plist`
|
||||
|
||||
```xml
|
||||
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
|
||||
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
|
||||
<plist version="1.0">
|
||||
<dict>
|
||||
<key>Label</key>
|
||||
<string>com.user.poke-messages</string>
|
||||
|
||||
<key>ProgramArguments</key>
|
||||
<array>
|
||||
<string>/bin/bash</string>
|
||||
<string>-lc</string>
|
||||
<string>/usr/bin/osascript "$HOME/Scripts/poke-messages.scpt"</string>
|
||||
</array>
|
||||
|
||||
<key>RunAtLoad</key>
|
||||
<true/>
|
||||
|
||||
<key>StartInterval</key>
|
||||
<integer>300</integer>
|
||||
|
||||
<key>StandardOutPath</key>
|
||||
<string>/tmp/poke-messages.log</string>
|
||||
<key>StandardErrorPath</key>
|
||||
<string>/tmp/poke-messages.err</string>
|
||||
</dict>
|
||||
</plist>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Notes:
|
||||
|
||||
- This runs **every 300 seconds** and **on login**.
|
||||
- The first run may trigger macOS **Automation** prompts (`osascript` → Messages). Approve them in the same user session that runs the LaunchAgent.
|
||||
|
||||
Load it:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
launchctl unload ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.user.poke-messages.plist 2>/dev/null || true
|
||||
launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.user.poke-messages.plist
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Onboarding
|
||||
|
||||
BlueBubbles is available in the interactive setup wizard:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
openclaw onboard
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The wizard prompts for:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Server URL** (required): BlueBubbles server address (e.g., `http://192.168.1.100:1234`)
|
||||
- **Password** (required): API password from BlueBubbles Server settings
|
||||
- **Webhook path** (optional): Defaults to `/bluebubbles-webhook`
|
||||
- **DM policy**: pairing, allowlist, open, or disabled
|
||||
- **Allow list**: Phone numbers, emails, or chat targets
|
||||
|
||||
You can also add BlueBubbles via CLI:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
openclaw channels add bluebubbles --http-url http://192.168.1.100:1234 --password <password>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Access control (DMs + groups)
|
||||
|
||||
DMs:
|
||||
|
||||
- Default: `channels.bluebubbles.dmPolicy = "pairing"`.
|
||||
- Unknown senders receive a pairing code; messages are ignored until approved (codes expire after 1 hour).
|
||||
- Approve via:
|
||||
- `openclaw pairing list bluebubbles`
|
||||
- `openclaw pairing approve bluebubbles <CODE>`
|
||||
- Pairing is the default token exchange. Details: [Pairing](/start/pairing)
|
||||
|
||||
Groups:
|
||||
|
||||
- `channels.bluebubbles.groupPolicy = open | allowlist | disabled` (default: `allowlist`).
|
||||
- `channels.bluebubbles.groupAllowFrom` controls who can trigger in groups when `allowlist` is set.
|
||||
|
||||
### Mention gating (groups)
|
||||
|
||||
BlueBubbles supports mention gating for group chats, matching iMessage/WhatsApp behavior:
|
||||
|
||||
- Uses `agents.list[].groupChat.mentionPatterns` (or `messages.groupChat.mentionPatterns`) to detect mentions.
|
||||
- When `requireMention` is enabled for a group, the agent only responds when mentioned.
|
||||
- Control commands from authorized senders bypass mention gating.
|
||||
|
||||
Per-group configuration:
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
channels: {
|
||||
bluebubbles: {
|
||||
groupPolicy: "allowlist",
|
||||
groupAllowFrom: ["+15555550123"],
|
||||
groups: {
|
||||
"*": { requireMention: true }, // default for all groups
|
||||
"iMessage;-;chat123": { requireMention: false }, // override for specific group
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Command gating
|
||||
|
||||
- Control commands (e.g., `/config`, `/model`) require authorization.
|
||||
- Uses `allowFrom` and `groupAllowFrom` to determine command authorization.
|
||||
- Authorized senders can run control commands even without mentioning in groups.
|
||||
|
||||
## Typing + read receipts
|
||||
|
||||
- **Typing indicators**: Sent automatically before and during response generation.
|
||||
- **Read receipts**: Controlled by `channels.bluebubbles.sendReadReceipts` (default: `true`).
|
||||
- **Typing indicators**: OpenClaw sends typing start events; BlueBubbles clears typing automatically on send or timeout (manual stop via DELETE is unreliable).
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
channels: {
|
||||
bluebubbles: {
|
||||
sendReadReceipts: false, // disable read receipts
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Advanced actions
|
||||
|
||||
BlueBubbles supports advanced message actions when enabled in config:
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
channels: {
|
||||
bluebubbles: {
|
||||
actions: {
|
||||
reactions: true, // tapbacks (default: true)
|
||||
edit: true, // edit sent messages (macOS 13+, broken on macOS 26 Tahoe)
|
||||
unsend: true, // unsend messages (macOS 13+)
|
||||
reply: true, // reply threading by message GUID
|
||||
sendWithEffect: true, // message effects (slam, loud, etc.)
|
||||
renameGroup: true, // rename group chats
|
||||
setGroupIcon: true, // set group chat icon/photo (flaky on macOS 26 Tahoe)
|
||||
addParticipant: true, // add participants to groups
|
||||
removeParticipant: true, // remove participants from groups
|
||||
leaveGroup: true, // leave group chats
|
||||
sendAttachment: true, // send attachments/media
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Available actions:
|
||||
|
||||
- **react**: Add/remove tapback reactions (`messageId`, `emoji`, `remove`)
|
||||
- **edit**: Edit a sent message (`messageId`, `text`)
|
||||
- **unsend**: Unsend a message (`messageId`)
|
||||
- **reply**: Reply to a specific message (`messageId`, `text`, `to`)
|
||||
- **sendWithEffect**: Send with iMessage effect (`text`, `to`, `effectId`)
|
||||
- **renameGroup**: Rename a group chat (`chatGuid`, `displayName`)
|
||||
- **setGroupIcon**: Set a group chat's icon/photo (`chatGuid`, `media`) — flaky on macOS 26 Tahoe (API may return success but the icon does not sync).
|
||||
- **addParticipant**: Add someone to a group (`chatGuid`, `address`)
|
||||
- **removeParticipant**: Remove someone from a group (`chatGuid`, `address`)
|
||||
- **leaveGroup**: Leave a group chat (`chatGuid`)
|
||||
- **sendAttachment**: Send media/files (`to`, `buffer`, `filename`, `asVoice`)
|
||||
- Voice memos: set `asVoice: true` with **MP3** or **CAF** audio to send as an iMessage voice message. BlueBubbles converts MP3 → CAF when sending voice memos.
|
||||
|
||||
### Message IDs (short vs full)
|
||||
|
||||
OpenClaw may surface _short_ message IDs (e.g., `1`, `2`) to save tokens.
|
||||
|
||||
- `MessageSid` / `ReplyToId` can be short IDs.
|
||||
- `MessageSidFull` / `ReplyToIdFull` contain the provider full IDs.
|
||||
- Short IDs are in-memory; they can expire on restart or cache eviction.
|
||||
- Actions accept short or full `messageId`, but short IDs will error if no longer available.
|
||||
|
||||
Use full IDs for durable automations and storage:
|
||||
|
||||
- Templates: `{{MessageSidFull}}`, `{{ReplyToIdFull}}`
|
||||
- Context: `MessageSidFull` / `ReplyToIdFull` in inbound payloads
|
||||
|
||||
See [Configuration](/gateway/configuration) for template variables.
|
||||
|
||||
## Block streaming
|
||||
|
||||
Control whether responses are sent as a single message or streamed in blocks:
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
channels: {
|
||||
bluebubbles: {
|
||||
blockStreaming: true, // enable block streaming (off by default)
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Media + limits
|
||||
|
||||
- Inbound attachments are downloaded and stored in the media cache.
|
||||
- Media cap via `channels.bluebubbles.mediaMaxMb` (default: 8 MB).
|
||||
- Outbound text is chunked to `channels.bluebubbles.textChunkLimit` (default: 4000 chars).
|
||||
|
||||
## Configuration reference

|
||||
- `channels.bluebubbles.groupPolicy`: `open | allowlist | disabled` (default: `allowlist`).

Related global options:
|
||||
|
||||
- `agents.list[].groupChat.mentionPatterns` (or `messages.groupChat.mentionPatterns`).
|
||||
- `messages.responsePrefix`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Addressing / delivery targets
|
||||
|
||||
Prefer `chat_guid` for stable routing:
|
||||
|
||||
- `chat_guid:iMessage;-;+15555550123` (preferred for groups)
|
||||
- `chat_id:123`
|
||||
- `chat_identifier:...`
|
||||
- Direct handles: `+15555550123`, `user@example.com`
|
||||
- If a direct handle does not have an existing DM chat, OpenClaw will create one via `POST /api/v1/chat/new`. This requires the BlueBubbles Private API to be enabled.
|
||||
|
||||
## Security
|
||||
|
||||
- Webhook requests are authenticated by comparing `guid`/`password` query params or headers against `channels.bluebubbles.password`. Requests from `localhost` are also accepted.
|
||||
- Keep the API password and webhook endpoint secret (treat them like credentials).
|
||||
- Localhost trust means a same-host reverse proxy can unintentionally bypass the password. If you proxy the gateway, require auth at the proxy and configure `gateway.trustedProxies`. See [Gateway security](/gateway/security#reverse-proxy-configuration).
|
||||
- Enable HTTPS + firewall rules on the BlueBubbles server if exposing it outside your LAN.
|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
- If typing/read events stop working, check the BlueBubbles webhook logs and verify the gateway path matches `channels.bluebubbles.webhookPath`.
|
||||
- Pairing codes expire after one hour; use `openclaw pairing list bluebubbles` and `openclaw pairing approve bluebubbles <code>`.
|
||||
- Reactions require the BlueBubbles private API (`POST /api/v1/message/react`); ensure the server version exposes it.
|
||||
- Edit/unsend require macOS 13+ and a compatible BlueBubbles server version. On macOS 26 (Tahoe), edit is currently broken due to private API changes.
|
||||
- Group icon updates can be flaky on macOS 26 (Tahoe): the API may return success but the new icon does not sync.
|
||||
- OpenClaw auto-hides known-broken actions based on the BlueBubbles server's macOS version. If edit still appears on macOS 26 (Tahoe), disable it manually with `channels.bluebubbles.actions.edit=false`.
|
||||
- For status/health info: `openclaw status --all` or `openclaw status --deep`.
|
||||
|
||||

# Discord (Bot API)
|
||||
|
||||
Status: ready for DM and guild text channels via the official Discord bot gateway.
|
||||
|
||||
## Quick setup (beginner)
|
||||
|
||||
1. Create a Discord bot and copy the bot token.
|
||||
2. In the Discord app settings, enable **Message Content Intent** (and **Server Members Intent** if you plan to use allowlists or name lookups).
|
||||
3. Set the token for OpenClaw:
|
||||
- Env: `DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN=...`
|
||||
- Or config: `channels.discord.token: "..."`.
|
||||
- If both are set, config takes precedence (env fallback is default-account only).
|
||||
4. Invite the bot to your server with message permissions (create a private server if you just want DMs).
|
||||
5. Start the gateway.
|
||||
6. DM access is pairing by default; approve the pairing code on first contact.
|
||||
|
||||
Minimal config:
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
channels: {
|
||||
discord: {
|
||||
enabled: true,
|
||||
token: "YOUR_BOT_TOKEN",
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Goals
|
||||
|
||||
- Talk to OpenClaw via Discord DMs or guild channels.
|
||||
- Direct chats collapse into the agent's main session (default `agent:main:main`); guild channels stay isolated as `agent:<agentId>:discord:channel:<channelId>` (display names use `discord:<guildSlug>#<channelSlug>`).
|
||||
- Group DMs are ignored by default; enable via `channels.discord.dm.groupEnabled` and optionally restrict by `channels.discord.dm.groupChannels`.
|
||||
- Keep routing deterministic: replies always go back to the channel they arrived on.
|
||||
|
||||
## How it works
|
||||
|
||||
1. Create a Discord application → Bot, enable the intents you need (DMs + guild messages + message content), and grab the bot token.
|
||||
2. Invite the bot to your server with the permissions required to read/send messages where you want to use it.
|
||||
3. Configure OpenClaw with `channels.discord.token` (or `DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN` as a fallback).
|
||||
4. Run the gateway; it auto-starts the Discord channel when a token is available (config first, env fallback) and `channels.discord.enabled` is not `false`.
|
||||
- If you prefer env vars, set `DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN` (a config block is optional).
|
||||
5. Direct chats: use `user:<id>` (or a `<@id>` mention) when delivering; all turns land in the shared `main` session. Bare numeric IDs are ambiguous and rejected.
|
||||
6. Guild channels: use `channel:<channelId>` for delivery. Mentions are required by default and can be set per guild or per channel.
|
||||
7. Direct chats: secure by default via `channels.discord.dm.policy` (default: `"pairing"`). Unknown senders get a pairing code (expires after 1 hour); approve via `openclaw pairing approve discord <code>`.
|
||||
- To keep old “open to anyone” behavior: set `channels.discord.dm.policy="open"` and `channels.discord.dm.allowFrom=["*"]`.
|
||||
- To hard-allowlist: set `channels.discord.dm.policy="allowlist"` and list senders in `channels.discord.dm.allowFrom`.
|
||||
- To ignore all DMs: set `channels.discord.dm.enabled=false` or `channels.discord.dm.policy="disabled"`.
|
||||
8. Group DMs are ignored by default; enable via `channels.discord.dm.groupEnabled` and optionally restrict by `channels.discord.dm.groupChannels`.
|
||||
9. Optional guild rules: set `channels.discord.guilds` keyed by guild id (preferred) or slug, with per-channel rules.
|
||||
10. Optional native commands: `commands.native` defaults to `"auto"` (on for Discord/Telegram, off for Slack). Override with `channels.discord.commands.native: true|false|"auto"`; `false` clears previously registered commands. Text commands are controlled by `commands.text` and must be sent as standalone `/...` messages. Use `commands.useAccessGroups: false` to bypass access-group checks for commands.
|
||||
- Full command list + config: [Slash commands](/tools/slash-commands)
|
||||
11. Optional guild context history: set `channels.discord.historyLimit` (default 20, falls back to `messages.groupChat.historyLimit`) to include the last N guild messages as context when replying to a mention. Set `0` to disable.
|
||||
12. Reactions: the agent can trigger reactions via the `discord` tool (gated by `channels.discord.actions.*`).
|
||||
- Reaction removal semantics: see [/tools/reactions](/tools/reactions).
|
||||
- The `discord` tool is only exposed when the current channel is Discord.
|
||||
13. Native commands use isolated session keys (`agent:<agentId>:discord:slash:<userId>`) rather than the shared `main` session.
|
||||
|
||||
Note: Name → id resolution uses guild member search and requires Server Members Intent; if the bot can’t search members, use ids or `<@id>` mentions.
|
||||
Note: Slugs are lowercase with spaces replaced by `-`. Channel names are slugged without the leading `#`.
|
||||
Note: Guild context `[from:]` lines include `author.tag` + `id` to make ping-ready replies easy.
|
||||
|
||||
## Config writes
|
||||
|
||||
By default, Discord is allowed to write config updates triggered by `/config set|unset` (requires `commands.config: true`).
|
||||
|
||||
Disable with:
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
channels: { discord: { configWrites: false } },
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## How to create your own bot
|
||||
|
||||
This is the “Discord Developer Portal” setup for running OpenClaw in a server (guild) channel like `#help`.
|
||||
|
||||
### 1) Create the Discord app + bot user
|
||||
|
||||
1. Discord Developer Portal → **Applications** → **New Application**
|
||||
2. In your app:
|
||||
- **Bot** → **Add Bot**
|
||||
- Copy the **Bot Token** (this is what you put in `DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN`)
|
||||
|
||||
### 2) Enable the gateway intents OpenClaw needs
|
||||
|
||||
Discord blocks “privileged intents” unless you explicitly enable them.
|
||||
|
||||
In **Bot** → **Privileged Gateway Intents**, enable:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Message Content Intent** (required to read message text in most guilds; without it you’ll see “Used disallowed intents” or the bot will connect but not react to messages)
|
||||
- **Server Members Intent** (recommended; required for some member/user lookups and allowlist matching in guilds)
|
||||
|
||||
You usually do **not** need **Presence Intent**. Setting the bot's own presence (`setPresence` action) uses gateway OP3 and does not require this intent; it is only needed if you want to receive presence updates about other guild members.
|
||||
|
||||
### 3) Generate an invite URL (OAuth2 URL Generator)
|
||||
|
||||
In your app: **OAuth2** → **URL Generator**
|
||||
|
||||
**Scopes**
|
||||
|
||||
- ✅ `bot`
|
||||
- ✅ `applications.commands` (required for native commands)
|
||||
|
||||
**Bot Permissions** (minimal baseline)
|
||||
|
||||
- ✅ View Channels
|
||||
- ✅ Send Messages
|
||||
- ✅ Read Message History
|
||||
- ✅ Embed Links
|
||||
- ✅ Attach Files
|
||||
- ✅ Add Reactions (optional but recommended)
|
||||
- ✅ Use External Emojis / Stickers (optional; only if you want them)
|
||||
|
||||
Avoid **Administrator** unless you’re debugging and fully trust the bot.
|
||||
|
||||
Copy the generated URL, open it, pick your server, and install the bot.
|
||||
|
||||
### 4) Get the ids (guild/user/channel)
|
||||
|
||||
Discord uses numeric ids everywhere; OpenClaw config prefers ids.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Discord (desktop/web) → **User Settings** → **Advanced** → enable **Developer Mode**
|
||||
2. Right-click:
|
||||
- Server name → **Copy Server ID** (guild id)
|
||||
- Channel (e.g. `#help`) → **Copy Channel ID**
|
||||
- Your user → **Copy User ID**
|
||||
|
||||
### 5) Configure OpenClaw
|
||||
|
||||
#### Token
|
||||
|
||||
Set the bot token via env var (recommended on servers):
|
||||
|
||||
- `DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN=...`
|
||||
|
||||
Or via config:
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
channels: {
|
||||
discord: {
|
||||
enabled: true,
|
||||
token: "YOUR_BOT_TOKEN",
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Multi-account support: use `channels.discord.accounts` with per-account tokens and optional `name`. See [`gateway/configuration`](/gateway/configuration#telegramaccounts--discordaccounts--slackaccounts--signalaccounts--imessageaccounts) for the shared pattern.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Allowlist + channel routing
|
||||
|
||||
Example “single server, only allow me, only allow #help”:
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
channels: {
|
||||
discord: {
|
||||
enabled: true,
|
||||
dm: { enabled: false },
|
||||
guilds: {
|
||||
YOUR_GUILD_ID: {
|
||||
users: ["YOUR_USER_ID"],
|
||||
requireMention: true,
|
||||
channels: {
|
||||
help: { allow: true, requireMention: true },
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
retry: {
|
||||
attempts: 3,
|
||||
minDelayMs: 500,
|
||||
maxDelayMs: 30000,
|
||||
jitter: 0.1,
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Notes:
|
||||
|
||||
- `requireMention: true` means the bot only replies when mentioned (recommended for shared channels).
|
||||
- `agents.list[].groupChat.mentionPatterns` (or `messages.groupChat.mentionPatterns`) also count as mentions for guild messages.
|
||||
- Multi-agent override: set per-agent patterns on `agents.list[].groupChat.mentionPatterns`.
|
||||
- If `channels` is present, any channel not listed is denied by default.
|
||||
- Use a `"*"` channel entry to apply defaults across all channels; explicit channel entries override the wildcard.
|
||||
- Threads inherit parent channel config (allowlist, `requireMention`, skills, prompts, etc.) unless you add the thread channel id explicitly.
|
||||
- Owner hint: when a per-guild or per-channel `users` allowlist matches the sender, OpenClaw treats that sender as the owner in the system prompt. For a global owner across channels, set `commands.ownerAllowFrom`.
|
||||
- Bot-authored messages are ignored by default; set `channels.discord.allowBots=true` to allow them (own messages remain filtered).
|
||||
- Warning: If you allow replies to other bots (`channels.discord.allowBots=true`), prevent bot-to-bot reply loops with `requireMention`, `channels.discord.guilds.*.channels.<id>.users` allowlists, and/or clear guardrails in `AGENTS.md` and `SOUL.md`.
|
||||
|
||||
### 6) Verify it works
|
||||
|
||||
1. Start the gateway.
|
||||
2. In your server channel, send: `@Krill hello` (or whatever your bot name is).
|
||||
3. If nothing happens: check **Troubleshooting** below.
|
||||
|
||||
### Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
- First: run `openclaw doctor` and `openclaw channels status --probe` (actionable warnings + quick audits).
|
||||
- **“Used disallowed intents”**: enable **Message Content Intent** (and likely **Server Members Intent**) in the Developer Portal, then restart the gateway.
|
||||
- **Bot connects but never replies in a guild channel**:
|
||||
- Missing **Message Content Intent**, or
|
||||
- The bot lacks channel permissions (View/Send/Read History), or
|
||||
- Your config requires mentions and you didn’t mention it, or
|
||||
- Your guild/channel allowlist denies the channel/user.
|
||||
- **`requireMention: false` but still no replies**:
|
||||
- `channels.discord.groupPolicy` defaults to **allowlist**; set it to `"open"` or add a guild entry under `channels.discord.guilds` (optionally list channels under `channels.discord.guilds.<id>.channels` to restrict).
|
||||
- If you only set `DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN` and never create a `channels.discord` section, the runtime
|
||||
defaults `groupPolicy` to `open`. Add `channels.discord.groupPolicy`,
|
||||
`channels.defaults.groupPolicy`, or a guild/channel allowlist to lock it down.
|
||||
- `requireMention` must live under `channels.discord.guilds` (or a specific channel). `channels.discord.requireMention` at the top level is ignored.
|
||||
- **Permission audits** (`channels status --probe`) only check numeric channel IDs. If you use slugs/names as `channels.discord.guilds.*.channels` keys, the audit can’t verify permissions.
|
||||
- **DMs don’t work**: `channels.discord.dm.enabled=false`, `channels.discord.dm.policy="disabled"`, or you haven’t been approved yet (`channels.discord.dm.policy="pairing"`).
|
||||
- **Exec approvals in Discord**: Discord supports a **button UI** for exec approvals in DMs (Allow once / Always allow / Deny). `/approve <id> ...` is only for forwarded approvals and won’t resolve Discord’s button prompts. If you see `❌ Failed to submit approval: Error: unknown approval id` or the UI never shows up, check:
|
||||
- `channels.discord.execApprovals.enabled: true` in your config.
|
||||
- Your Discord user ID is listed in `channels.discord.execApprovals.approvers` (the UI is only sent to approvers).
|
||||
- Use the buttons in the DM prompt (**Allow once**, **Always allow**, **Deny**).
|
||||
- See [Exec approvals](/tools/exec-approvals) and [Slash commands](/tools/slash-commands) for the broader approvals and command flow.
|
||||
|
||||
## Capabilities & limits
|
||||
|
||||
- DMs and guild text channels (threads are treated as separate channels; voice not supported).
|
||||
- Typing indicators sent best-effort; message chunking uses `channels.discord.textChunkLimit` (default 2000) and splits tall replies by line count (`channels.discord.maxLinesPerMessage`, default 17).
|
||||
- Optional newline chunking: set `channels.discord.chunkMode="newline"` to split on blank lines (paragraph boundaries) before length chunking.
|
||||
- File uploads supported up to the configured `channels.discord.mediaMaxMb` (default 8 MB).
|
||||
- Mention-gated guild replies by default to avoid noisy bots.
|
||||
- Reply context is injected when a message references another message (quoted content + ids).
|
||||
- Native reply threading is **off by default**; enable with `channels.discord.replyToMode` and reply tags.
|
||||
|
||||
## Retry policy
|
||||
|
||||
Outbound Discord API calls retry on rate limits (429) using Discord `retry_after` when available, with exponential backoff and jitter. Configure via `channels.discord.retry`. See [Retry policy](/concepts/retry).

},
|

},
|

},
|

},
|

},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Ack reactions are controlled globally via `messages.ackReaction` +
|
||||
`messages.ackReactionScope`. Use `messages.removeAckAfterReply` to clear the
|
||||
ack reaction after the bot replies.
|
||||
|
||||
- `dm.enabled`: set `false` to ignore all DMs (default `true`).
|
||||
- `dm.policy`: DM access control (`pairing` recommended). `"open"` requires `dm.allowFrom=["*"]`.
|
||||
- `dm.allowFrom`: DM allowlist (user ids or names). Used by `dm.policy="allowlist"` and for `dm.policy="open"` validation. The wizard accepts usernames and resolves them to ids when the bot can search members.
|
||||
- `dm.groupEnabled`: enable group DMs (default `false`).
|
||||
- `dm.groupChannels`: optional allowlist for group DM channel ids or slugs.
|
||||
- `groupPolicy`: controls guild channel handling (`open|disabled|allowlist`); `allowlist` requires channel allowlists.
|
||||
- `guilds`: per-guild rules keyed by guild id (preferred) or slug.
|
||||
- `guilds."*"`: default per-guild settings applied when no explicit entry exists.
|
||||
- `guilds.<id>.slug`: optional friendly slug used for display names.
|
||||
- `guilds.<id>.users`: optional per-guild user allowlist (ids or names).
|
||||
- `guilds.<id>.tools`: optional per-guild tool policy overrides (`allow`/`deny`/`alsoAllow`) used when the channel override is missing.
|
||||
- `guilds.<id>.toolsBySender`: optional per-sender tool policy overrides at the guild level (applies when the channel override is missing; `"*"` wildcard supported).
|
||||
- `guilds.<id>.channels.<channel>.allow`: allow/deny the channel when `groupPolicy="allowlist"`.
|
||||
- `guilds.<id>.channels.<channel>.requireMention`: mention gating for the channel.
|
||||
- `guilds.<id>.channels.<channel>.tools`: optional per-channel tool policy overrides (`allow`/`deny`/`alsoAllow`).
|
||||
- `guilds.<id>.channels.<channel>.toolsBySender`: optional per-sender tool policy overrides within the channel (`"*"` wildcard supported).
|
||||
- `guilds.<id>.channels.<channel>.users`: optional per-channel user allowlist.
|
||||
- `guilds.<id>.channels.<channel>.skills`: skill filter (omit = all skills, empty = none).
|
||||
- `guilds.<id>.channels.<channel>.systemPrompt`: extra system prompt for the channel. Discord channel topics are injected as **untrusted** context (not system prompt).
|
||||
- `guilds.<id>.channels.<channel>.enabled`: set `false` to disable the channel.
|
||||
- `guilds.<id>.channels`: channel rules (keys are channel slugs or ids).
|
||||
- `guilds.<id>.requireMention`: per-guild mention requirement (overridable per channel).
|
||||
- `guilds.<id>.reactionNotifications`: reaction system event mode (`off`, `own`, `all`, `allowlist`).
|
||||
- `textChunkLimit`: outbound text chunk size (chars). Default: 2000.
|
||||
- `chunkMode`: `length` (default) splits only when exceeding `textChunkLimit`; `newline` splits on blank lines (paragraph boundaries) before length chunking.
|
||||
- `maxLinesPerMessage`: soft max line count per message. Default: 17.
|
||||
- `mediaMaxMb`: clamp inbound media saved to disk.
|
||||
- `historyLimit`: number of recent guild messages to include as context when replying to a mention (default 20; falls back to `messages.groupChat.historyLimit`; `0` disables).
|
||||
- `dmHistoryLimit`: DM history limit in user turns. Per-user overrides: `dms["<user_id>"].historyLimit`.
|
||||
- `retry`: retry policy for outbound Discord API calls (attempts, minDelayMs, maxDelayMs, jitter).
|
||||
- `pluralkit`: resolve PluralKit proxied messages so system members appear as distinct senders.
|
||||
- `actions`: per-action tool gates; omit to allow all (set `false` to disable).
|
||||
- `reactions` (covers react + read reactions)
|
||||
- `stickers`, `emojiUploads`, `stickerUploads`, `polls`, `permissions`, `messages`, `threads`, `pins`, `search`
|
||||
- `memberInfo`, `roleInfo`, `channelInfo`, `voiceStatus`, `events`
|
||||
- `channels` (create/edit/delete channels + categories + permissions)
|
||||
- `roles` (role add/remove, default `false`)
|
||||
- `moderation` (timeout/kick/ban, default `false`)
|
||||
- `presence` (bot status/activity, default `false`)
|
||||
- `execApprovals`: Discord-only exec approval DMs (button UI). Supports `enabled`, `approvers`, `agentFilter`, `sessionFilter`.
|
||||
|
||||
Reaction notifications use `guilds.<id>.reactionNotifications`:
|
||||
|
||||
- `off`: no reaction events.
|
||||
- `own`: reactions on the bot's own messages (default).
|
||||
- `all`: all reactions on all messages.
|
||||
- `allowlist`: reactions from `guilds.<id>.users` on all messages (empty list disables).
|
||||
|
||||
### PluralKit (PK) support
|
||||
|
||||
Enable PK lookups so proxied messages resolve to the underlying system + member.
|
||||
When enabled, OpenClaw uses the member identity for allowlists and labels the
|
||||
sender as `Member (PK:System)` to avoid accidental Discord pings.
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
channels: {
|
||||
discord: {
|
||||
pluralkit: {
|
||||
enabled: true,
|
||||
token: "pk_live_...", // optional; required for private systems
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Allowlist notes (PK-enabled):
|
||||
|
||||
- Use `pk:<memberId>` in `dm.allowFrom`, `guilds.<id>.users`, or per-channel `users`.
|
||||
- Member display names are also matched by name/slug.
|
||||
- Lookups use the **original** Discord message ID (the pre-proxy message), so
|
||||
the PK API only resolves it within its 30-minute window.
|
||||
- If PK lookups fail (e.g., private system without a token), proxied messages
|
||||
are treated as bot messages and are dropped unless `channels.discord.allowBots=true`.
|
||||
|
||||
### Tool action defaults
|
||||
|
||||
| Action group | Default | Notes |
|
||||
| -------------- | -------- | ---------------------------------- |
|
||||
| reactions | enabled | React + list reactions + emojiList |
|
||||
| stickers | enabled | Send stickers |
|
||||
| emojiUploads | enabled | Upload emojis |
|
||||
| stickerUploads | enabled | Upload stickers |
|
||||
| polls | enabled | Create polls |
|
||||
| permissions | enabled | Channel permission snapshot |
|
||||
| messages | enabled | Read/send/edit/delete |
|
||||
| threads | enabled | Create/list/reply |
|
||||
| pins | enabled | Pin/unpin/list |
|
||||
| search | enabled | Message search (preview feature) |
|
||||
| memberInfo | enabled | Member info |
|
||||
| roleInfo | enabled | Role list |
|
||||
| channelInfo | enabled | Channel info + list |
|
||||
| channels | enabled | Channel/category management |
|
||||
| voiceStatus | enabled | Voice state lookup |
|
||||
| events | enabled | List/create scheduled events |
|
||||
| roles | disabled | Role add/remove |
|
||||
| moderation | disabled | Timeout/kick/ban |
|
||||
| presence | disabled | Bot status/activity (setPresence) |
|
||||
|
||||
- `replyToMode`: `off` (default), `first`, or `all`. Applies only when the model includes a reply tag.
|
||||
|
||||
## Reply tags
|
||||
|
||||
To request a threaded reply, the model can include one tag in its output:
|
||||
|
||||
- `[[reply_to_current]]` — reply to the triggering Discord message.
|
||||
- `[[reply_to:<id>]]` — reply to a specific message id from context/history.
|
||||
Current message ids are appended to prompts as `[message_id: …]`; history entries already include ids.
|
||||
|
||||
Behavior is controlled by `channels.discord.replyToMode`:
|
||||
|
||||
- `off`: ignore tags.
|
||||
- `first`: only the first outbound chunk/attachment is a reply.
|
||||
- `all`: every outbound chunk/attachment is a reply.
|
||||
|
||||
Allowlist matching notes:
|
||||
|
||||
- `allowFrom`/`users`/`groupChannels` accept ids, names, tags, or mentions like `<@id>`.
|
||||
- Prefixes like `discord:`/`user:` (users) and `channel:` (group DMs) are supported.
|
||||
- Use `*` to allow any sender/channel.
|
||||
- When `guilds.<id>.channels` is present, channels not listed are denied by default.
|
||||
- When `guilds.<id>.channels` is omitted, all channels in the allowlisted guild are allowed.
|
||||
- To allow **no channels**, set `channels.discord.groupPolicy: "disabled"` (or keep an empty allowlist).
|
||||
- The configure wizard accepts `Guild/Channel` names (public + private) and resolves them to IDs when possible.
|
||||
- On startup, OpenClaw resolves channel/user names in allowlists to IDs (when the bot can search members)
|
||||
and logs the mapping; unresolved entries are kept as typed.
|
||||
|
||||
Native command notes:
|
||||
|
||||
- The registered commands mirror OpenClaw’s chat commands.
|
||||
- Native commands honor the same allowlists as DMs/guild messages (`channels.discord.dm.allowFrom`, `channels.discord.guilds`, per-channel rules).
|
||||
- Slash commands may still be visible in Discord UI to users who aren’t allowlisted; OpenClaw enforces allowlists on execution and replies “not authorized”.
|
||||
|
||||
## Tool actions
|
||||
|
||||
The agent can call `discord` with actions like:
|
||||
|
||||
- `react` / `reactions` (add or list reactions)
|
||||
- `sticker`, `poll`, `permissions`
|
||||
- `readMessages`, `sendMessage`, `editMessage`, `deleteMessage`
|
||||
- Read/search/pin tool payloads include normalized `timestampMs` (UTC epoch ms) and `timestampUtc` alongside raw Discord `timestamp`.
|
||||
- `threadCreate`, `threadList`, `threadReply`
|
||||
- `pinMessage`, `unpinMessage`, `listPins`
|
||||
- `searchMessages`, `memberInfo`, `roleInfo`, `roleAdd`, `roleRemove`, `emojiList`
|
||||
- `channelInfo`, `channelList`, `voiceStatus`, `eventList`, `eventCreate`
|
||||
- `timeout`, `kick`, `ban`
|
||||
- `setPresence` (bot activity and online status)
|
||||
|
||||
Discord message ids are surfaced in the injected context (`[discord message id: …]` and history lines) so the agent can target them.
|
||||
Emoji can be unicode (e.g., `✅`) or custom emoji syntax like `<:party_blob:1234567890>`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Safety & ops
|
||||
|
||||
- Treat the bot token like a password; prefer the `DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN` env var on supervised hosts or lock down the config file permissions.
|
||||
- Only grant the bot permissions it needs (typically Read/Send Messages).
|
||||
- If the bot is stuck or rate limited, restart the gateway (`openclaw gateway --force`) after confirming no other processes own the Discord session.

# Feishu bot
|
||||
|
||||
Feishu (Lark) is a team chat platform used by companies for messaging and collaboration. This plugin connects OpenClaw to a Feishu/Lark bot using the platform’s WebSocket event subscription so messages can be received without exposing a public webhook URL.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Plugin required
|
||||
|
||||
Install the Feishu plugin:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw plugins install @openclaw/feishu
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Local checkout (when running from a git repo):
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw plugins install ./extensions/feishu
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Quickstart
|
||||
|
||||
There are two ways to add the Feishu channel:
|
||||
|
||||
### Method 1: onboarding wizard (recommended)
|
||||
|
||||
If you just installed OpenClaw, run the wizard:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw onboard
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The wizard guides you through:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Creating a Feishu app and collecting credentials
|
||||
2. Configuring app credentials in OpenClaw
|
||||
3. Starting the gateway
|
||||
|
||||
✅ **After configuration**, check gateway status:
|
||||
|
||||
- `openclaw gateway status`
|
||||
- `openclaw logs --follow`
|
||||
|
||||
### Method 2: CLI setup
|
||||
|
||||
If you already completed initial install, add the channel via CLI:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw channels add
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Choose **Feishu**, then enter the App ID and App Secret.
|
||||
|
||||
✅ **After configuration**, manage the gateway:
|
||||
|
||||
- `openclaw gateway status`
|
||||
- `openclaw gateway restart`
|
||||
- `openclaw logs --follow`
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Step 1: Create a Feishu app
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Open Feishu Open Platform
|
||||
|
||||
Visit [Feishu Open Platform](https://open.feishu.cn/app) and sign in.
|
||||
|
||||
Lark (global) tenants should use https://open.larksuite.com/app and set `domain: "lark"` in the Feishu config.
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Create an app
|
||||
|
||||
1. Click **Create enterprise app**
|
||||
2. Fill in the app name + description
|
||||
3. Choose an app icon
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Copy credentials
|
||||
|
||||
From **Credentials & Basic Info**, copy:
|
||||
|
||||
- **App ID** (format: `cli_xxx`)
|
||||
- **App Secret**
|
||||
|
||||
❗ **Important:** keep the App Secret private.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Configure permissions
|
||||
|
||||
On **Permissions**, click **Batch import** and paste:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"scopes": {
|
||||
"tenant": [
|
||||
"aily:file:read",
|
||||
"aily:file:write",
|
||||
"application:application.app_message_stats.overview:readonly",
|
||||
"application:application:self_manage",
|
||||
"application:bot.menu:write",
|
||||
"contact:user.employee_id:readonly",
|
||||
"corehr:file:download",
|
||||
"event:ip_list",
|
||||
"im:chat.access_event.bot_p2p_chat:read",
|
||||
"im:chat.members:bot_access",
|
||||
"im:message",
|
||||
"im:message.group_at_msg:readonly",
|
||||
"im:message.p2p_msg:readonly",
|
||||
"im:message:readonly",
|
||||
"im:message:send_as_bot",
|
||||
"im:resource"
|
||||
],
|
||||
"user": ["aily:file:read", "aily:file:write", "im:chat.access_event.bot_p2p_chat:read"]
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### 5. Enable bot capability
|
||||
|
||||
In **App Capability** > **Bot**:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Enable bot capability
|
||||
2. Set the bot name
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### 6. Configure event subscription
|
||||
|
||||
⚠️ **Important:** before setting event subscription, make sure:
|
||||
|
||||
1. You already ran `openclaw channels add` for Feishu
|
||||
2. The gateway is running (`openclaw gateway status`)
|
||||
|
||||
In **Event Subscription**:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Choose **Use long connection to receive events** (WebSocket)
|
||||
2. Add the event: `im.message.receive_v1`
|
||||
|
||||
⚠️ If the gateway is not running, the long-connection setup may fail to save.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### 7. Publish the app
|
||||
|
||||
1. Create a version in **Version Management & Release**
|
||||
2. Submit for review and publish
|
||||
3. Wait for admin approval (enterprise apps usually auto-approve)
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Step 2: Configure OpenClaw
|
||||
|
||||
### Configure with the wizard (recommended)
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw channels add
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Choose **Feishu** and paste your App ID + App Secret.
|
||||
|
||||
### Configure via config file
|
||||
|
||||
Edit `~/.openclaw/openclaw.json`:
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
channels: {
|
||||
feishu: {
|
||||
enabled: true,
|
||||
dmPolicy: "pairing",
|
||||
accounts: {
|
||||
main: {
|
||||
appId: "cli_xxx",
|
||||
appSecret: "xxx",
|
||||
botName: "My AI assistant",
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Configure via environment variables
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
export FEISHU_APP_ID="cli_xxx"
|
||||
export FEISHU_APP_SECRET="xxx"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Lark (global) domain
|
||||
|
||||
If your tenant is on Lark (international), set the domain to `lark` (or a full domain string). You can set it at `channels.feishu.domain` or per account (`channels.feishu.accounts.<id>.domain`).
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
channels: {
|
||||
feishu: {
|
||||
domain: "lark",
|
||||
accounts: {
|
||||
main: {
|
||||
appId: "cli_xxx",
|
||||
appSecret: "xxx",
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Step 3: Start + test
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Start the gateway
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw gateway
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Send a test message
|
||||
|
||||
In Feishu, find your bot and send a message.
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Approve pairing
|
||||
|
||||
By default, the bot replies with a pairing code. Approve it:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw pairing approve feishu <CODE>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
After approval, you can chat normally.
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
- **Feishu bot channel**: Feishu bot managed by the gateway
|
||||
- **Deterministic routing**: replies always return to Feishu
|
||||
- **Session isolation**: DMs share a main session; groups are isolated
|
||||
- **WebSocket connection**: long connection via Feishu SDK, no public URL needed
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Access control
|
||||
|
||||
### Direct messages
|
||||
|
||||
- **Default**: `dmPolicy: "pairing"` (unknown users get a pairing code)
|
||||
- **Approve pairing**:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw pairing list feishu
|
||||
openclaw pairing approve feishu <CODE>
|
||||
```
|
||||
- **Allowlist mode**: set `channels.feishu.allowFrom` with allowed Open IDs
|
||||
|
||||
### Group chats
|
||||
|
||||
**1. Group policy** (`channels.feishu.groupPolicy`):
|
||||
|
||||
- `"open"` = allow everyone in groups (default)
|
||||
- `"allowlist"` = only allow `groupAllowFrom`
|
||||
- `"disabled"` = disable group messages
|
||||
|
||||
**2. Mention requirement** (`channels.feishu.groups.<chat_id>.requireMention`):
|
||||
|
||||
- `true` = require @mention (default)
|
||||
- `false` = respond without mentions
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Group configuration examples
|
||||
|
||||
### Allow all groups, require @mention (default)
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
channels: {
|
||||
feishu: {
|
||||
groupPolicy: "open",
|
||||
// Default requireMention: true
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Allow all groups, no @mention required
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
channels: {
|
||||
feishu: {
|
||||
groups: {
|
||||
oc_xxx: { requireMention: false },
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Allow specific users in groups only
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
channels: {
|
||||
feishu: {
|
||||
groupPolicy: "allowlist",
|
||||
groupAllowFrom: ["ou_xxx", "ou_yyy"],
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Get group/user IDs
|
||||
|
||||
### Group IDs (chat_id)
|
||||
|
||||
Group IDs look like `oc_xxx`.
|
||||
|
||||
**Method 1 (recommended)**
|
||||
|
||||
1. Start the gateway and @mention the bot in the group
|
||||
2. Run `openclaw logs --follow` and look for `chat_id`
|
||||
|
||||
**Method 2**
|
||||
|
||||
Use the Feishu API debugger to list group chats.
|
||||
|
||||
### User IDs (open_id)
|
||||
|
||||
User IDs look like `ou_xxx`.
|
||||
|
||||
**Method 1 (recommended)**
|
||||
|
||||
1. Start the gateway and DM the bot
|
||||
2. Run `openclaw logs --follow` and look for `open_id`
|
||||
|
||||
**Method 2**
|
||||
|
||||
Check pairing requests for user Open IDs:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw pairing list feishu
|
||||
```
|
||||

## Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
### Bot does not respond in group chats
|
||||
|
||||
1. Ensure the bot is added to the group
|
||||
2. Ensure you @mention the bot (default behavior)
|
||||
3. Check `groupPolicy` is not set to `"disabled"`
|
||||
4. Check logs: `openclaw logs --follow`
|
||||
|
||||
### Bot does not receive messages
|
||||
|
||||
1. Ensure the app is published and approved
|
||||
2. Ensure event subscription includes `im.message.receive_v1`
|
||||
3. Ensure **long connection** is enabled
|
||||
4. Ensure app permissions are complete
|
||||
5. Ensure the gateway is running: `openclaw gateway status`
|
||||
6. Check logs: `openclaw logs --follow`
|
||||
|
||||
### App Secret leak
|
||||
|
||||
1. Reset the App Secret in Feishu Open Platform
|
||||
2. Update the App Secret in your config
|
||||
3. Restart the gateway
|
||||
|
||||
### Message send failures
|
||||
|
||||
1. Ensure the app has `im:message:send_as_bot` permission
|
||||
2. Ensure the app is published
|
||||
3. Check logs for detailed errors
|
||||
|

|
||||
|
||||
## Advanced configuration
|
||||
|
||||
### Multiple accounts
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
channels: {
|
||||
feishu: {
|
||||
accounts: {
|
||||
main: {
|
||||
appId: "cli_xxx",
|
||||
appSecret: "xxx",
|
||||
botName: "Primary bot",
|
||||
},
|
||||
backup: {
|
||||
appId: "cli_yyy",
|
||||
appSecret: "yyy",
|
||||
botName: "Backup bot",
|
||||
enabled: false,
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Message limits
|
||||
|
||||
- `textChunkLimit`: outbound text chunk size (default: 2000 chars)
|
||||
- `mediaMaxMb`: media upload/download limit (default: 30MB)
|
||||
|
||||
### Streaming
|
||||
|
||||
Feishu does not support message editing, so block streaming is enabled by default (`blockStreaming: true`). The bot waits for the full reply before sending.

# Google Chat (Chat API)
|
||||
|
||||
Status: ready for DMs + spaces via Google Chat API webhooks (HTTP only).
|
||||
|
||||
## Quick setup (beginner)
|
||||
|
||||
1. Create a Google Cloud project and enable the **Google Chat API**.
|
||||
- Go to: [Google Chat API Credentials](https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/api/chat.googleapis.com/credentials)
|
||||
- Enable the API if it is not already enabled.
|
||||
2. Create a **Service Account**:
|
||||
- Press **Create Credentials** > **Service Account**.
|
||||
- Name it whatever you want (e.g., `openclaw-chat`).
|
||||
- Leave permissions blank (press **Continue**).
|
||||
- Leave principals with access blank (press **Done**).
|
||||
3. Create and download the **JSON Key**:
|
||||
- In the list of service accounts, click on the one you just created.
|
||||
- Go to the **Keys** tab.
|
||||
- Click **Add Key** > **Create new key**.
|
||||
- Select **JSON** and press **Create**.
|
||||
4. Store the downloaded JSON file on your gateway host (e.g., `~/.openclaw/googlechat-service-account.json`).
|
||||
5. Create a Google Chat app in the [Google Cloud Console Chat Configuration](https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/api/chat.googleapis.com/hangouts-chat):
|
||||
- Fill in the **Application info**:
|
||||
- **App name**: (e.g. `OpenClaw`)
|
||||
- **Avatar URL**: (e.g. `https://openclaw.ai/logo.png`)
|
||||
- **Description**: (e.g. `Personal AI Assistant`)
|
||||
- Enable **Interactive features**.
|
||||
- Under **Functionality**, check **Join spaces and group conversations**.
|
||||
- Under **Connection settings**, select **HTTP endpoint URL**.
|
||||
- Under **Triggers**, select **Use a common HTTP endpoint URL for all triggers** and set it to your gateway's public URL followed by `/googlechat`.
|
||||
- _Tip: Run `openclaw status` to find your gateway's public URL._
|
||||
- Under **Visibility**, check **Make this Chat app available to specific people and groups in <Your Domain>**.
|
||||
- Enter your email address (e.g. `user@example.com`) in the text box.
|
||||
- Click **Save** at the bottom.
|
||||
6. **Enable the app status**:
|
||||
- After saving, **refresh the page**.
|
||||
- Look for the **App status** section (usually near the top or bottom after saving).
|
||||
- Change the status to **Live - available to users**.
|
||||
- Click **Save** again.
|
||||
7. Configure OpenClaw with the service account path + webhook audience:
|
||||
- Env: `GOOGLE_CHAT_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_FILE=/path/to/service-account.json`
|
||||
- Or config: `channels.googlechat.serviceAccountFile: "/path/to/service-account.json"`.
|
||||
8. Set the webhook audience type + value (matches your Chat app config).
|
||||
9. Start the gateway. Google Chat will POST to your webhook path.
|
||||
|
||||
## Add to Google Chat
|
||||
|
||||
Once the gateway is running and your email is added to the visibility list:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Go to [Google Chat](https://chat.google.com/).
|
||||
2. Click the **+** (plus) icon next to **Direct Messages**.
|
||||
3. In the search bar (where you usually add people), type the **App name** you configured in the Google Cloud Console.
|
||||
- **Note**: The bot will _not_ appear in the "Marketplace" browse list because it is a private app. You must search for it by name.
|
||||
4. Select your bot from the results.
|
||||
5. Click **Add** or **Chat** to start a 1:1 conversation.
|
||||
6. Send "Hello" to trigger the assistant!
|
||||
|
||||
## Public URL (Webhook-only)
|
||||
|
||||
Google Chat webhooks require a public HTTPS endpoint. For security, **only expose the `/googlechat` path** to the internet. Keep the OpenClaw dashboard and other sensitive endpoints on your private network.
|
||||
|
||||
### Option A: Tailscale Funnel (Recommended)
|
||||
|
||||
Use Tailscale Serve for the private dashboard and Funnel for the public webhook path. This keeps `/` private while exposing only `/googlechat`.
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Check what address your gateway is bound to:**
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
ss -tlnp | grep 18789
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Note the IP address (e.g., `127.0.0.1`, `0.0.0.0`, or your Tailscale IP like `100.x.x.x`).
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Expose the dashboard to the tailnet only (port 8443):**
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# If bound to localhost (127.0.0.1 or 0.0.0.0):
|
||||
tailscale serve --bg --https 8443 http://127.0.0.1:18789
|
||||
|
||||
# If bound to Tailscale IP only (e.g., 100.106.161.80):
|
||||
tailscale serve --bg --https 8443 http://100.106.161.80:18789
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Expose only the webhook path publicly:**
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# If bound to localhost (127.0.0.1 or 0.0.0.0):
|
||||
tailscale funnel --bg --set-path /googlechat http://127.0.0.1:18789/googlechat
|
||||
|
||||
# If bound to Tailscale IP only (e.g., 100.106.161.80):
|
||||
tailscale funnel --bg --set-path /googlechat http://100.106.161.80:18789/googlechat
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Authorize the node for Funnel access:**
|
||||
If prompted, visit the authorization URL shown in the output to enable Funnel for this node in your tailnet policy.
|
||||
|
||||
5. **Verify the configuration:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
tailscale serve status
|
||||
tailscale funnel status
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Your public webhook URL will be:
|
||||
`https://<node-name>.<tailnet>.ts.net/googlechat`
|
||||
|
||||
Your private dashboard stays tailnet-only:
|
||||
`https://<node-name>.<tailnet>.ts.net:8443/`
|
||||
|
||||
Use the public URL (without `:8443`) in the Google Chat app config.
|
||||
|
||||
> Note: This configuration persists across reboots. To remove it later, run `tailscale funnel reset` and `tailscale serve reset`.
|
||||
|
||||
### Option B: Reverse Proxy (Caddy)
|
||||
|
||||
If you use a reverse proxy like Caddy, only proxy the specific path:
|
||||
|
||||
```caddy
|
||||
your-domain.com {
|
||||
reverse_proxy /googlechat* localhost:18789
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
With this config, any request to `your-domain.com/` will be ignored or returned as 404, while `your-domain.com/googlechat` is safely routed to OpenClaw.
|
||||
|
||||
### Option C: Cloudflare Tunnel
|
||||
|
||||
Configure your tunnel's ingress rules to only route the webhook path:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Path**: `/googlechat` -> `http://localhost:18789/googlechat`
|
||||
- **Default Rule**: HTTP 404 (Not Found)
|
||||
|
||||
## How it works
|
||||
|
||||
1. Google Chat sends webhook POSTs to the gateway. Each request includes an `Authorization: Bearer <token>` header.
|
||||
2. OpenClaw verifies the token against the configured `audienceType` + `audience`:
|
||||
- `audienceType: "app-url"` → audience is your HTTPS webhook URL.
|
||||
- `audienceType: "project-number"` → audience is the Cloud project number.
|
||||
3. Messages are routed by space:
|
||||
- DMs use session key `agent:<agentId>:googlechat:dm:<spaceId>`.
|
||||
- Spaces use session key `agent:<agentId>:googlechat:group:<spaceId>`.
|
||||
4. DM access is pairing by default. Unknown senders receive a pairing code; approve with:
|
||||
- `openclaw pairing approve googlechat <code>`
|
||||
5. Group spaces require @-mention by default. Use `botUser` if mention detection needs the app’s user name.
|
||||
|
||||
## Targets
|
||||
|
||||
Use these identifiers for delivery and allowlists:
|
||||
|
||||
- Direct messages: `users/<userId>` or `users/<email>` (email addresses are accepted).
|
||||
- Spaces: `spaces/<spaceId>`.
|
||||
|
||||

mediaMaxMb: 20,
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Notes:
|
||||
|
||||
- Service account credentials can also be passed inline with `serviceAccount` (JSON string).
|
||||
- Default webhook path is `/googlechat` if `webhookPath` isn’t set.
|
||||
- Reactions are available via the `reactions` tool and `channels action` when `actions.reactions` is enabled.
|
||||
- `typingIndicator` supports `none`, `message` (default), and `reaction` (reaction requires user OAuth).
|
||||
- Attachments are downloaded through the Chat API and stored in the media pipeline (size capped by `mediaMaxMb`).
|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
### 405 Method Not Allowed
|
||||
|
||||
If Google Cloud Logs Explorer shows errors like:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
status code: 405, reason phrase: HTTP error response: HTTP/1.1 405 Method Not Allowed
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This means the webhook handler isn't registered. Common causes:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Channel not configured**: The `channels.googlechat` section is missing from your config. Verify with:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw config get channels.googlechat
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If it returns "Config path not found", add the configuration (see [Config highlights](#config-highlights)).
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Plugin not enabled**: Check plugin status:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw plugins list | grep googlechat
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If it shows "disabled", add `plugins.entries.googlechat.enabled: true` to your config.
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Gateway not restarted**: After adding config, restart the gateway:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw gateway restart
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Verify the channel is running:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw channels status
|
||||
# Should show: Google Chat default: enabled, configured, ...
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Other issues
|
||||
|
||||
- Check `openclaw channels status --probe` for auth errors or missing audience config.
|
||||
- If no messages arrive, confirm the Chat app's webhook URL + event subscriptions.
|
||||
- If mention gating blocks replies, set `botUser` to the app's user resource name and verify `requireMention`.
|
||||
- Use `openclaw logs --follow` while sending a test message to see if requests reach the gateway.

# grammY Integration (Telegram Bot API)
|
||||
|
||||
# Why grammY
|
||||
|
||||
- TS-first Bot API client with built-in long-poll + webhook helpers, middleware, error handling, rate limiter.
|
||||
- Cleaner media helpers than hand-rolling fetch + FormData; supports all Bot API methods.
|
||||
- Extensible: proxy support via custom fetch, session middleware (optional), type-safe context.
|
||||
|
||||
# What we shipped
|
||||
|
||||
- **Single client path:** fetch-based implementation removed; grammY is now the sole Telegram client (send + gateway) with the grammY throttler enabled by default.
|
||||
- **Gateway:** `monitorTelegramProvider` builds a grammY `Bot`, wires mention/allowlist gating, media download via `getFile`/`download`, and delivers replies with `sendMessage/sendPhoto/sendVideo/sendAudio/sendDocument`. Supports long-poll or webhook via `webhookCallback`.
|
||||
- **Proxy:** optional `channels.telegram.proxy` uses `undici.ProxyAgent` through grammY’s `client.baseFetch`.
|
||||
- **Webhook support:** `webhook-set.ts` wraps `setWebhook/deleteWebhook`; `webhook.ts` hosts the callback with health + graceful shutdown. Gateway enables webhook mode when `channels.telegram.webhookUrl` + `channels.telegram.webhookSecret` are set (otherwise it long-polls).
|
||||
- **Sessions:** direct chats collapse into the agent main session (`agent:<agentId>:<mainKey>`); groups use `agent:<agentId>:telegram:group:<chatId>`; replies route back to the same channel.
|
||||
- **Config knobs:** `channels.telegram.botToken`, `channels.telegram.dmPolicy`, `channels.telegram.groups` (allowlist + mention defaults), `channels.telegram.allowFrom`, `channels.telegram.groupAllowFrom`, `channels.telegram.groupPolicy`, `channels.telegram.mediaMaxMb`, `channels.telegram.linkPreview`, `channels.telegram.proxy`, `channels.telegram.webhookSecret`, `channels.telegram.webhookUrl`.
|
||||
- **Draft streaming:** optional `channels.telegram.streamMode` uses `sendMessageDraft` in private topic chats (Bot API 9.3+). This is separate from channel block streaming.
|
||||
- **Tests:** grammy mocks cover DM + group mention gating and outbound send; more media/webhook fixtures still welcome.
|
||||
|
||||
Open questions
|
||||

# iMessage (legacy: imsg)
|
||||
|
||||
> **Recommended:** Use [BlueBubbles](/channels/bluebubbles) for new iMessage setups.
|
||||
>
|
||||
> The `imsg` channel is a legacy external-CLI integration and may be removed in a future release.
|
||||
|
||||
Status: legacy external CLI integration. Gateway spawns `imsg rpc` (JSON-RPC over stdio).
|
||||
|
||||
## Quick setup (beginner)
|
||||
|
||||
1. Ensure Messages is signed in on this Mac.
|
||||
2. Install `imsg`:
|
||||
- `brew install steipete/tap/imsg`
|
||||
3. Configure OpenClaw with `channels.imessage.cliPath` and `channels.imessage.dbPath`.
|
||||
4. Start the gateway and approve any macOS prompts (Automation + Full Disk Access).
|
||||
|
||||
Minimal config:
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
channels: {
|
||||
imessage: {
|
||||
enabled: true,
|
||||
cliPath: "/usr/local/bin/imsg",
|
||||
dbPath: "/Users/<you>/Library/Messages/chat.db",
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## What it is
|
||||
|
||||
- iMessage channel backed by `imsg` on macOS.
|
||||
- Deterministic routing: replies always go back to iMessage.
|
||||
- DMs share the agent's main session; groups are isolated (`agent:<agentId>:imessage:group:<chat_id>`).
|
||||
- If a multi-participant thread arrives with `is_group=false`, you can still isolate it by `chat_id` using `channels.imessage.groups` (see “Group-ish threads” below).
|
||||
|
||||
## Config writes
|
||||
|
||||
By default, iMessage is allowed to write config updates triggered by `/config set|unset` (requires `commands.config: true`).
|
||||
|
||||
Disable with:
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
channels: { imessage: { configWrites: false } },
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Requirements
|
||||
|
||||
- macOS with Messages signed in.
|
||||
- Full Disk Access for OpenClaw + `imsg` (Messages DB access).
|
||||
- Automation permission when sending.
|
||||
- `channels.imessage.cliPath` can point to any command that proxies stdin/stdout (for example, a wrapper script that SSHes to another Mac and runs `imsg rpc`).
|
||||
|
||||
## Setup (fast path)
|
||||
|
||||
1. Ensure Messages is signed in on this Mac.
|
||||
2. Configure iMessage and start the gateway.
|
||||
|
||||
### Dedicated bot macOS user (for isolated identity)
|
||||
|
||||
If you want the bot to send from a **separate iMessage identity** (and keep your personal Messages clean), use a dedicated Apple ID + a dedicated macOS user.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Create a dedicated Apple ID (example: `my-cool-bot@icloud.com`).
|
||||
- Apple may require a phone number for verification / 2FA.
|
||||
2. Create a macOS user (example: `openclawhome`) and sign into it.
|
||||
3. Open Messages in that macOS user and sign into iMessage using the bot Apple ID.
|
||||
4. Enable Remote Login (System Settings → General → Sharing → Remote Login).
|
||||
5. Install `imsg`:
|
||||
- `brew install steipete/tap/imsg`
|
||||
6. Set up SSH so `ssh <bot-macos-user>@localhost true` works without a password.
|
||||
7. Point `channels.imessage.accounts.bot.cliPath` at an SSH wrapper that runs `imsg` as the bot user.
|
||||
|
||||
First-run note: sending/receiving may require GUI approvals (Automation + Full Disk Access) in the _bot macOS user_. If `imsg rpc` looks stuck or exits, log into that user (Screen Sharing helps), run a one-time `imsg chats --limit 1` / `imsg send ...`, approve prompts, then retry.
|
||||
|
||||
Example wrapper (`chmod +x`). Replace `<bot-macos-user>` with your actual macOS username:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
#!/usr/bin/env bash
|
||||
set -euo pipefail
|
||||
|
||||
# Run an interactive SSH once first to accept host keys:
|
||||
# ssh <bot-macos-user>@localhost true
|
||||
exec /usr/bin/ssh -o BatchMode=yes -o ConnectTimeout=5 -T <bot-macos-user>@localhost \
|
||||
"/usr/local/bin/imsg" "$@"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Example config:
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
channels: {
|
||||
imessage: {
|
||||
enabled: true,
|
||||
accounts: {
|
||||
bot: {
|
||||
name: "Bot",
|
||||
enabled: true,
|
||||
cliPath: "/path/to/imsg-bot",
|
||||
dbPath: "/Users/<bot-macos-user>/Library/Messages/chat.db",
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
For single-account setups, use flat options (`channels.imessage.cliPath`, `channels.imessage.dbPath`) instead of the `accounts` map.
|
||||
|
||||
### Remote/SSH variant (optional)
|
||||
|
||||
If you want iMessage on another Mac, set `channels.imessage.cliPath` to a wrapper that runs `imsg` on the remote macOS host over SSH. OpenClaw only needs stdio.
|
||||
|
||||
Example wrapper:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
#!/usr/bin/env bash
|
||||
exec ssh -T gateway-host imsg "$@"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Remote attachments:** When `cliPath` points to a remote host via SSH, attachment paths in the Messages database reference files on the remote machine. OpenClaw can automatically fetch these over SCP by setting `channels.imessage.remoteHost`:
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
channels: {
|
||||
imessage: {
|
||||
cliPath: "~/imsg-ssh", // SSH wrapper to remote Mac
|
||||
remoteHost: "user@gateway-host", // for SCP file transfer
|
||||
includeAttachments: true,
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If `remoteHost` is not set, OpenClaw attempts to auto-detect it by parsing the SSH command in your wrapper script. Explicit configuration is recommended for reliability.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Remote Mac via Tailscale (example)
|
||||
|
||||
If the Gateway runs on a Linux host/VM but iMessage must run on a Mac, Tailscale is the simplest bridge: the Gateway talks to the Mac over the tailnet, runs `imsg` via SSH, and SCPs attachments back.
|
||||
|
||||
Architecture:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
┌──────────────────────────────┐ SSH (imsg rpc) ┌──────────────────────────┐
|
||||
│ Gateway host (Linux/VM) │──────────────────────────────────▶│ Mac with Messages + imsg │
|
||||
│ - openclaw gateway │ SCP (attachments) │ - Messages signed in │
|
||||
│ - channels.imessage.cliPath │◀──────────────────────────────────│ - Remote Login enabled │
|
||||
└──────────────────────────────┘ └──────────────────────────┘
|
||||
▲
|
||||
│ Tailscale tailnet (hostname or 100.x.y.z)
|
||||
▼
|
||||
user@gateway-host
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Concrete config example (Tailscale hostname):
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
channels: {
|
||||
imessage: {
|
||||
enabled: true,
|
||||
cliPath: "~/.openclaw/scripts/imsg-ssh",
|
||||
remoteHost: "bot@mac-mini.tailnet-1234.ts.net",
|
||||
includeAttachments: true,
|
||||
dbPath: "/Users/bot/Library/Messages/chat.db",
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Example wrapper (`~/.openclaw/scripts/imsg-ssh`):
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
#!/usr/bin/env bash
|
||||
exec ssh -T bot@mac-mini.tailnet-1234.ts.net imsg "$@"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Notes:
|
||||
|
||||
- Ensure the Mac is signed in to Messages, and Remote Login is enabled.
|
||||
- Use SSH keys so `ssh bot@mac-mini.tailnet-1234.ts.net` works without prompts.
|
||||
- `remoteHost` should match the SSH target so SCP can fetch attachments.
|
||||
|
||||
Multi-account support: use `channels.imessage.accounts` with per-account config and optional `name`. See [`gateway/configuration`](/gateway/configuration#telegramaccounts--discordaccounts--slackaccounts--signalaccounts--imessageaccounts) for the shared pattern. Don't commit `~/.openclaw/openclaw.json` (it often contains tokens).
|
||||
|
||||
## Access control (DMs + groups)
|
||||
|
||||
DMs:
|
||||
|
||||
- Default: `channels.imessage.dmPolicy = "pairing"`.
|
||||
- Unknown senders receive a pairing code; messages are ignored until approved (codes expire after 1 hour).
|
||||
- Approve via:
|
||||
- `openclaw pairing list imessage`
|
||||
- `openclaw pairing approve imessage <CODE>`
|
||||
- Pairing is the default token exchange for iMessage DMs. Details: [Pairing](/start/pairing)
|
||||
|
||||
Groups:
|
||||
|
||||
- `channels.imessage.groupPolicy = open | allowlist | disabled`.
|
||||
- `channels.imessage.groupAllowFrom` controls who can trigger in groups when `allowlist` is set.
|
||||
- Mention gating uses `agents.list[].groupChat.mentionPatterns` (or `messages.groupChat.mentionPatterns`) because iMessage has no native mention metadata.
|
||||
- Multi-agent override: set per-agent patterns on `agents.list[].groupChat.mentionPatterns`.
|
||||
|
||||
## How it works (behavior)
|
||||
|
||||
- `imsg` streams message events; the gateway normalizes them into the shared channel envelope.
|
||||
- Replies always route back to the same chat id or handle.
|
||||
|
||||
## Group-ish threads (`is_group=false`)
|
||||
|
||||
Some iMessage threads can have multiple participants but still arrive with `is_group=false` depending on how Messages stores the chat identifier.
|
||||
|
||||
If you explicitly configure a `chat_id` under `channels.imessage.groups`, OpenClaw treats that thread as a “group” for:
|
||||
|
||||
- session isolation (separate `agent:<agentId>:imessage:group:<chat_id>` session key)
|
||||
- group allowlisting / mention gating behavior
|
||||
|
||||
Example:
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
channels: {
|
||||
imessage: {
|
||||
groupPolicy: "allowlist",
|
||||
groupAllowFrom: ["+15555550123"],
|
||||
groups: {
|
||||
"42": { requireMention: false },
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This is useful when you want an isolated personality/model for a specific thread (see [Multi-agent routing](/concepts/multi-agent)). For filesystem isolation, see [Sandboxing](/gateway/sandboxing).
|
||||
|
||||
## Media + limits
|
||||
|
||||
- Optional attachment ingestion via `channels.imessage.includeAttachments`.
|
||||
- Media cap via `channels.imessage.mediaMaxMb`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Limits
|
||||
|
||||
- Outbound text is chunked to `channels.imessage.textChunkLimit` (default 4000).
|
||||
- Optional newline chunking: set `channels.imessage.chunkMode="newline"` to split on blank lines (paragraph boundaries) before length chunking.
|
||||
- Media uploads are capped by `channels.imessage.mediaMaxMb` (default 16).
|
||||
|
||||
## Addressing / delivery targets
|
||||
|
||||
Prefer `chat_id` for stable routing:
|
||||
|
||||
- `chat_id:123` (preferred)
|
||||
- `chat_guid:...`
|
||||
- `chat_identifier:...`
|
||||
- direct handles: `imessage:+1555` / `sms:+1555` / `user@example.com`
|
||||
|
||||
List chats:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
imsg chats --limit 20
|
||||
```

# Chat Channels
|
||||
|
||||
OpenClaw can talk to you on any chat app you already use. Each channel connects via the Gateway.
|
||||
Text is supported everywhere; media and reactions vary by channel.
|
||||
|
||||
## Supported channels
|
||||
|
||||
- [WhatsApp](/channels/whatsapp) — Most popular; uses Baileys and requires QR pairing.
|
||||
- [Telegram](/channels/telegram) — Bot API via grammY; supports groups.
|
||||
- [Discord](/channels/discord) — Discord Bot API + Gateway; supports servers, channels, and DMs.
|
||||
- [Slack](/channels/slack) — Bolt SDK; workspace apps.
|
||||
- [Feishu](/channels/feishu) — Feishu/Lark bot via WebSocket (plugin, installed separately).
|
||||
- [Google Chat](/channels/googlechat) — Google Chat API app via HTTP webhook.
|
||||
- [Mattermost](/channels/mattermost) — Bot API + WebSocket; channels, groups, DMs (plugin, installed separately).
|
||||
- [Signal](/channels/signal) — signal-cli; privacy-focused.
|
||||
- [BlueBubbles](/channels/bluebubbles) — **Recommended for iMessage**; uses the BlueBubbles macOS server REST API with full feature support (edit, unsend, effects, reactions, group management — edit currently broken on macOS 26 Tahoe).
|
||||
- [iMessage (legacy)](/channels/imessage) — Legacy macOS integration via imsg CLI (deprecated, use BlueBubbles for new setups).
|
||||
- [Microsoft Teams](/channels/msteams) — Bot Framework; enterprise support (plugin, installed separately).
|
||||
- [LINE](/channels/line) — LINE Messaging API bot (plugin, installed separately).
|
||||
- [Nextcloud Talk](/channels/nextcloud-talk) — Self-hosted chat via Nextcloud Talk (plugin, installed separately).
|
||||
- [Matrix](/channels/matrix) — Matrix protocol (plugin, installed separately).
|
||||
- [Nostr](/channels/nostr) — Decentralized DMs via NIP-04 (plugin, installed separately).
|
||||
- [Tlon](/channels/tlon) — Urbit-based messenger (plugin, installed separately).
|
||||
- [Twitch](/channels/twitch) — Twitch chat via IRC connection (plugin, installed separately).
|
||||
- [Zalo](/channels/zalo) — Zalo Bot API; Vietnam's popular messenger (plugin, installed separately).
|
||||
- [Zalo Personal](/channels/zalouser) — Zalo personal account via QR login (plugin, installed separately).
|
||||
- [WebChat](/web/webchat) — Gateway WebChat UI over WebSocket.
|
||||
|
||||
## Notes
|
||||
|
||||
- Channels can run simultaneously; configure multiple and OpenClaw will route per chat.
|
||||
- Fastest setup is usually **Telegram** (simple bot token). WhatsApp requires QR pairing and
|
||||
stores more state on disk.
|
||||
- Group behavior varies by channel; see [Groups](/concepts/groups).
|
||||
- DM pairing and allowlists are enforced for safety; see [Security](/gateway/security).
|
||||
- Telegram internals: [grammY notes](/channels/grammy).

||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw plugins install @openclaw/line
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Local checkout (when running from a git repo):
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw plugins install ./extensions/line
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Setup
|
||||
|
||||
1. Create a LINE Developers account and open the Console:
|
||||
https://developers.line.biz/console/
|
||||
2. Create (or pick) a Provider and add a **Messaging API** channel.
|
||||
3. Copy the **Channel access token** and **Channel secret** from the channel settings.
|
||||
4. Enable **Use webhook** in the Messaging API settings.
|
||||
5. Set the webhook URL to your gateway endpoint (HTTPS required):
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
https://gateway-host/line/webhook
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The gateway responds to LINE’s webhook verification (GET) and inbound events (POST).
|
||||
If you need a custom path, set `channels.line.webhookPath` or
|
||||
`channels.line.accounts.<id>.webhookPath` and update the URL accordingly.
|
||||
|
||||
## Configure
|
||||
|
||||
Minimal config:
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
channels: {
|
||||
line: {
|
||||
enabled: true,
|
||||
channelAccessToken: "LINE_CHANNEL_ACCESS_TOKEN",
|
||||
channelSecret: "LINE_CHANNEL_SECRET",
|
||||
dmPolicy: "pairing",
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Env vars (default account only):
|
||||
|
||||
- `LINE_CHANNEL_ACCESS_TOKEN`
|
||||
- `LINE_CHANNEL_SECRET`
|
||||
|
||||
Token/secret files:
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
channels: {
|
||||
line: {
|
||||
tokenFile: "/path/to/line-token.txt",
|
||||
secretFile: "/path/to/line-secret.txt",
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Multiple accounts:
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
channels: {
|
||||
line: {
|
||||
accounts: {
|
||||
marketing: {
|
||||
channelAccessToken: "...",
|
||||
channelSecret: "...",
|
||||
webhookPath: "/line/marketing",
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Access control
|
||||
|
||||
Direct messages default to pairing. Unknown senders get a pairing code and their
|
||||
messages are ignored until approved.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw pairing list line
|
||||
openclaw pairing approve line <CODE>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Allowlists and policies:
|
||||
|
||||
- `channels.line.dmPolicy`: `pairing | allowlist | open | disabled`
|
||||
- `channels.line.allowFrom`: allowlisted LINE user IDs for DMs
|
||||
- `channels.line.groupPolicy`: `allowlist | open | disabled`
|
||||
- `channels.line.groupAllowFrom`: allowlisted LINE user IDs for groups
|
||||
- Per-group overrides: `channels.line.groups.<groupId>.allowFrom`
|
||||
|
||||
LINE IDs are case-sensitive. Valid IDs look like:
|
||||
|
||||
- User: `U` + 32 hex chars
|
||||
- Group: `C` + 32 hex chars
|
||||
- Room: `R` + 32 hex chars
|
||||
|
||||
## Message behavior
|
||||
|
||||
- Text is chunked at 5000 characters.
|
||||
- Markdown formatting is stripped; code blocks and tables are converted into Flex
|
||||
cards when possible.
|
||||
- Streaming responses are buffered; LINE receives full chunks with a loading
|
||||
animation while the agent works.
|
||||
- Media downloads are capped by `channels.line.mediaMaxMb` (default 10).
|
||||
|
||||
## Channel data (rich messages)
|
||||
|
||||
Use `channelData.line` to send quick replies, locations, Flex cards, or template
|
||||
messages.
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
text: "Here you go",
|
||||
channelData: {
|
||||
line: {
|
||||
quickReplies: ["Status", "Help"],
|
||||
location: {
|
||||
title: "Office",
|
||||
address: "123 Main St",
|
||||
latitude: 35.681236,
|
||||
longitude: 139.767125,
|
||||
},
|
||||
flexMessage: {
|
||||
altText: "Status card",
|
||||
contents: {
|
||||
/* Flex payload */
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
templateMessage: {
|
||||
type: "confirm",
|
||||
text: "Proceed?",
|
||||
confirmLabel: "Yes",
|
||||
confirmData: "yes",
|
||||
cancelLabel: "No",
|
||||
cancelData: "no",
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The LINE plugin also ships a `/card` command for Flex message presets:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
/card info "Welcome" "Thanks for joining!"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
- **Webhook verification fails:** ensure the webhook URL is HTTPS and the
|
||||
`channelSecret` matches the LINE console.
|
||||
- **No inbound events:** confirm the webhook path matches `channels.line.webhookPath`
|
||||
and that the gateway is reachable from LINE.
|
||||
- **Media download errors:** raise `channels.line.mediaMaxMb` if media exceeds the
|
||||
default limit.

# Channel location parsing
|
||||
|
||||
OpenClaw normalizes shared locations from chat channels into:
|
||||
|
||||
- human-readable text appended to the inbound body, and
|
||||
- structured fields in the auto-reply context payload.
|
||||
|
||||
Currently supported:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Telegram** (location pins + venues + live locations)
|
||||
- **WhatsApp** (locationMessage + liveLocationMessage)
|
||||
- **Matrix** (`m.location` with `geo_uri`)
|
||||
|
||||
## Text formatting
|
||||
|
||||
Locations are rendered as friendly lines without brackets:
|
||||
|
||||
- Pin:
|
||||
- `📍 48.858844, 2.294351 ±12m`
|
||||
- Named place:
|
||||
- `📍 Eiffel Tower — Champ de Mars, Paris (48.858844, 2.294351 ±12m)`
|
||||
- Live share:
|
||||
- `🛰 Live location: 48.858844, 2.294351 ±12m`
|
||||
|
||||
If the channel includes a caption/comment, it is appended on the next line:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
📍 48.858844, 2.294351 ±12m
|
||||
Meet here
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Context fields
|
||||
|
||||
When a location is present, these fields are added to `ctx`:
|
||||
|
||||
- `LocationLat` (number)
|
||||
- `LocationLon` (number)
|
||||
- `LocationAccuracy` (number, meters; optional)
|
||||
- `LocationName` (string; optional)
|
||||
- `LocationAddress` (string; optional)
|
||||
- `LocationSource` (`pin | place | live`)
|
||||
- `LocationIsLive` (boolean)
|
||||
|
||||
## Channel notes
|
||||
|
||||
- **Telegram**: venues map to `LocationName/LocationAddress`; live locations use `live_period`.
|
||||
- **WhatsApp**: `locationMessage.comment` and `liveLocationMessage.caption` are appended as the caption line.
|
||||
- **Matrix**: `geo_uri` is parsed as a pin location; altitude is ignored and `LocationIsLive` is always false.

# Matrix (plugin)
|
||||
|
||||
Matrix is an open, decentralized messaging protocol. OpenClaw connects as a Matrix **user**
|
||||
on any homeserver, so you need a Matrix account for the bot. Once it is logged in, you can DM
|
||||
the bot directly or invite it to rooms (Matrix "groups"). Beeper is a valid client option too,
|
||||
but it requires E2EE to be enabled.
|
||||
|
||||
Status: supported via plugin (@vector-im/matrix-bot-sdk). Direct messages, rooms, threads, media, reactions,
|
||||
polls (send + poll-start as text), location, and E2EE (with crypto support).
|
||||
|
||||
## Plugin required
|
||||
|
||||
Matrix ships as a plugin and is not bundled with the core install.
|
||||
|
||||
Install via CLI (npm registry):
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw plugins install @openclaw/matrix
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Local checkout (when running from a git repo):
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw plugins install ./extensions/matrix
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If you choose Matrix during configure/onboarding and a git checkout is detected,
|
||||
OpenClaw will offer the local install path automatically.
|
||||
|
||||
Details: [Plugins](/plugin)
|
||||
|
||||
## Setup
|
||||
|
||||
1. Install the Matrix plugin:
|
||||
- From npm: `openclaw plugins install @openclaw/matrix`
|
||||
- From a local checkout: `openclaw plugins install ./extensions/matrix`
|
||||
2. Create a Matrix account on a homeserver:
|
||||
- Browse hosting options at [https://matrix.org/ecosystem/hosting/](https://matrix.org/ecosystem/hosting/)
|
||||
- Or host it yourself.
|
||||
3. Get an access token for the bot account:
|
||||
- Use the Matrix login API with `curl` at your home server:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
curl --request POST \
|
||||
--url https://matrix.example.org/_matrix/client/v3/login \
|
||||
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
|
||||
--data '{
|
||||
"type": "m.login.password",
|
||||
"identifier": {
|
||||
"type": "m.id.user",
|
||||
"user": "your-user-name"
|
||||
},
|
||||
"password": "your-password"
|
||||
}'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
- Replace `matrix.example.org` with your homeserver URL.
|
||||
- Or set `channels.matrix.userId` + `channels.matrix.password`: OpenClaw calls the same
|
||||
login endpoint, stores the access token in `~/.openclaw/credentials/matrix/credentials.json`,
|
||||
and reuses it on next start.
|
||||
|
||||
4. Configure credentials:
|
||||
- Env: `MATRIX_HOMESERVER`, `MATRIX_ACCESS_TOKEN` (or `MATRIX_USER_ID` + `MATRIX_PASSWORD`)
|
||||
- Or config: `channels.matrix.*`
|
||||
- If both are set, config takes precedence.
|
||||
- With access token: user ID is fetched automatically via `/whoami`.
|
||||
- When set, `channels.matrix.userId` should be the full Matrix ID (example: `@bot:example.org`).
|
||||
5. Restart the gateway (or finish onboarding).
|
||||
6. Start a DM with the bot or invite it to a room from any Matrix client
|
||||
(Element, Beeper, etc.; see https://matrix.org/ecosystem/clients/). Beeper requires E2EE,
|
||||
so set `channels.matrix.encryption: true` and verify the device.
|
||||
|
||||
Minimal config (access token, user ID auto-fetched):
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
channels: {
|
||||
matrix: {
|
||||
enabled: true,
|
||||
homeserver: "https://matrix.example.org",
|
||||
accessToken: "syt_***",
|
||||
dm: { policy: "pairing" },
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
E2EE config (end to end encryption enabled):
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
channels: {
|
||||
matrix: {
|
||||
enabled: true,
|
||||
homeserver: "https://matrix.example.org",
|
||||
accessToken: "syt_***",
|
||||
encryption: true,
|
||||
dm: { policy: "pairing" },
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Encryption (E2EE)
|
||||
|
||||
End-to-end encryption is **supported** via the Rust crypto SDK.
|
||||
|
||||
Enable with `channels.matrix.encryption: true`:
|
||||
|
||||
- If the crypto module loads, encrypted rooms are decrypted automatically.
|
||||
- Outbound media is encrypted when sending to encrypted rooms.
|
||||
- On first connection, OpenClaw requests device verification from your other sessions.
|
||||
- Verify the device in another Matrix client (Element, etc.) to enable key sharing.
|
||||
- If the crypto module cannot be loaded, E2EE is disabled and encrypted rooms will not decrypt;
|
||||
OpenClaw logs a warning.
|
||||
- If you see missing crypto module errors (for example, `@matrix-org/matrix-sdk-crypto-nodejs-*`),
|
||||
allow build scripts for `@matrix-org/matrix-sdk-crypto-nodejs` and run
|
||||
`pnpm rebuild @matrix-org/matrix-sdk-crypto-nodejs` or fetch the binary with
|
||||
`node node_modules/@matrix-org/matrix-sdk-crypto-nodejs/download-lib.js`.
|
||||
|
||||
Crypto state is stored per account + access token in
|
||||
`~/.openclaw/matrix/accounts/<account>/<homeserver>__<user>/<token-hash>/crypto/`
|
||||
(SQLite database). Sync state lives alongside it in `bot-storage.json`.
|
||||
If the access token (device) changes, a new store is created and the bot must be
|
||||
re-verified for encrypted rooms.
|
||||
|
||||
**Device verification:**
|
||||
When E2EE is enabled, the bot will request verification from your other sessions on startup.
|
||||
Open Element (or another client) and approve the verification request to establish trust.
|
||||
Once verified, the bot can decrypt messages in encrypted rooms.
|
||||
|
||||
## Routing model
|
||||
|
||||
- Replies always go back to Matrix.
|
||||
- DMs share the agent's main session; rooms map to group sessions.
|
||||
|
||||
## Access control (DMs)
|
||||
|
||||
- Default: `channels.matrix.dm.policy = "pairing"`. Unknown senders get a pairing code.
|
||||
- Approve via:
|
||||
- `openclaw pairing list matrix`
|
||||
- `openclaw pairing approve matrix <CODE>`
|
||||
- Public DMs: `channels.matrix.dm.policy="open"` plus `channels.matrix.dm.allowFrom=["*"]`.
|
||||
- `channels.matrix.dm.allowFrom` accepts full Matrix user IDs (example: `@user:server`). The wizard resolves display names to user IDs when directory search finds a single exact match.
|
||||
|
||||
## Rooms (groups)
|
||||
|
||||
- Default: `channels.matrix.groupPolicy = "allowlist"` (mention-gated). Use `channels.defaults.groupPolicy` to override the default when unset.
|
||||
- Allowlist rooms with `channels.matrix.groups` (room IDs or aliases; names are resolved to IDs when directory search finds a single exact match):
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
channels: {
|
||||
matrix: {
|
||||
groupPolicy: "allowlist",
|
||||
groups: {
|
||||
"!roomId:example.org": { allow: true },
|
||||
"#alias:example.org": { allow: true },
|
||||
},
|
||||
groupAllowFrom: ["@owner:example.org"],
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
- `requireMention: false` enables auto-reply in that room.
|
||||
- `groups."*"` can set defaults for mention gating across rooms.
|
||||
- `groupAllowFrom` restricts which senders can trigger the bot in rooms (full Matrix user IDs).
|
||||
- Per-room `users` allowlists can further restrict senders inside a specific room (use full Matrix user IDs).
|
||||
- The configure wizard prompts for room allowlists (room IDs, aliases, or names) and resolves names only on an exact, unique match.
|
||||
- On startup, OpenClaw resolves room/user names in allowlists to IDs and logs the mapping; unresolved entries are ignored for allowlist matching.
|
||||
- Invites are auto-joined by default; control with `channels.matrix.autoJoin` and `channels.matrix.autoJoinAllowlist`.
|
||||
- To allow **no rooms**, set `channels.matrix.groupPolicy: "disabled"` (or keep an empty allowlist).
|
||||
- Legacy key: `channels.matrix.rooms` (same shape as `groups`).
|
||||
|
||||
## Threads
|
||||
|
||||
- Reply threading is supported.
|
||||
- `channels.matrix.threadReplies` controls whether replies stay in threads:
|
||||
- `off`, `inbound` (default), `always`
|
||||
- `channels.matrix.replyToMode` controls reply-to metadata when not replying in a thread:
|
||||
- `off` (default), `first`, `all`
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
4. Configure OpenClaw and start the gateway.
|
||||
|
||||
Minimal config:
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
channels: {
|
||||
mattermost: {
|
||||
enabled: true,
|
||||
botToken: "mm-token",
|
||||
baseUrl: "https://chat.example.com",
|
||||
dmPolicy: "pairing",
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Environment variables (default account)
|
||||
|
||||
Set these on the gateway host if you prefer env vars:
|
||||
|
||||
- `MATTERMOST_BOT_TOKEN=...`
|
||||
- `MATTERMOST_URL=https://chat.example.com`
|
||||
|
||||
Env vars apply only to the **default** account (`default`). Other accounts must use config values.
|
||||
|
||||
## Chat modes
|
||||
|
||||
Mattermost responds to DMs automatically. Channel behavior is controlled by `chatmode`:
|
||||
|
||||
- `oncall` (default): respond only when @mentioned in channels.
|
||||
- `onmessage`: respond to every channel message.
|
||||
- `onchar`: respond when a message starts with a trigger prefix.
|
||||
|
||||
Config example:
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
channels: {
|
||||
mattermost: {
|
||||
chatmode: "onchar",
|
||||
oncharPrefixes: [">", "!"],
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Notes:
|
||||
|
||||
- `onchar` still responds to explicit @mentions.
|
||||
- `channels.mattermost.requireMention` is honored for legacy configs but `chatmode` is preferred.
|
||||
|
||||
## Access control (DMs)
|
||||
|
||||
- Default: `channels.mattermost.dmPolicy = "pairing"` (unknown senders get a pairing code).
|
||||
- Approve via:
|
||||
- `openclaw pairing list mattermost`
|
||||
- `openclaw pairing approve mattermost <CODE>`
|
||||
- Public DMs: `channels.mattermost.dmPolicy="open"` plus `channels.mattermost.allowFrom=["*"]`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Channels (groups)
|
||||
|
||||
- Default: `channels.mattermost.groupPolicy = "allowlist"` (mention-gated).
|
||||
- Allowlist senders with `channels.mattermost.groupAllowFrom` (user IDs or `@username`).
|
||||
- Open channels: `channels.mattermost.groupPolicy="open"` (mention-gated).
|
||||
|
||||
## Targets for outbound delivery
|
||||
|
||||
Use these target formats with `openclaw message send` or cron/webhooks:
|
||||
|
||||
- `channel:<id>` for a channel
|
||||
- `user:<id>` for a DM
|
||||
- `@username` for a DM (resolved via the Mattermost API)
|
||||
|
||||
Bare IDs are treated as channels.
|
||||
|
||||
## Multi-account
|
||||
|
||||
Mattermost supports multiple accounts under `channels.mattermost.accounts`:
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
channels: {
|
||||
mattermost: {
|
||||
accounts: {
|
||||
default: { name: "Primary", botToken: "mm-token", baseUrl: "https://chat.example.com" },
|
||||
alerts: { name: "Alerts", botToken: "mm-token-2", baseUrl: "https://alerts.example.com" },
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
- No replies in channels: ensure the bot is in the channel and mention it (oncall), use a trigger prefix (onchar), or set `chatmode: "onmessage"`.
|
||||
- Auth errors: check the bot token, base URL, and whether the account is enabled.
|
||||
- Multi-account issues: env vars only apply to the `default` account.

# Microsoft Teams (plugin)
|
||||
|
||||
> "Abandon all hope, ye who enter here."
|
||||
|
||||
Updated: 2026-01-21
|
||||
|
||||
Status: text + DM attachments are supported; channel/group file sending requires `sharePointSiteId` + Graph permissions (see [Sending files in group chats](#sending-files-in-group-chats)). Polls are sent via Adaptive Cards.
|
||||
|
||||
## Plugin required
|
||||
|
||||
Microsoft Teams ships as a plugin and is not bundled with the core install.
|
||||
|
||||
**Breaking change (2026.1.15):** MS Teams moved out of core. If you use it, you must install the plugin.
|
||||
|
||||
Explainable: keeps core installs lighter and lets MS Teams dependencies update independently.
|
||||
|
||||
Install via CLI (npm registry):
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw plugins install @openclaw/msteams
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Local checkout (when running from a git repo):
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw plugins install ./extensions/msteams
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If you choose Teams during configure/onboarding and a git checkout is detected,
|
||||
OpenClaw will offer the local install path automatically.
|
||||
|
||||
Details: [Plugins](/plugin)
|
||||
|
||||
## Quick setup (beginner)
|
||||
|
||||
1. Install the Microsoft Teams plugin.
|
||||
2. Create an **Azure Bot** (App ID + client secret + tenant ID).
|
||||
3. Configure OpenClaw with those credentials.
|
||||
4. Expose `/api/messages` (port 3978 by default) via a public URL or tunnel.
|
||||
5. Install the Teams app package and start the gateway.
|
||||
|
||||
Minimal config:
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
channels: {
|
||||
msteams: {
|
||||
enabled: true,
|
||||
appId: "<APP_ID>",
|
||||
appPassword: "<APP_PASSWORD>",
|
||||
tenantId: "<TENANT_ID>",
|
||||
webhook: { port: 3978, path: "/api/messages" },
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Note: group chats are blocked by default (`channels.msteams.groupPolicy: "allowlist"`). To allow group replies, set `channels.msteams.groupAllowFrom` (or use `groupPolicy: "open"` to allow any member, mention-gated).
|
||||
|
||||
## Goals
|
||||
|
||||
- Talk to OpenClaw via Teams DMs, group chats, or channels.
|
||||
- Keep routing deterministic: replies always go back to the channel they arrived on.
|
||||
- Default to safe channel behavior (mentions required unless configured otherwise).
|
||||
|
||||
## Config writes
|
||||
|
||||
By default, Microsoft Teams is allowed to write config updates triggered by `/config set|unset` (requires `commands.config: true`).
|
||||
|
||||
Disable with:
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
channels: { msteams: { configWrites: false } },
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Access control (DMs + groups)
|
||||
|
||||
**DM access**
|
||||
|
||||
- Default: `channels.msteams.dmPolicy = "pairing"`. Unknown senders are ignored until approved.
|
||||
- `channels.msteams.allowFrom` accepts AAD object IDs, UPNs, or display names. The wizard resolves names to IDs via Microsoft Graph when credentials allow.
|
||||
|
||||
**Group access**
|
||||
|
||||
- Default: `channels.msteams.groupPolicy = "allowlist"` (blocked unless you add `groupAllowFrom`). Use `channels.defaults.groupPolicy` to override the default when unset.
|
||||
- `channels.msteams.groupAllowFrom` controls which senders can trigger in group chats/channels (falls back to `channels.msteams.allowFrom`).
|
||||
- Set `groupPolicy: "open"` to allow any member (still mention‑gated by default).
|
||||
- To allow **no channels**, set `channels.msteams.groupPolicy: "disabled"`.
|
||||
|
||||
Example:
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
channels: {
|
||||
msteams: {
|
||||
groupPolicy: "allowlist",
|
||||
groupAllowFrom: ["user@org.com"],
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Teams + channel allowlist**
|
||||
|
||||
- Scope group/channel replies by listing teams and channels under `channels.msteams.teams`.
|
||||
- Keys can be team IDs or names; channel keys can be conversation IDs or names.
|
||||
- When `groupPolicy="allowlist"` and a teams allowlist is present, only listed teams/channels are accepted (mention‑gated).
|
||||
- The configure wizard accepts `Team/Channel` entries and stores them for you.
|
||||
- On startup, OpenClaw resolves team/channel and user allowlist names to IDs (when Graph permissions allow)
|
||||
and logs the mapping; unresolved entries are kept as typed.
|
||||
|
||||
Example:
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
channels: {
|
||||
msteams: {
|
||||
groupPolicy: "allowlist",
|
||||
teams: {
|
||||
"My Team": {
|
||||
channels: {
|
||||
General: { requireMention: true },
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## How it works
|
||||
|
||||
1. Install the Microsoft Teams plugin.
|
||||
2. Create an **Azure Bot** (App ID + secret + tenant ID).
|
||||
3. Build a **Teams app package** that references the bot and includes the RSC permissions below.
|
||||
4. Upload/install the Teams app into a team (or personal scope for DMs).
|
||||
5. Configure `msteams` in `~/.openclaw/openclaw.json` (or env vars) and start the gateway.
|
||||
6. The gateway listens for Bot Framework webhook traffic on `/api/messages` by default.
|
||||
|
||||
## Azure Bot Setup (Prerequisites)
|
||||
|
||||
Before configuring OpenClaw, you need to create an Azure Bot resource.
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 1: Create Azure Bot
|
||||
|
||||
1. Go to [Create Azure Bot](https://portal.azure.com/#create/Microsoft.AzureBot)
|
||||
2. Fill in the **Basics** tab:
|
||||
|
||||
| Field | Value |
|
||||
| ------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------- |
|
||||
| **Bot handle** | Your bot name, e.g., `openclaw-msteams` (must be unique) |
|
||||
| **Subscription** | Select your Azure subscription |
|
||||
| **Resource group** | Create new or use existing |
|
||||
| **Pricing tier** | **Free** for dev/testing |
|
||||
| **Type of App** | **Single Tenant** (recommended - see note below) |
|
||||
| **Creation type** | **Create new Microsoft App ID** |
|
||||
|
||||
> **Deprecation notice:** Creation of new multi-tenant bots was deprecated after 2025-07-31. Use **Single Tenant** for new bots.
|
||||
|
||||
3. Click **Review + create** → **Create** (wait ~1-2 minutes)
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 2: Get Credentials
|
||||
|
||||
1. Go to your Azure Bot resource → **Configuration**
|
||||
2. Copy **Microsoft App ID** → this is your `appId`
|
||||
3. Click **Manage Password** → go to the App Registration
|
||||
4. Under **Certificates & secrets** → **New client secret** → copy the **Value** → this is your `appPassword`
|
||||
5. Go to **Overview** → copy **Directory (tenant) ID** → this is your `tenantId`
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 3: Configure Messaging Endpoint
|
||||
|
||||
1. In Azure Bot → **Configuration**
|
||||
2. Set **Messaging endpoint** to your webhook URL:
|
||||
- Production: `https://your-domain.com/api/messages`
|
||||
- Local dev: Use a tunnel (see [Local Development](#local-development-tunneling) below)
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 4: Enable Teams Channel
|
||||
|
||||
1. In Azure Bot → **Channels**
|
||||
2. Click **Microsoft Teams** → Configure → Save
|
||||
3. Accept the Terms of Service
|
||||
|
||||
## Local Development (Tunneling)
|
||||
|
||||
Teams can't reach `localhost`. Use a tunnel for local development:
|
||||
|
||||
**Option A: ngrok**
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
ngrok http 3978
|
||||
# Copy the https URL, e.g., https://abc123.ngrok.io
|
||||
# Set messaging endpoint to: https://abc123.ngrok.io/api/messages
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Option B: Tailscale Funnel**
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
tailscale funnel 3978
|
||||
# Use your Tailscale funnel URL as the messaging endpoint
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Teams Developer Portal (Alternative)
|
||||
|
||||
Instead of manually creating a manifest ZIP, you can use the [Teams Developer Portal](https://dev.teams.microsoft.com/apps):
|
||||
|
||||
1. Click **+ New app**
|
||||
2. Fill in basic info (name, description, developer info)
|
||||
3. Go to **App features** → **Bot**
|
||||
4. Select **Enter a bot ID manually** and paste your Azure Bot App ID
|
||||
5. Check scopes: **Personal**, **Team**, **Group Chat**
|
||||
6. Click **Distribute** → **Download app package**
|
||||
7. In Teams: **Apps** → **Manage your apps** → **Upload a custom app** → select the ZIP
|
||||
|
||||
This is often easier than hand-editing JSON manifests.
|
||||
|
||||
## Testing the Bot
|
||||
|
||||
**Option A: Azure Web Chat (verify webhook first)**
|
||||
|
||||
1. In Azure Portal → your Azure Bot resource → **Test in Web Chat**
|
||||
2. Send a message - you should see a response
|
||||
3. This confirms your webhook endpoint works before Teams setup
|
||||
|
||||
**Option B: Teams (after app installation)**
|
||||
|
||||
1. Install the Teams app (sideload or org catalog)
|
||||
2. Find the bot in Teams and send a DM
|
||||
3. Check gateway logs for incoming activity
|
||||
|
||||
## Setup (minimal text-only)
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Install the Microsoft Teams plugin**
|
||||
- From npm: `openclaw plugins install @openclaw/msteams`
|
||||
- From a local checkout: `openclaw plugins install ./extensions/msteams`
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Bot registration**
|
||||
- Create an Azure Bot (see above) and note:
|
||||
- App ID
|
||||
- Client secret (App password)
|
||||
- Tenant ID (single-tenant)
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Teams app manifest**
|
||||
- Include a `bot` entry with `botId = <App ID>`.
|
||||
- Scopes: `personal`, `team`, `groupChat`.
|
||||
- `supportsFiles: true` (required for personal scope file handling).
|
||||
- Add RSC permissions (below).
|
||||
- Create icons: `outline.png` (32x32) and `color.png` (192x192).
|
||||
- Zip all three files together: `manifest.json`, `outline.png`, `color.png`.
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Configure OpenClaw**
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"msteams": {
|
||||
"enabled": true,
|
||||
"appId": "<APP_ID>",
|
||||
"appPassword": "<APP_PASSWORD>",
|
||||
"tenantId": "<TENANT_ID>",
|
||||
"webhook": { "port": 3978, "path": "/api/messages" }
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
You can also use environment variables instead of config keys:
|
||||
- `MSTEAMS_APP_ID`
|
||||
- `MSTEAMS_APP_PASSWORD`
|
||||
- `MSTEAMS_TENANT_ID`
|
||||
|
||||
5. **Bot endpoint**
|
||||
- Set the Azure Bot Messaging Endpoint to:
|
||||
- `https://<host>:3978/api/messages` (or your chosen path/port).
|
||||
|
||||
6. **Run the gateway**
|
||||
- The Teams channel starts automatically when the plugin is installed and `msteams` config exists with credentials.
|
||||
|
||||
## History context
|
||||
|
||||
- `channels.msteams.historyLimit` controls how many recent channel/group messages are wrapped into the prompt.
|
||||
- Falls back to `messages.groupChat.historyLimit`. Set `0` to disable (default 50).
|
||||
- DM history can be limited with `channels.msteams.dmHistoryLimit` (user turns). Per-user overrides: `channels.msteams.dms["<user_id>"].historyLimit`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Current Teams RSC Permissions (Manifest)
|
||||
|
||||
These are the **existing resourceSpecific permissions** in our Teams app manifest. They only apply inside the team/chat where the app is installed.
|
||||
|
||||
**For channels (team scope):**
|
||||
|
||||
- `ChannelMessage.Read.Group` (Application) - receive all channel messages without @mention
|
||||
- `ChannelMessage.Send.Group` (Application)
|
||||
- `Member.Read.Group` (Application)
|
||||
- `Owner.Read.Group` (Application)
|
||||
- `ChannelSettings.Read.Group` (Application)
|
||||
- `TeamMember.Read.Group` (Application)
|
||||
- `TeamSettings.Read.Group` (Application)
|
||||
|
||||
**For group chats:**
|
||||
|
||||
- `ChatMessage.Read.Chat` (Application) - receive all group chat messages without @mention
|
||||
|
||||
## Example Teams Manifest (redacted)

|
||||
]
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Manifest caveats (must-have fields)
|
||||
|
||||
- `bots[].botId` **must** match the Azure Bot App ID.
|
||||
- `webApplicationInfo.id` **must** match the Azure Bot App ID.
|
||||
- `bots[].scopes` must include the surfaces you plan to use (`personal`, `team`, `groupChat`).
|
||||
- `bots[].supportsFiles: true` is required for file handling in personal scope.
|
||||
- `authorization.permissions.resourceSpecific` must include channel read/send if you want channel traffic.
|
||||
|
||||
### Updating an existing app
|
||||
|
||||
To update an already-installed Teams app (e.g., to add RSC permissions):
|
||||
|
||||
1. Update your `manifest.json` with the new settings
|
||||
2. **Increment the `version` field** (e.g., `1.0.0` → `1.1.0`)
|
||||
3. **Re-zip** the manifest with icons (`manifest.json`, `outline.png`, `color.png`)
|
||||
4. Upload the new zip:
|
||||
- **Option A (Teams Admin Center):** Teams Admin Center → Teams apps → Manage apps → find your app → Upload new version
|
||||
- **Option B (Sideload):** In Teams → Apps → Manage your apps → Upload a custom app
|
||||
5. **For team channels:** Reinstall the app in each team for new permissions to take effect
|
||||
6. **Fully quit and relaunch Teams** (not just close the window) to clear cached app metadata
|
||||
|
||||
## Capabilities: RSC only vs Graph
|
||||
|
||||
### With **Teams RSC only** (app installed, no Graph API permissions)
|
||||
|
||||
Works:
|
||||
|
||||
- Read channel message **text** content.
|
||||
- Send channel message **text** content.
|
||||
- Receive **personal (DM)** file attachments.
|
||||
|
||||
Does NOT work:
|
||||
|
||||
- Channel/group **image or file contents** (payload only includes HTML stub).
|
||||
- Downloading attachments stored in SharePoint/OneDrive.
|
||||
- Reading message history (beyond the live webhook event).
|
||||
|
||||
### With **Teams RSC + Microsoft Graph Application permissions**
|
||||
|
||||
Adds:
|
||||
|
||||
- Downloading hosted contents (images pasted into messages).
|
||||
- Downloading file attachments stored in SharePoint/OneDrive.
|
||||
- Reading channel/chat message history via Graph.
|
||||
|
||||
### RSC vs Graph API
|
||||
|
||||
| Capability | RSC Permissions | Graph API |
|
||||
| ----------------------- | -------------------- | ----------------------------------- |
|
||||
| **Real-time messages** | Yes (via webhook) | No (polling only) |
|
||||
| **Historical messages** | No | Yes (can query history) |
|
||||
| **Setup complexity** | App manifest only | Requires admin consent + token flow |
|
||||
| **Works offline** | No (must be running) | Yes (query anytime) |
|
||||
|
||||
**Bottom line:** RSC is for real-time listening; Graph API is for historical access. For catching up on missed messages while offline, you need Graph API with `ChannelMessage.Read.All` (requires admin consent).
|
||||
|
||||
## Graph-enabled media + history (required for channels)
|
||||
|
||||
If you need images/files in **channels** or want to fetch **message history**, you must enable Microsoft Graph permissions and grant admin consent.
|
||||
|
||||
1. In Entra ID (Azure AD) **App Registration**, add Microsoft Graph **Application permissions**:
|
||||
- `ChannelMessage.Read.All` (channel attachments + history)
|
||||
- `Chat.Read.All` or `ChatMessage.Read.All` (group chats)
|
||||
2. **Grant admin consent** for the tenant.
|
||||
3. Bump the Teams app **manifest version**, re-upload, and **reinstall the app in Teams**.
|
||||
4. **Fully quit and relaunch Teams** to clear cached app metadata.
|
||||
|
||||
## Known Limitations
|
||||
|
||||
### Webhook timeouts
|
||||
|
||||
Teams delivers messages via HTTP webhook. If processing takes too long (e.g., slow LLM responses), you may see:
|
||||
|
||||
- Gateway timeouts
|
||||
- Teams retrying the message (causing duplicates)
|
||||
- Dropped replies
|
||||
|
||||
OpenClaw handles this by returning quickly and sending replies proactively, but very slow responses may still cause issues.
|
||||
|
||||
### Formatting
|
||||
|
||||
Teams markdown is more limited than Slack or Discord:
|
||||
|
||||
- Basic formatting works: **bold**, _italic_, `code`, links
|
||||
- Complex markdown (tables, nested lists) may not render correctly
|
||||
- Adaptive Cards are supported for polls and arbitrary card sends (see below)
|
||||
|
||||
## Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
Key settings (see `/gateway/configuration` for shared channel patterns):
|
||||
|
||||
- `channels.msteams.enabled`: enable/disable the channel.
|
||||
- `channels.msteams.appId`, `channels.msteams.appPassword`, `channels.msteams.tenantId`: bot credentials.
|
||||
- `channels.msteams.webhook.port` (default `3978`)
|
||||
- `channels.msteams.webhook.path` (default `/api/messages`)
|
||||
- `channels.msteams.dmPolicy`: `pairing | allowlist | open | disabled` (default: pairing)
|
||||
- `channels.msteams.allowFrom`: allowlist for DMs (AAD object IDs, UPNs, or display names). The wizard resolves names to IDs during setup when Graph access is available.
|
||||
- `channels.msteams.textChunkLimit`: outbound text chunk size.
|
||||
- `channels.msteams.chunkMode`: `length` (default) or `newline` to split on blank lines (paragraph boundaries) before length chunking.
|
||||
- `channels.msteams.mediaAllowHosts`: allowlist for inbound attachment hosts (defaults to Microsoft/Teams domains).
|
||||
- `channels.msteams.mediaAuthAllowHosts`: allowlist for attaching Authorization headers on media retries (defaults to Graph + Bot Framework hosts).
|
||||
- `channels.msteams.requireMention`: require @mention in channels/groups (default true).
|
||||
- `channels.msteams.replyStyle`: `thread | top-level` (see [Reply Style](#reply-style-threads-vs-posts)).
|
||||
- `channels.msteams.teams.<teamId>.replyStyle`: per-team override.
|
||||
- `channels.msteams.teams.<teamId>.requireMention`: per-team override.
|
||||
- `channels.msteams.teams.<teamId>.tools`: default per-team tool policy overrides (`allow`/`deny`/`alsoAllow`) used when a channel override is missing.
|
||||
- `channels.msteams.teams.<teamId>.toolsBySender`: default per-team per-sender tool policy overrides (`"*"` wildcard supported).
|
||||
- `channels.msteams.teams.<teamId>.channels.<conversationId>.replyStyle`: per-channel override.
|
||||
- `channels.msteams.teams.<teamId>.channels.<conversationId>.requireMention`: per-channel override.
|
||||
- `channels.msteams.teams.<teamId>.channels.<conversationId>.tools`: per-channel tool policy overrides (`allow`/`deny`/`alsoAllow`).
|
||||
- `channels.msteams.teams.<teamId>.channels.<conversationId>.toolsBySender`: per-channel per-sender tool policy overrides (`"*"` wildcard supported).
|
||||
- `channels.msteams.sharePointSiteId`: SharePoint site ID for file uploads in group chats/channels (see [Sending files in group chats](#sending-files-in-group-chats)).
|
||||
|
||||
## Routing & Sessions
|
||||
|
||||
- Session keys follow the standard agent format (see [/concepts/session](/concepts/session)):
|
||||
- Direct messages share the main session (`agent:<agentId>:<mainKey>`).
|
||||
- Channel/group messages use conversation id:
|
||||
- `agent:<agentId>:msteams:channel:<conversationId>`
|
||||
- `agent:<agentId>:msteams:group:<conversationId>`
|
||||
|
||||
## Reply Style: Threads vs Posts
|
||||
|
||||
Teams recently introduced two channel UI styles over the same underlying data model:
|
||||
|
||||
| Style | Description | Recommended `replyStyle` |
|
||||
| ------------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------ |
|
||||
| **Posts** (classic) | Messages appear as cards with threaded replies underneath | `thread` (default) |
|
||||
| **Threads** (Slack-like) | Messages flow linearly, more like Slack | `top-level` |
|
||||
|
||||
**The problem:** The Teams API does not expose which UI style a channel uses. If you use the wrong `replyStyle`:
|
||||
|
||||
- `thread` in a Threads-style channel → replies appear nested awkwardly
|
||||
- `top-level` in a Posts-style channel → replies appear as separate top-level posts instead of in-thread
|
||||
|
||||
**Solution:** Configure `replyStyle` per-channel based on how the channel is set up:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"msteams": {
|
||||
"replyStyle": "thread",
|
||||
"teams": {
|
||||
"19:abc...@thread.tacv2": {
|
||||
"channels": {
|
||||
"19:xyz...@thread.tacv2": {
|
||||
"replyStyle": "top-level"
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Attachments & Images
|
||||
|
||||
**Current limitations:**
|
||||
|
||||
- **DMs:** Images and file attachments work via Teams bot file APIs.
|
||||
- **Channels/groups:** Attachments live in M365 storage (SharePoint/OneDrive). The webhook payload only includes an HTML stub, not the actual file bytes. **Graph API permissions are required** to download channel attachments.
|
||||
|
||||
Without Graph permissions, channel messages with images will be received as text-only (the image content is not accessible to the bot).
|
||||
By default, OpenClaw only downloads media from Microsoft/Teams hostnames. Override with `channels.msteams.mediaAllowHosts` (use `["*"]` to allow any host).
|
||||
Authorization headers are only attached for hosts in `channels.msteams.mediaAuthAllowHosts` (defaults to Graph + Bot Framework hosts). Keep this list strict (avoid multi-tenant suffixes).
|
||||
|
||||
## Sending files in group chats
|
||||
|
||||
Bots can send files in DMs using the FileConsentCard flow (built-in). However, **sending files in group chats/channels** requires additional setup:
|
||||
|
||||
| Context | How files are sent | Setup needed |
|
||||
| ------------------------ | -------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------- |
|
||||
| **DMs** | FileConsentCard → user accepts → bot uploads | Works out of the box |
|
||||
| **Group chats/channels** | Upload to SharePoint → share link | Requires `sharePointSiteId` + Graph permissions |
|
||||
| **Images (any context)** | Base64-encoded inline | Works out of the box |
|
||||
|
||||
### Why group chats need SharePoint
|
||||
|
||||
Bots don't have a personal OneDrive drive (the `/me/drive` Graph API endpoint doesn't work for application identities). To send files in group chats/channels, the bot uploads to a **SharePoint site** and creates a sharing link.
|
||||
|
||||
### Setup
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Add Graph API permissions** in Entra ID (Azure AD) → App Registration:
|
||||
- `Sites.ReadWrite.All` (Application) - upload files to SharePoint
|
||||
- `Chat.Read.All` (Application) - optional, enables per-user sharing links
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Grant admin consent** for the tenant.
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Get your SharePoint site ID:**
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Via Graph Explorer or curl with a valid token:
|
||||
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
|
||||
"https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites/{hostname}:/{site-path}"
|
||||
|
||||
# Example: for a site at "contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/BotFiles"
|
||||
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
|
||||
"https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites/contoso.sharepoint.com:/sites/BotFiles"
|
||||
|
||||
# Response includes: "id": "contoso.sharepoint.com,guid1,guid2"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Configure OpenClaw:**
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
channels: {
|
||||
msteams: {
|
||||
// ... other config ...
|
||||
sharePointSiteId: "contoso.sharepoint.com,guid1,guid2",
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Sharing behavior
|
||||
|
||||
| Permission | Sharing behavior |
|
||||
| --------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------- |
|
||||
| `Sites.ReadWrite.All` only | Organization-wide sharing link (anyone in org can access) |
|
||||
| `Sites.ReadWrite.All` + `Chat.Read.All` | Per-user sharing link (only chat members can access) |
|
||||
|
||||
Per-user sharing is more secure as only the chat participants can access the file. If `Chat.Read.All` permission is missing, the bot falls back to organization-wide sharing.
|
||||
|
||||
### Fallback behavior
|
||||
|
||||
| Scenario | Result |
|
||||
| ------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------- |
|
||||
| Group chat + file + `sharePointSiteId` configured | Upload to SharePoint, send sharing link |
|
||||
| Group chat + file + no `sharePointSiteId` | Attempt OneDrive upload (may fail), send text only |
|
||||
| Personal chat + file | FileConsentCard flow (works without SharePoint) |
|
||||
| Any context + image | Base64-encoded inline (works without SharePoint) |
|
||||
|
||||
### Files stored location
|
||||
|
||||
Uploaded files are stored in a `/OpenClawShared/` folder in the configured SharePoint site's default document library.
|
||||
|
||||
## Polls (Adaptive Cards)
|
||||
|
||||
OpenClaw sends Teams polls as Adaptive Cards (there is no native Teams poll API).
|
||||
|
||||
- CLI: `openclaw message poll --channel msteams --target conversation:<id> ...`
|
||||
- Votes are recorded by the gateway in `~/.openclaw/msteams-polls.json`.
|
||||
- The gateway must stay online to record votes.
|
||||
- Polls do not auto-post result summaries yet (inspect the store file if needed).
|
||||
|
||||
## Adaptive Cards (arbitrary)
|
||||
|
||||
Send any Adaptive Card JSON to Teams users or conversations using the `message` tool or CLI.
|
||||
|
||||
The `card` parameter accepts an Adaptive Card JSON object. When `card` is provided, the message text is optional.
|
||||
|
||||
**Agent tool:**
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"action": "send",
|
||||
"channel": "msteams",
|
||||
"target": "user:<id>",
|
||||
"card": {
|
||||
"type": "AdaptiveCard",
|
||||
"version": "1.5",
|
||||
"body": [{ "type": "TextBlock", "text": "Hello!" }]
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**CLI:**
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw message send --channel msteams \
|
||||
--target "conversation:19:abc...@thread.tacv2" \
|
||||
--card '{"type":"AdaptiveCard","version":"1.5","body":[{"type":"TextBlock","text":"Hello!"}]}'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
See [Adaptive Cards documentation](https://adaptivecards.io/) for card schema and examples. For target format details, see [Target formats](#target-formats) below.
|
||||
|
||||
## Target formats
|
||||
|
||||
MSTeams targets use prefixes to distinguish between users and conversations:
|
||||
|
||||
| Target type | Format | Example |
|
||||
| ------------------- | -------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
|
||||
| User (by ID) | `user:<aad-object-id>` | `user:40a1a0ed-4ff2-4164-a219-55518990c197` |
|
||||
| User (by name) | `user:<display-name>` | `user:John Smith` (requires Graph API) |
|
||||
| Group/channel | `conversation:<conversation-id>` | `conversation:19:abc123...@thread.tacv2` |
|
||||
| Group/channel (raw) | `<conversation-id>` | `19:abc123...@thread.tacv2` (if contains `@thread`) |
|
||||
|
||||
**CLI examples:**
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Send to a user by ID
|
||||
openclaw message send --channel msteams --target "user:40a1a0ed-..." --message "Hello"
|
||||
|
||||
# Send to a user by display name (triggers Graph API lookup)
|
||||
openclaw message send --channel msteams --target "user:John Smith" --message "Hello"
|
||||
|
||||
# Send to a group chat or channel
|
||||
openclaw message send --channel msteams --target "conversation:19:abc...@thread.tacv2" --message "Hello"
|
||||
|
||||
# Send an Adaptive Card to a conversation
|
||||
openclaw message send --channel msteams --target "conversation:19:abc...@thread.tacv2" \
|
||||
--card '{"type":"AdaptiveCard","version":"1.5","body":[{"type":"TextBlock","text":"Hello"}]}'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Agent tool examples:**
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"action": "send",
|
||||
"channel": "msteams",
|
||||
"target": "user:John Smith",
|
||||
"message": "Hello!"
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"action": "send",
|
||||
"channel": "msteams",
|
||||
"target": "conversation:19:abc...@thread.tacv2",
|
||||
"card": {
|
||||
"type": "AdaptiveCard",
|
||||
"version": "1.5",
|
||||
"body": [{ "type": "TextBlock", "text": "Hello" }]
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Note: Without the `user:` prefix, names default to group/team resolution. Always use `user:` when targeting people by display name.
|
||||
|
||||
## Proactive messaging
|
||||
|
||||
- Proactive messages are only possible **after** a user has interacted, because we store conversation references at that point.
|
||||
- See `/gateway/configuration` for `dmPolicy` and allowlist gating.
|
||||
|
||||
## Team and Channel IDs (Common Gotcha)
|
||||
|
||||
The `groupId` query parameter in Teams URLs is **NOT** the team ID used for configuration. Extract IDs from the URL path instead:
|
||||
|
||||
**Team URL:**
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
https://teams.microsoft.com/l/team/19%3ABk4j...%40thread.tacv2/conversations?groupId=...
|
||||
└────────────────────────────┘
|
||||
Team ID (URL-decode this)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Channel URL:**
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
https://teams.microsoft.com/l/channel/19%3A15bc...%40thread.tacv2/ChannelName?groupId=...
|
||||
└─────────────────────────┘
|
||||
Channel ID (URL-decode this)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**For config:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Team ID = path segment after `/team/` (URL-decoded, e.g., `19:Bk4j...@thread.tacv2`)
|
||||
- Channel ID = path segment after `/channel/` (URL-decoded)
|
||||
- **Ignore** the `groupId` query parameter
|
||||
|
||||
## Private Channels
|
||||
|
||||
Bots have limited support in private channels:
|
||||
|
||||
| Feature | Standard Channels | Private Channels |
|
||||
| ---------------------------- | ----------------- | ---------------------- |
|
||||
| Bot installation | Yes | Limited |
|
||||
| Real-time messages (webhook) | Yes | May not work |
|
||||
| RSC permissions | Yes | May behave differently |
|
||||
| @mentions | Yes | If bot is accessible |
|
||||
| Graph API history | Yes | Yes (with permissions) |
|
||||
|
||||
**Workarounds if private channels don't work:**
|
||||
|
||||
1. Use standard channels for bot interactions
|
||||
2. Use DMs - users can always message the bot directly
|
||||
3. Use Graph API for historical access (requires `ChannelMessage.Read.All`)
|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
### Common issues
|
||||
|
||||
- **Images not showing in channels:** Graph permissions or admin consent missing. Reinstall the Teams app and fully quit/reopen Teams.
|
||||
- **No responses in channel:** mentions are required by default; set `channels.msteams.requireMention=false` or configure per team/channel.
|
||||
- **Version mismatch (Teams still shows old manifest):** remove + re-add the app and fully quit Teams to refresh.
|
||||
- **401 Unauthorized from webhook:** Expected when testing manually without Azure JWT - means endpoint is reachable but auth failed. Use Azure Web Chat to test properly.
|
||||
|
||||
### Manifest upload errors
|
||||
|
||||
- **"Icon file cannot be empty":** The manifest references icon files that are 0 bytes. Create valid PNG icons (32x32 for `outline.png`, 192x192 for `color.png`).
|
||||
- **"webApplicationInfo.Id already in use":** The app is still installed in another team/chat. Find and uninstall it first, or wait 5-10 minutes for propagation.
|
||||
- **"Something went wrong" on upload:** Upload via https://admin.teams.microsoft.com instead, open browser DevTools (F12) → Network tab, and check the response body for the actual error.
|
||||
- **Sideload failing:** Try "Upload an app to your org's app catalog" instead of "Upload a custom app" - this often bypasses sideload restrictions.
|
||||
|
||||
### RSC permissions not working
|
||||
|
||||
1. Verify `webApplicationInfo.id` matches your bot's App ID exactly
|
||||
2. Re-upload the app and reinstall in the team/chat
|
||||
3. Check if your org admin has blocked RSC permissions
|
||||
4. Confirm you're using the right scope: `ChannelMessage.Read.Group` for teams, `ChatMessage.Read.Chat` for group chats

# Nextcloud Talk (plugin)
|
||||
|
||||
Status: supported via plugin (webhook bot). Direct messages, rooms, reactions, and markdown messages are supported.
|
||||
|
||||
## Plugin required
|
||||
|
||||
Nextcloud Talk ships as a plugin and is not bundled with the core install.
|
||||
|
||||
Install via CLI (npm registry):
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw plugins install @openclaw/nextcloud-talk
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Local checkout (when running from a git repo):
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw plugins install ./extensions/nextcloud-talk
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If you choose Nextcloud Talk during configure/onboarding and a git checkout is detected,
|
||||
OpenClaw will offer the local install path automatically.
|
||||
|
||||
Details: [Plugins](/plugin)
|
||||
|
||||
## Quick setup (beginner)
|
||||
|
||||
1. Install the Nextcloud Talk plugin.
|
||||
2. On your Nextcloud server, create a bot:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
./occ talk:bot:install "OpenClaw" "<shared-secret>" "<webhook-url>" --feature reaction
|
||||
```
|
||||
3. Enable the bot in the target room settings.
|
||||
4. Configure OpenClaw:
|
||||
- Config: `channels.nextcloud-talk.baseUrl` + `channels.nextcloud-talk.botSecret`
|
||||
- Or env: `NEXTCLOUD_TALK_BOT_SECRET` (default account only)
|
||||
5. Restart the gateway (or finish onboarding).
|
||||
|
||||
Minimal config:

||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
channels: {
|
||||
"nextcloud-talk": {
|
||||
enabled: true,
|
||||
baseUrl: "https://cloud.example.com",

}
|

```
|
||||
|
||||
## Notes
|
||||
|
||||
- Bots cannot initiate DMs. The user must message the bot first.
|
||||
- Webhook URL must be reachable by the Gateway; set `webhookPublicUrl` if behind a proxy.
|
||||
- Media uploads are not supported by the bot API; media is sent as URLs.
|
||||
- The webhook payload does not distinguish DMs vs rooms; set `apiUser` + `apiPassword` to enable room-type lookups (otherwise DMs are treated as rooms).
|
||||
|
||||
## Access control (DMs)
|
||||
|
||||
- Default: `channels.nextcloud-talk.dmPolicy = "pairing"`. Unknown senders get a pairing code.
|
||||
- Approve via:
|
||||
- `openclaw pairing list nextcloud-talk`
|
||||
- `openclaw pairing approve nextcloud-talk <CODE>`
|
||||
- Public DMs: `channels.nextcloud-talk.dmPolicy="open"` plus `channels.nextcloud-talk.allowFrom=["*"]`.
|
||||
- `allowFrom` matches Nextcloud user IDs only; display names are ignored.
|
||||
|
||||
## Rooms (groups)
|
||||
|
||||
- Default: `channels.nextcloud-talk.groupPolicy = "allowlist"` (mention-gated).
|
||||
- Allowlist rooms with `channels.nextcloud-talk.rooms`:
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
channels: {
|
||||
"nextcloud-talk": {
|
||||
rooms: {
|
||||
"room-token": { requireMention: true },
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
- To allow no rooms, keep the allowlist empty or set `channels.nextcloud-talk.groupPolicy="disabled"`.

# Nostr
|
||||
|
||||
**Status:** Optional plugin (disabled by default).
|
||||
|
||||
Nostr is a decentralized protocol for social networking. This channel enables OpenClaw to receive and respond to encrypted direct messages (DMs) via NIP-04.
|
||||
|
||||
## Install (on demand)
|
||||
|
||||
### Onboarding (recommended)
|
||||
|
||||
- The onboarding wizard (`openclaw onboard`) and `openclaw channels add` list optional channel plugins.
|
||||
- Selecting Nostr prompts you to install the plugin on demand.
|
||||
|
||||
Install defaults:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Dev channel + git checkout available:** uses the local plugin path.
|
||||
- **Stable/Beta:** downloads from npm.
|
||||
|
||||
You can always override the choice in the prompt.
|
||||
|
||||
### Manual install
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw plugins install @openclaw/nostr
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Use a local checkout (dev workflows):
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw plugins install --link <path-to-openclaw>/extensions/nostr
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Restart the Gateway after installing or enabling plugins.
|
||||
|
||||
## Quick setup
|
||||
|
||||
1. Generate a Nostr keypair (if needed):
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Using nak
|
||||
nak key generate
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. Add to config:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"channels": {
|
||||
"nostr": {
|
||||
"privateKey": "${NOSTR_PRIVATE_KEY}"
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
3. Export the key:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
export NOSTR_PRIVATE_KEY="nsec1..."
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
4. Restart the Gateway.
|
||||
|
||||
## Configuration reference
|
||||
|
||||
| Key | Type | Default | Description |
|
||||
| ------------ | -------- | ------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------- |
|
||||
| `privateKey` | string | required | Private key in `nsec` or hex format |
|
||||
| `relays` | string[] | `['wss://relay.damus.io', 'wss://nos.lol']` | Relay URLs (WebSocket) |
|
||||
| `dmPolicy` | string | `pairing` | DM access policy |
|
||||
| `allowFrom` | string[] | `[]` | Allowed sender pubkeys |
|
||||
| `enabled` | boolean | `true` | Enable/disable channel |
|
||||
| `name` | string | - | Display name |
|
||||
| `profile` | object | - | NIP-01 profile metadata |
|
||||
|
||||
## Profile metadata
|
||||
|
||||
Profile data is published as a NIP-01 `kind:0` event. You can manage it from the Control UI (Channels -> Nostr -> Profile) or set it directly in config.
|
||||
|
||||
Example:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"channels": {
|
||||
"nostr": {
|
||||
"privateKey": "${NOSTR_PRIVATE_KEY}",
|
||||
"profile": {
|
||||
"name": "openclaw",
|
||||
"displayName": "OpenClaw",
|
||||
"about": "Personal assistant DM bot",
|
||||
"picture": "https://example.com/avatar.png",
|
||||
"banner": "https://example.com/banner.png",
|
||||
"website": "https://example.com",
|
||||
"nip05": "openclaw@example.com",
|
||||
"lud16": "openclaw@example.com"
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Notes:
|
||||
|
||||
- Profile URLs must use `https://`.
|
||||
- Importing from relays merges fields and preserves local overrides.
|
||||
|
||||
## Access control
|
||||
|
||||
### DM policies
|
||||
|
||||
- **pairing** (default): unknown senders get a pairing code.
|
||||
- **allowlist**: only pubkeys in `allowFrom` can DM.
|
||||
- **open**: public inbound DMs (requires `allowFrom: ["*"]`).
|
||||
- **disabled**: ignore inbound DMs.
|
||||
|
||||
### Allowlist example
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"channels": {
|
||||
"nostr": {
|
||||
"privateKey": "${NOSTR_PRIVATE_KEY}",
|
||||
"dmPolicy": "allowlist",
|
||||
"allowFrom": ["npub1abc...", "npub1xyz..."]
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Key formats
|
||||
|
||||
Accepted formats:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Private key:** `nsec...` or 64-char hex
|
||||
- **Pubkeys (`allowFrom`):** `npub...` or hex
|
||||
|
||||
## Relays
|
||||
|
||||
Defaults: `relay.damus.io` and `nos.lol`.
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"channels": {
|
||||
"nostr": {
|
||||
"privateKey": "${NOSTR_PRIVATE_KEY}",
|
||||
"relays": ["wss://relay.damus.io", "wss://relay.primal.net", "wss://nostr.wine"]
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Tips:
|
||||
|
||||
- Use 2-3 relays for redundancy.
|
||||
- Avoid too many relays (latency, duplication).
|
||||
- Paid relays can improve reliability.
|
||||
- Local relays are fine for testing (`ws://localhost:7777`).
|
||||
|
||||
## Protocol support
|
||||
|
||||
| NIP | Status | Description |
|
||||
| ------ | --------- | ------------------------------------- |
|
||||
| NIP-01 | Supported | Basic event format + profile metadata |
|
||||
| NIP-04 | Supported | Encrypted DMs (`kind:4`) |
|
||||
| NIP-17 | Planned | Gift-wrapped DMs |
|
||||
| NIP-44 | Planned | Versioned encryption |
|
||||
|
||||
## Testing
|
||||
|
||||
### Local relay
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Start strfry
|
||||
docker run -p 7777:7777 ghcr.io/hoytech/strfry
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"channels": {
|
||||
"nostr": {
|
||||
"privateKey": "${NOSTR_PRIVATE_KEY}",
|
||||
"relays": ["ws://localhost:7777"]
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Manual test
|
||||
|
||||
1. Note the bot pubkey (npub) from logs.
|
||||
2. Open a Nostr client (Damus, Amethyst, etc.).
|
||||
3. DM the bot pubkey.
|
||||
4. Verify the response.
|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
### Not receiving messages
|
||||
|
||||
- Verify the private key is valid.
|
||||
- Ensure relay URLs are reachable and use `wss://` (or `ws://` for local).
|
||||
- Confirm `enabled` is not `false`.
|
||||
- Check Gateway logs for relay connection errors.
|
||||
|
||||
### Not sending responses
|
||||
|
||||
- Check relay accepts writes.
|
||||
- Verify outbound connectivity.
|
||||
- Watch for relay rate limits.
|
||||
|
||||
### Duplicate responses
|
||||
|
||||
- Expected when using multiple relays.
|
||||
- Messages are deduplicated by event ID; only the first delivery triggers a response.
|
||||
|
||||
## Security
|
||||
|
||||
- Never commit private keys.
|
||||
- Use environment variables for keys.
|
||||
- Consider `allowlist` for production bots.
|
||||
|
||||
## Limitations (MVP)
|
||||
|
||||
- Direct messages only (no group chats).
|
||||
- No media attachments.
|
||||
- NIP-04 only (NIP-17 gift-wrap planned).

# Signal (signal-cli)
|
||||
|
||||
Status: external CLI integration. Gateway talks to `signal-cli` over HTTP JSON-RPC + SSE.
|
||||
|
||||
## Quick setup (beginner)
|
||||
|
||||
1. Use a **separate Signal number** for the bot (recommended).
|
||||
2. Install `signal-cli` (Java required).
|
||||
3. Link the bot device and start the daemon:
|
||||
- `signal-cli link -n "OpenClaw"`
|
||||
4. Configure OpenClaw and start the gateway.
|
||||
|
||||
Minimal config:
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
channels: {
|
||||
signal: {
|
||||
enabled: true,
|
||||
account: "+15551234567",
|
||||
cliPath: "signal-cli",
|
||||
dmPolicy: "pairing",
|
||||
allowFrom: ["+15557654321"],
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## What it is
|
||||
|
||||
- Signal channel via `signal-cli` (not embedded libsignal).
|
||||
- Deterministic routing: replies always go back to Signal.
|
||||
- DMs share the agent's main session; groups are isolated (`agent:<agentId>:signal:group:<groupId>`).
|
||||
|
||||
## Config writes
|
||||
|
||||
By default, Signal is allowed to write config updates triggered by `/config set|unset` (requires `commands.config: true`).
|
||||
|
||||
Disable with:
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
channels: { signal: { configWrites: false } },
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## The number model (important)
|
||||
|
||||
- The gateway connects to a **Signal device** (the `signal-cli` account).
|
||||
- If you run the bot on **your personal Signal account**, it will ignore your own messages (loop protection).
|
||||
- For "I text the bot and it replies," use a **separate bot number**.
|
||||
|
||||
## Setup (fast path)
|
||||
|
||||
1. Install `signal-cli` (Java required).
|
||||
2. Link a bot account:
|
||||
- `signal-cli link -n "OpenClaw"` then scan the QR in Signal.
|
||||
3. Configure Signal and start the gateway.
|
||||
|
||||
Example:
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
channels: {
|
||||
signal: {
|
||||
enabled: true,
|
||||
account: "+15551234567",
|
||||
cliPath: "signal-cli",
|
||||
dmPolicy: "pairing",
|
||||
allowFrom: ["+15557654321"],
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Multi-account support: use `channels.signal.accounts` with per-account config and optional `name`. See [`gateway/configuration`](/gateway/configuration#telegramaccounts--discordaccounts--slackaccounts--signalaccounts--imessageaccounts) for the shared pattern.
|
||||
|
||||
## External daemon mode (httpUrl)
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to manage `signal-cli` yourself (slow JVM cold starts, container init, or shared CPUs), run the daemon separately and point OpenClaw at it:
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
channels: {
|
||||
signal: {
|
||||
httpUrl: "http://127.0.0.1:8080",
|
||||
autoStart: false,
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This skips auto-spawn and the startup wait inside OpenClaw. For slow starts when auto-spawning, set `channels.signal.startupTimeoutMs`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Access control (DMs + groups)
|
||||
|
||||
DMs:
|
||||
|
||||
- Default: `channels.signal.dmPolicy = "pairing"`.
|
||||
- Unknown senders receive a pairing code; messages are ignored until approved (codes expire after 1 hour).
|
||||
- Approve via:
|
||||
- `openclaw pairing list signal`
|
||||
- `openclaw pairing approve signal <CODE>`
|
||||
- Pairing is the default token exchange for Signal DMs. Details: [Pairing](/start/pairing)
|
||||
- UUID-only senders (from `sourceUuid`) are stored as `uuid:<id>` in `channels.signal.allowFrom`.
|
||||
|
||||
Groups:
|
||||
|
||||
- `channels.signal.groupPolicy = open | allowlist | disabled`.
|
||||
- `channels.signal.groupAllowFrom` controls who can trigger in groups when `allowlist` is set.
|
||||
|
||||
## How it works (behavior)
|
||||
|
||||
- `signal-cli` runs as a daemon; the gateway reads events via SSE.
|
||||
- Inbound messages are normalized into the shared channel envelope.
|
||||
- Replies always route back to the same number or group.
|
||||
|
||||
## Media + limits
|
||||
|
||||
- Outbound text is chunked to `channels.signal.textChunkLimit` (default 4000).
|
||||
- Optional newline chunking: set `channels.signal.chunkMode="newline"` to split on blank lines (paragraph boundaries) before length chunking.
|
||||
- Attachments supported (base64 fetched from `signal-cli`).
|
||||
- Default media cap: `channels.signal.mediaMaxMb` (default 8).
|
||||
- Use `channels.signal.ignoreAttachments` to skip downloading media.
|
||||
- Group history context uses `channels.signal.historyLimit` (or `channels.signal.accounts.*.historyLimit`), falling back to `messages.groupChat.historyLimit`. Set `0` to disable (default 50).
|
||||
|
||||
## Typing + read receipts
|
||||
|
||||
- **Typing indicators**: OpenClaw sends typing signals via `signal-cli sendTyping` and refreshes them while a reply is running.
|
||||
- **Read receipts**: when `channels.signal.sendReadReceipts` is true, OpenClaw forwards read receipts for allowed DMs.
|
||||
- Signal-cli does not expose read receipts for groups.
|
||||
|
||||
## Reactions (message tool)
|
||||
|
||||
- Use `message action=react` with `channel=signal`.
|
||||
- Targets: sender E.164 or UUID (use `uuid:<id>` from pairing output; bare UUID works too).
|
||||
- `messageId` is the Signal timestamp for the message you’re reacting to.
|
||||
- Group reactions require `targetAuthor` or `targetAuthorUuid`.
|
||||
|
||||
Examples:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
message action=react channel=signal target=uuid:123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426614174000 messageId=1737630212345 emoji=🔥
|
||||
message action=react channel=signal target=+15551234567 messageId=1737630212345 emoji=🔥 remove=true
|
||||
message action=react channel=signal target=signal:group:<groupId> targetAuthor=uuid:<sender-uuid> messageId=1737630212345 emoji=✅
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Config:
|
||||
|
||||
- `channels.signal.actions.reactions`: enable/disable reaction actions (default true).
|
||||
- `channels.signal.reactionLevel`: `off | ack | minimal | extensive`.
|
||||
- `off`/`ack` disables agent reactions (message tool `react` will error).
|
||||
- `minimal`/`extensive` enables agent reactions and sets the guidance level.
|
||||
- Per-account overrides: `channels.signal.accounts.<id>.actions.reactions`, `channels.signal.accounts.<id>.reactionLevel`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Delivery targets (CLI/cron)
|
||||
|
||||
- DMs: `signal:+15551234567` (or plain E.164).
|
||||
- UUID DMs: `uuid:<id>` (or bare UUID).
|
||||
- Groups: `signal:group:<groupId>`.
|
||||
- Usernames: `username:<name>` (if supported by your Signal account).

# Slack
|
||||
|
||||
## Socket mode (default)
|
||||
|
||||
### Quick setup (beginner)
|
||||
|
||||
1. Create a Slack app and enable **Socket Mode**.
|
||||
2. Create an **App Token** (`xapp-...`) and **Bot Token** (`xoxb-...`).
|
||||
3. Set tokens for OpenClaw and start the gateway.
|
||||
|
||||
Minimal config:
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
channels: {
|
||||
slack: {
|
||||
enabled: true,
|
||||
appToken: "xapp-...",
|
||||
botToken: "xoxb-...",
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Setup
|
||||
|
||||
1. Create a Slack app (From scratch) in https://api.slack.com/apps.
|
||||
2. **Socket Mode** → toggle on. Then go to **Basic Information** → **App-Level Tokens** → **Generate Token and Scopes** with scope `connections:write`. Copy the **App Token** (`xapp-...`).
|
||||
3. **OAuth & Permissions** → add bot token scopes (use the manifest below). Click **Install to Workspace**. Copy the **Bot User OAuth Token** (`xoxb-...`).
|
||||
4. Optional: **OAuth & Permissions** → add **User Token Scopes** (see the read-only list below). Reinstall the app and copy the **User OAuth Token** (`xoxp-...`).
|
||||
5. **Event Subscriptions** → enable events and subscribe to:
|
||||
- `message.*` (includes edits/deletes/thread broadcasts)
|
||||
- `app_mention`
|
||||
- `reaction_added`, `reaction_removed`
|
||||
- `member_joined_channel`, `member_left_channel`
|
||||
- `channel_rename`
|
||||
- `pin_added`, `pin_removed`
|
||||
6. Invite the bot to channels you want it to read.
|
||||
7. Slash Commands → create `/openclaw` if you use `channels.slack.slashCommand`. If you enable native commands, add one slash command per built-in command (same names as `/help`). Native defaults to off for Slack unless you set `channels.slack.commands.native: true` (global `commands.native` is `"auto"` which leaves Slack off).
|
||||
8. App Home → enable the **Messages Tab** so users can DM the bot.
|
||||
|
||||
Use the manifest below so scopes and events stay in sync.
|
||||
|
||||
Multi-account support: use `channels.slack.accounts` with per-account tokens and optional `name`. See [`gateway/configuration`](/gateway/configuration#telegramaccounts--discordaccounts--slackaccounts--signalaccounts--imessageaccounts) for the shared pattern.
|
||||
|
||||
### OpenClaw config (minimal)
|
||||
|
||||
Set tokens via env vars (recommended):
|
||||
|
||||
- `SLACK_APP_TOKEN=xapp-...`
|
||||
- `SLACK_BOT_TOKEN=xoxb-...`
|
||||
|
||||
Or via config:
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
channels: {
|
||||
slack: {
|
||||
enabled: true,
|
||||
appToken: "xapp-...",
|
||||
botToken: "xoxb-...",
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### User token (optional)
|
||||
|
||||
OpenClaw can use a Slack user token (`xoxp-...`) for read operations (history,
|
||||
pins, reactions, emoji, member info). By default this stays read-only: reads
|
||||
prefer the user token when present, and writes still use the bot token unless
|
||||
you explicitly opt in. Even with `userTokenReadOnly: false`, the bot token stays
|
||||
preferred for writes when it is available.
|
||||
|
||||
User tokens are configured in the config file (no env var support). For
|
||||
multi-account, set `channels.slack.accounts.<id>.userToken`.
|
||||
|
||||
Example with bot + app + user tokens:
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
channels: {
|
||||
slack: {
|
||||
enabled: true,
|
||||
appToken: "xapp-...",
|
||||
botToken: "xoxb-...",
|
||||
userToken: "xoxp-...",
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Example with userTokenReadOnly explicitly set (allow user token writes):
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
channels: {
|
||||
slack: {
|
||||
enabled: true,
|
||||
appToken: "xapp-...",
|
||||
botToken: "xoxb-...",
|
||||
userToken: "xoxp-...",
|
||||
userTokenReadOnly: false,
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Token usage
|
||||
|
||||
- Read operations (history, reactions list, pins list, emoji list, member info,
|
||||
search) prefer the user token when configured, otherwise the bot token.
|
||||
- Write operations (send/edit/delete messages, add/remove reactions, pin/unpin,
|
||||
file uploads) use the bot token by default. If `userTokenReadOnly: false` and
|
||||
no bot token is available, OpenClaw falls back to the user token.
|
||||
|
||||
### History context
|
||||
|
||||
- `channels.slack.historyLimit` (or `channels.slack.accounts.*.historyLimit`) controls how many recent channel/group messages are wrapped into the prompt.
|
||||
- Falls back to `messages.groupChat.historyLimit`. Set `0` to disable (default 50).
|
||||
|
||||
## HTTP mode (Events API)
|
||||
|
||||
Use HTTP webhook mode when your Gateway is reachable by Slack over HTTPS (typical for server deployments).
|
||||
HTTP mode uses the Events API + Interactivity + Slash Commands with a shared request URL.
|
||||
|
||||
### Setup
|
||||
|
||||
1. Create a Slack app and **disable Socket Mode** (optional if you only use HTTP).
|
||||
2. **Basic Information** → copy the **Signing Secret**.
|
||||
3. **OAuth & Permissions** → install the app and copy the **Bot User OAuth Token** (`xoxb-...`).
|
||||
4. **Event Subscriptions** → enable events and set the **Request URL** to your gateway webhook path (default `/slack/events`).
|
||||
5. **Interactivity & Shortcuts** → enable and set the same **Request URL**.
|
||||
6. **Slash Commands** → set the same **Request URL** for your command(s).
|
||||
|
||||
Example request URL:
|
||||
`https://gateway-host/slack/events`
|
||||
|
||||
### OpenClaw config (minimal)
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
channels: {
|
||||
slack: {
|
||||
enabled: true,
|
||||
mode: "http",
|
||||
botToken: "xoxb-...",
|
||||
signingSecret: "your-signing-secret",
|
||||
webhookPath: "/slack/events",
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Multi-account HTTP mode: set `channels.slack.accounts.<id>.mode = "http"` and provide a unique
|
||||
`webhookPath` per account so each Slack app can point to its own URL.
|
||||
|
||||
### Manifest (optional)
|
||||
|
||||
Use this Slack app manifest to create the app quickly (adjust the name/command if you want). Include the
|
||||
user scopes if you plan to configure a user token.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
]
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If you enable native commands, add one `slash_commands` entry per command you want to expose (matching the `/help` list). Override with `channels.slack.commands.native`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Scopes (current vs optional)
|
||||
|
||||
Slack's Conversations API is type-scoped: you only need the scopes for the
|
||||
conversation types you actually touch (channels, groups, im, mpim). See
|
||||
https://docs.slack.dev/apis/web-api/using-the-conversations-api/ for the overview.
|
||||
|
||||
### Bot token scopes (required)
|
||||
|
||||
- `chat:write` (send/update/delete messages via `chat.postMessage`)
|
||||
https://docs.slack.dev/reference/methods/chat.postMessage
|
||||
- `im:write` (open DMs via `conversations.open` for user DMs)
|
||||
https://docs.slack.dev/reference/methods/conversations.open
|
||||
- `channels:history`, `groups:history`, `im:history`, `mpim:history`
|
||||
https://docs.slack.dev/reference/methods/conversations.history
|
||||
- `channels:read`, `groups:read`, `im:read`, `mpim:read`
|
||||
https://docs.slack.dev/reference/methods/conversations.info
|
||||

|
||||
https://docs.slack.dev/reference/methods/users.info
|
||||
- `reactions:read`, `reactions:write` (`reactions.get` / `reactions.add`)
|
||||
https://docs.slack.dev/reference/methods/reactions.get
|
||||
https://docs.slack.dev/reference/methods/reactions.add
|
||||
- `pins:read`, `pins:write` (`pins.list` / `pins.add` / `pins.remove`)
|
||||
https://docs.slack.dev/reference/scopes/pins.read
|
||||
https://docs.slack.dev/reference/scopes/pins.write
|
||||
- `emoji:read` (`emoji.list`)
|
||||
https://docs.slack.dev/reference/scopes/emoji.read
|
||||
- `files:write` (uploads via `files.uploadV2`)
|
||||
https://docs.slack.dev/messaging/working-with-files/#upload
|
||||
|
||||
### User token scopes (optional, read-only by default)
|
||||
|
||||
Add these under **User Token Scopes** if you configure `channels.slack.userToken`.
|
||||
|
||||
- `channels:history`, `groups:history`, `im:history`, `mpim:history`
|
||||
- `channels:read`, `groups:read`, `im:read`, `mpim:read`
|
||||

|
||||
- `search:read`
|
||||
|
||||
### Not needed today (but likely future)
|
||||
|
||||
- `mpim:write` (only if we add group-DM open/DM start via `conversations.open`)
|
||||
- `groups:write` (only if we add private-channel management: create/rename/invite/archive)
|
||||
- `chat:write.public` (only if we want to post to channels the bot isn't in)
|
||||
https://docs.slack.dev/reference/scopes/chat.write.public
|
||||
- `users:read.email` (only if we need email fields from `users.info`)
|
||||
https://docs.slack.dev/changelog/2017-04-narrowing-email-access
|
||||
- `files:read` (only if we start listing/reading file metadata)
|
||||
|
||||
## Config
|
||||
|
||||
Slack uses Socket Mode only (no HTTP webhook server). Provide both tokens:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"slack": {
|
||||
"enabled": true,
|
||||
"botToken": "xoxb-...",
|
||||
"appToken": "xapp-...",
|
||||
"groupPolicy": "allowlist",
|
||||
"dm": {
|
||||
"enabled": true,
|
||||
"policy": "pairing",
|
||||
"allowFrom": ["U123", "U456", "*"],
|
||||
"groupEnabled": false,
|
||||
"groupChannels": ["G123"],
|
||||
"replyToMode": "all"
|
||||
},
|
||||
"channels": {
|
||||
"C123": { "allow": true, "requireMention": true },
|
||||
"#general": {
|
||||
"allow": true,
|
||||
"requireMention": true,
|
||||
"users": ["U123"],
|
||||
"skills": ["search", "docs"],
|
||||
"systemPrompt": "Keep answers short."
|
||||
}
|
||||
},
|
||||
"reactionNotifications": "own",
|
||||
"reactionAllowlist": ["U123"],
|
||||
"replyToMode": "off",
|
||||
"actions": {
|
||||
"reactions": true,
|
||||
"messages": true,
|
||||
"pins": true,
|
||||
"memberInfo": true,
|
||||
"emojiList": true
|
||||
},
|
||||
"slashCommand": {
|
||||
"enabled": true,
|
||||
"name": "openclaw",
|
||||
"sessionPrefix": "slack:slash",
|
||||
"ephemeral": true
|
||||
},
|
||||
"textChunkLimit": 4000,
|
||||
"mediaMaxMb": 20
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Tokens can also be supplied via env vars:
|
||||
|
||||
- `SLACK_BOT_TOKEN`
|
||||
- `SLACK_APP_TOKEN`
|
||||
|
||||
Ack reactions are controlled globally via `messages.ackReaction` +
|
||||
`messages.ackReactionScope`. Use `messages.removeAckAfterReply` to clear the
|
||||
ack reaction after the bot replies.
|
||||
|
||||
## Limits
|
||||
|
||||
- Outbound text is chunked to `channels.slack.textChunkLimit` (default 4000).
|
||||
- Optional newline chunking: set `channels.slack.chunkMode="newline"` to split on blank lines (paragraph boundaries) before length chunking.
|
||||
- Media uploads are capped by `channels.slack.mediaMaxMb` (default 20).
|
||||
|
||||
## Reply threading
|
||||
|
||||
By default, OpenClaw replies in the main channel. Use `channels.slack.replyToMode` to control automatic threading:
|
||||
|
||||
| Mode | Behavior |
|
||||
| ------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
||||
| `off` | **Default.** Reply in main channel. Only thread if the triggering message was already in a thread. |
|
||||
| `first` | First reply goes to thread (under the triggering message), subsequent replies go to main channel. Useful for keeping context visible while avoiding thread clutter. |
|
||||
| `all` | All replies go to thread. Keeps conversations contained but may reduce visibility. |
|
||||
|
||||
The mode applies to both auto-replies and agent tool calls (`slack sendMessage`).
|
||||
|
||||
### Per-chat-type threading
|
||||
|
||||
You can configure different threading behavior per chat type by setting `channels.slack.replyToModeByChatType`:
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
channels: {
|
||||
slack: {
|
||||
replyToMode: "off", // default for channels
|
||||
replyToModeByChatType: {
|
||||
direct: "all", // DMs always thread
|
||||
group: "first", // group DMs/MPIM thread first reply
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Supported chat types:
|
||||
|
||||
- `direct`: 1:1 DMs (Slack `im`)
|
||||
- `group`: group DMs / MPIMs (Slack `mpim`)
|
||||
- `channel`: standard channels (public/private)
|
||||
|
||||
Precedence:
|
||||
|
||||
1. `replyToModeByChatType.<chatType>`
|
||||
2. `replyToMode`
|
||||
3. Provider default (`off`)
|
||||
|
||||
Legacy `channels.slack.dm.replyToMode` is still accepted as a fallback for `direct` when no chat-type override is set.
|
||||
|
||||
Examples:
|
||||
|
||||
Thread DMs only:
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
channels: {
|
||||
slack: {
|
||||
replyToMode: "off",
|
||||
replyToModeByChatType: { direct: "all" },
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Thread group DMs but keep channels in the root:
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
channels: {
|
||||
slack: {
|
||||
replyToMode: "off",
|
||||
replyToModeByChatType: { group: "first" },
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Make channels thread, keep DMs in the root:
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
channels: {
|
||||
slack: {
|
||||
replyToMode: "first",
|
||||
replyToModeByChatType: { direct: "off", group: "off" },
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Manual threading tags
|
||||
|
||||
For fine-grained control, use these tags in agent responses:
|
||||
|
||||
- `[[reply_to_current]]` — reply to the triggering message (start/continue thread).
|
||||
- `[[reply_to:<id>]]` — reply to a specific message id.
|
||||
|
||||
## Sessions + routing
|
||||
|
||||
- DMs share the `main` session (like WhatsApp/Telegram).
|
||||
- Channels map to `agent:<agentId>:slack:channel:<channelId>` sessions.
|
||||
- Slash commands use `agent:<agentId>:slack:slash:<userId>` sessions (prefix configurable via `channels.slack.slashCommand.sessionPrefix`).
|
||||
- If Slack doesn’t provide `channel_type`, OpenClaw infers it from the channel ID prefix (`D`, `C`, `G`) and defaults to `channel` to keep session keys stable.
|
||||
- Native command registration uses `commands.native` (global default `"auto"` → Slack off) and can be overridden per-workspace with `channels.slack.commands.native`. Text commands require standalone `/...` messages and can be disabled with `commands.text: false`. Slack slash commands are managed in the Slack app and are not removed automatically. Use `commands.useAccessGroups: false` to bypass access-group checks for commands.
|
||||
- Full command list + config: [Slash commands](/tools/slash-commands)
|
||||
|
||||
## DM security (pairing)
|
||||
|
||||
- Default: `channels.slack.dm.policy="pairing"` — unknown DM senders get a pairing code (expires after 1 hour).
|
||||
- Approve via: `openclaw pairing approve slack <code>`.
|
||||
- To allow anyone: set `channels.slack.dm.policy="open"` and `channels.slack.dm.allowFrom=["*"]`.
|
||||
- `channels.slack.dm.allowFrom` accepts user IDs, @handles, or emails (resolved at startup when tokens allow). The wizard accepts usernames and resolves them to ids during setup when tokens allow.
|
||||
|
||||
## Group policy
|
||||
|
||||
- `channels.slack.groupPolicy` controls channel handling (`open|disabled|allowlist`).
|
||||
- `allowlist` requires channels to be listed in `channels.slack.channels`.
|
||||
- If you only set `SLACK_BOT_TOKEN`/`SLACK_APP_TOKEN` and never create a `channels.slack` section,
|
||||
the runtime defaults `groupPolicy` to `open`. Add `channels.slack.groupPolicy`,
|
||||
`channels.defaults.groupPolicy`, or a channel allowlist to lock it down.
|
||||
- The configure wizard accepts `#channel` names and resolves them to IDs when possible
|
||||
(public + private); if multiple matches exist, it prefers the active channel.
|
||||
- On startup, OpenClaw resolves channel/user names in allowlists to IDs (when tokens allow)
|
||||
and logs the mapping; unresolved entries are kept as typed.
|
||||
- To allow **no channels**, set `channels.slack.groupPolicy: "disabled"` (or keep an empty allowlist).
|
||||
|
||||
Channel options (`channels.slack.channels.<id>` or `channels.slack.channels.<name>`):
|
||||
|
||||
- `allow`: allow/deny the channel when `groupPolicy="allowlist"`.
|
||||
- `requireMention`: mention gating for the channel.
|
||||
- `tools`: optional per-channel tool policy overrides (`allow`/`deny`/`alsoAllow`).
|
||||
- `toolsBySender`: optional per-sender tool policy overrides within the channel (keys are sender ids/@handles/emails; `"*"` wildcard supported).
|
||||
- `allowBots`: allow bot-authored messages in this channel (default: false).
|
||||
- `users`: optional per-channel user allowlist.
|
||||
- `skills`: skill filter (omit = all skills, empty = none).
|
||||
- `systemPrompt`: extra system prompt for the channel (combined with topic/purpose).
|
||||
- `enabled`: set `false` to disable the channel.
|
||||
|
||||
## Delivery targets
|
||||
|
||||
Use these with cron/CLI sends:
|
||||
|
||||
- `user:<id>` for DMs
|
||||
- `channel:<id>` for channels
|
||||
|
||||
## Tool actions
|
||||
|
||||
Slack tool actions can be gated with `channels.slack.actions.*`:
|
||||
|
||||
| Action group | Default | Notes |
|
||||
| ------------ | ------- | ---------------------- |
|
||||
| reactions | enabled | React + list reactions |
|
||||
| messages | enabled | Read/send/edit/delete |
|
||||
| pins | enabled | Pin/unpin/list |
|
||||
| memberInfo | enabled | Member info |
|
||||
| emojiList | enabled | Custom emoji list |
|
||||
|
||||
## Security notes
|
||||
|
||||
- Writes default to the bot token so state-changing actions stay scoped to the
|
||||
app's bot permissions and identity.
|
||||
- Setting `userTokenReadOnly: false` allows the user token to be used for write
|
||||
operations when a bot token is unavailable, which means actions run with the
|
||||
installing user's access. Treat the user token as highly privileged and keep
|
||||
action gates and allowlists tight.
|
||||
- If you enable user-token writes, make sure the user token includes the write
|
||||
scopes you expect (`chat:write`, `reactions:write`, `pins:write`,
|
||||
`files:write`) or those operations will fail.
|
||||
|
||||
## Notes
|
||||
|
||||
- Mention gating is controlled via `channels.slack.channels` (set `requireMention` to `true`); `agents.list[].groupChat.mentionPatterns` (or `messages.groupChat.mentionPatterns`) also count as mentions.
|
||||
- Multi-agent override: set per-agent patterns on `agents.list[].groupChat.mentionPatterns`.
|
||||
- Reaction notifications follow `channels.slack.reactionNotifications` (use `reactionAllowlist` with mode `allowlist`).
|
||||
- Bot-authored messages are ignored by default; enable via `channels.slack.allowBots` or `channels.slack.channels.<id>.allowBots`.
|
||||
- Warning: If you allow replies to other bots (`channels.slack.allowBots=true` or `channels.slack.channels.<id>.allowBots=true`), prevent bot-to-bot reply loops with `requireMention`, `channels.slack.channels.<id>.users` allowlists, and/or clear guardrails in `AGENTS.md` and `SOUL.md`.
|
||||
- For the Slack tool, reaction removal semantics are in [/tools/reactions](/tools/reactions).
|
||||
- Attachments are downloaded to the media store when permitted and under the size limit.

# Telegram (Bot API)
|
||||
|
||||
Status: production-ready for bot DMs + groups via grammY. Long-polling by default; webhook optional.
|
||||
|
||||
## Quick setup (beginner)
|
||||
|
||||
1. Create a bot with **@BotFather** ([direct link](https://t.me/BotFather)). Confirm the handle is exactly `@BotFather`, then copy the token.
|
||||
2. Set the token:
|
||||
- Env: `TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN=...`
|
||||
- Or config: `channels.telegram.botToken: "..."`.
|
||||
- If both are set, config takes precedence (env fallback is default-account only).
|
||||
3. Start the gateway.
|
||||
4. DM access is pairing by default; approve the pairing code on first contact.
|
||||
|
||||
Minimal config:
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
channels: {
|
||||
telegram: {
|
||||
enabled: true,
|
||||
botToken: "123:abc",
|
||||
dmPolicy: "pairing",
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## What it is
|
||||
|
||||
- A Telegram Bot API channel owned by the Gateway.
|
||||
- Deterministic routing: replies go back to Telegram; the model never chooses channels.
|
||||
- DMs share the agent's main session; groups stay isolated (`agent:<agentId>:telegram:group:<chatId>`).
|
||||
|
||||
## Setup (fast path)
|
||||
|
||||
### 1) Create a bot token (BotFather)
|
||||
|
||||
1. Open Telegram and chat with **@BotFather** ([direct link](https://t.me/BotFather)). Confirm the handle is exactly `@BotFather`.
|
||||
2. Run `/newbot`, then follow the prompts (name + username ending in `bot`).
|
||||
3. Copy the token and store it safely.
|
||||
|
||||
Optional BotFather settings:
|
||||
|
||||
- `/setjoingroups` — allow/deny adding the bot to groups.
|
||||
- `/setprivacy` — control whether the bot sees all group messages.
|
||||
|
||||
### 2) Configure the token (env or config)
|
||||
|
||||
Example:
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
channels: {
|
||||
telegram: {
|
||||
enabled: true,
|
||||
botToken: "123:abc",
|
||||
dmPolicy: "pairing",
|
||||
groups: { "*": { requireMention: true } },
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Env option: `TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN=...` (works for the default account).
|
||||
If both env and config are set, config takes precedence.
|
||||
|
||||
Multi-account support: use `channels.telegram.accounts` with per-account tokens and optional `name`. See [`gateway/configuration`](/gateway/configuration#telegramaccounts--discordaccounts--slackaccounts--signalaccounts--imessageaccounts) for the shared pattern.
|
||||
|
||||
3. Start the gateway. Telegram starts when a token is resolved (config first, env fallback).
|
||||
4. DM access defaults to pairing. Approve the code when the bot is first contacted.
|
||||
5. For groups: add the bot, decide privacy/admin behavior (below), then set `channels.telegram.groups` to control mention gating + allowlists.
|
||||
|
||||
## Token + privacy + permissions (Telegram side)
|
||||
|
||||
### Token creation (BotFather)
|
||||
|
||||
- `/newbot` creates the bot and returns the token (keep it secret).
|
||||
- If a token leaks, revoke/regenerate it via @BotFather and update your config.
|
||||
|
||||
### Group message visibility (Privacy Mode)
|
||||
|
||||
Telegram bots default to **Privacy Mode**, which limits which group messages they receive.
|
||||
If your bot must see _all_ group messages, you have two options:
|
||||
|
||||
- Disable privacy mode with `/setprivacy` **or**
|
||||
- Add the bot as a group **admin** (admin bots receive all messages).
|
||||
|
||||
**Note:** When you toggle privacy mode, Telegram requires removing + re‑adding the bot
|
||||
to each group for the change to take effect.
|
||||
|
||||
### Group permissions (admin rights)
|
||||
|
||||
Admin status is set inside the group (Telegram UI). Admin bots always receive all
|
||||
group messages, so use admin if you need full visibility.
|
||||
|
||||
## How it works (behavior)
|
||||
|
||||
- Inbound messages are normalized into the shared channel envelope with reply context and media placeholders.
|
||||
- Group replies require a mention by default (native @mention or `agents.list[].groupChat.mentionPatterns` / `messages.groupChat.mentionPatterns`).
|
||||
- Multi-agent override: set per-agent patterns on `agents.list[].groupChat.mentionPatterns`.
|
||||
- Replies always route back to the same Telegram chat.
|
||||
- Long-polling uses grammY runner with per-chat sequencing; overall concurrency is capped by `agents.defaults.maxConcurrent`.
|
||||
- Telegram Bot API does not support read receipts; there is no `sendReadReceipts` option.
|
||||
|
||||
## Draft streaming
|
||||
|
||||
OpenClaw can stream partial replies in Telegram DMs using `sendMessageDraft`.
|
||||
|
||||
Requirements:
|
||||
|
||||
- Threaded Mode enabled for the bot in @BotFather (forum topic mode).
|
||||
- Private chat threads only (Telegram includes `message_thread_id` on inbound messages).
|
||||
- `channels.telegram.streamMode` not set to `"off"` (default: `"partial"`, `"block"` enables chunked draft updates).
|
||||
|
||||
Draft streaming is DM-only; Telegram does not support it in groups or channels.
|
||||
|
||||
## Formatting (Telegram HTML)
|
||||
|
||||
- Outbound Telegram text uses `parse_mode: "HTML"` (Telegram’s supported tag subset).
|
||||
- Markdown-ish input is rendered into **Telegram-safe HTML** (bold/italic/strike/code/links); block elements are flattened to text with newlines/bullets.
|
||||
- Raw HTML from models is escaped to avoid Telegram parse errors.
|
||||
- If Telegram rejects the HTML payload, OpenClaw retries the same message as plain text.
|
||||
|
||||
## Commands (native + custom)
|
||||
|
||||
OpenClaw registers native commands (like `/status`, `/reset`, `/model`) with Telegram’s bot menu on startup.
|
||||
You can add custom commands to the menu via config:
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
channels: {
|
||||
telegram: {
|
||||
customCommands: [
|
||||
{ command: "backup", description: "Git backup" },
|
||||
{ command: "generate", description: "Create an image" },
|
||||
],
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
- `setMyCommands failed` in logs usually means outbound HTTPS/DNS is blocked to `api.telegram.org`.
|
||||
- If you see `sendMessage` or `sendChatAction` failures, check IPv6 routing and DNS.
|
||||
|
||||
More help: [Channel troubleshooting](/channels/troubleshooting).
|
||||
|
||||
Notes:
|
||||
|
||||
- Custom commands are **menu entries only**; OpenClaw does not implement them unless you handle them elsewhere.
|
||||
- Command names are normalized (leading `/` stripped, lowercased) and must match `a-z`, `0-9`, `_` (1–32 chars).
|
||||
- Custom commands **cannot override native commands**. Conflicts are ignored and logged.
|
||||
- If `commands.native` is disabled, only custom commands are registered (or cleared if none).
|
||||
|
||||
## Limits
|
||||
|
||||
- Outbound text is chunked to `channels.telegram.textChunkLimit` (default 4000).
|
||||
- Optional newline chunking: set `channels.telegram.chunkMode="newline"` to split on blank lines (paragraph boundaries) before length chunking.
|
||||
- Media downloads/uploads are capped by `channels.telegram.mediaMaxMb` (default 5).
|
||||
- Telegram Bot API requests time out after `channels.telegram.timeoutSeconds` (default 500 via grammY). Set lower to avoid long hangs.
|
||||
- Group history context uses `channels.telegram.historyLimit` (or `channels.telegram.accounts.*.historyLimit`), falling back to `messages.groupChat.historyLimit`. Set `0` to disable (default 50).
|
||||
- DM history can be limited with `channels.telegram.dmHistoryLimit` (user turns). Per-user overrides: `channels.telegram.dms["<user_id>"].historyLimit`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Group activation modes
|
||||
|
||||
By default, the bot only responds to mentions in groups (`@botname` or patterns in `agents.list[].groupChat.mentionPatterns`). To change this behavior:
|
||||
|
||||
### Via config (recommended)
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
channels: {
|
||||
telegram: {
|
||||
groups: {
|
||||
"-1001234567890": { requireMention: false }, // always respond in this group
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Important:** Setting `channels.telegram.groups` creates an **allowlist** - only listed groups (or `"*"`) will be accepted.
|
||||
Forum topics inherit their parent group config (allowFrom, requireMention, skills, prompts) unless you add per-topic overrides under `channels.telegram.groups.<groupId>.topics.<topicId>`.
|
||||
|
||||
To allow all groups with always-respond:
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
channels: {
|
||||
telegram: {
|
||||
groups: {
|
||||
"*": { requireMention: false }, // all groups, always respond
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
To keep mention-only for all groups (default behavior):
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
channels: {
|
||||
telegram: {
|
||||
groups: {
|
||||
"*": { requireMention: true }, // or omit groups entirely
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Via command (session-level)
|
||||
|
||||
Send in the group:
|
||||
|
||||
- `/activation always` - respond to all messages
|
||||
- `/activation mention` - require mentions (default)
|
||||
|
||||
**Note:** Commands update session state only. For persistent behavior across restarts, use config.
|
||||
|
||||
### Getting the group chat ID
|
||||
|
||||
Forward any message from the group to `@userinfobot` or `@getidsbot` on Telegram to see the chat ID (negative number like `-1001234567890`).
|
||||
|
||||
**Tip:** For your own user ID, DM the bot and it will reply with your user ID (pairing message), or use `/whoami` once commands are enabled.
|
||||
|
||||
**Privacy note:** `@userinfobot` is a third-party bot. If you prefer, add the bot to the group, send a message, and use `openclaw logs --follow` to read `chat.id`, or use the Bot API `getUpdates`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Config writes
|
||||
|
||||
By default, Telegram is allowed to write config updates triggered by channel events or `/config set|unset`.
|
||||
|
||||
This happens when:
|
||||
|
||||
- A group is upgraded to a supergroup and Telegram emits `migrate_to_chat_id` (chat ID changes). OpenClaw can migrate `channels.telegram.groups` automatically.
|
||||
- You run `/config set` or `/config unset` in a Telegram chat (requires `commands.config: true`).
|
||||
|
||||
Disable with:
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
channels: { telegram: { configWrites: false } },
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Topics (forum supergroups)
|
||||
|
||||
Telegram forum topics include a `message_thread_id` per message. OpenClaw:
|
||||
|
||||
- Appends `:topic:<threadId>` to the Telegram group session key so each topic is isolated.
|
||||
- Sends typing indicators and replies with `message_thread_id` so responses stay in the topic.
|
||||
- General topic (thread id `1`) is special: message sends omit `message_thread_id` (Telegram rejects it), but typing indicators still include it.
|
||||
- Exposes `MessageThreadId` + `IsForum` in template context for routing/templating.
|
||||
- Topic-specific configuration is available under `channels.telegram.groups.<chatId>.topics.<threadId>` (skills, allowlists, auto-reply, system prompts, disable).
|
||||
- Topic configs inherit group settings (requireMention, allowlists, skills, prompts, enabled) unless overridden per topic.
|
||||
|
||||
Private chats can include `message_thread_id` in some edge cases. OpenClaw keeps the DM session key unchanged, but still uses the thread id for replies/draft streaming when it is present.
|
||||
|
||||
## Inline Buttons
|
||||
|
||||
Telegram supports inline keyboards with callback buttons.
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
channels: {
|
||||
telegram: {
|
||||
capabilities: {
|
||||
inlineButtons: "allowlist",
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
For per-account configuration:
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
channels: {
|
||||
telegram: {
|
||||
accounts: {
|
||||
main: {
|
||||
capabilities: {
|
||||
inlineButtons: "allowlist",
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Scopes:
|
||||
|
||||
- `off` — inline buttons disabled
|
||||
- `dm` — only DMs (group targets blocked)
|
||||
- `group` — only groups (DM targets blocked)
|
||||
- `all` — DMs + groups
|
||||
- `allowlist` — DMs + groups, but only senders allowed by `allowFrom`/`groupAllowFrom` (same rules as control commands)
|
||||
|
||||
Default: `allowlist`.
|
||||
Legacy: `capabilities: ["inlineButtons"]` = `inlineButtons: "all"`.
|
||||
|
||||
### Sending buttons
|
||||
|
||||
Use the message tool with the `buttons` parameter:
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
action: "send",
|
||||
channel: "telegram",
|
||||
to: "123456789",
|
||||
message: "Choose an option:",
|
||||
buttons: [
|
||||
[
|
||||
{ text: "Yes", callback_data: "yes" },
|
||||
{ text: "No", callback_data: "no" },
|
||||
],
|
||||
[{ text: "Cancel", callback_data: "cancel" }],
|
||||
],
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
When a user clicks a button, the callback data is sent back to the agent as a message with the format:
|
||||
`callback_data: value`
|
||||
|
||||
### Configuration options
|
||||
|
||||
Telegram capabilities can be configured at two levels (object form shown above; legacy string arrays still supported):
|
||||
|
||||
- `channels.telegram.capabilities`: Global default capability config applied to all Telegram accounts unless overridden.
|
||||
- `channels.telegram.accounts.<account>.capabilities`: Per-account capabilities that override the global defaults for that specific account.
|
||||
|
||||
Use the global setting when all Telegram bots/accounts should behave the same. Use per-account configuration when different bots need different behaviors (for example, one account only handles DMs while another is allowed in groups).
|
||||
|
||||
## Access control (DMs + groups)
|
||||
|
||||
### DM access
|
||||
|
||||
- Default: `channels.telegram.dmPolicy = "pairing"`. Unknown senders receive a pairing code; messages are ignored until approved (codes expire after 1 hour).
|
||||
- Approve via:
|
||||
- `openclaw pairing list telegram`
|
||||
- `openclaw pairing approve telegram <CODE>`
|
||||
- Pairing is the default token exchange used for Telegram DMs. Details: [Pairing](/start/pairing)
|
||||
- `channels.telegram.allowFrom` accepts numeric user IDs (recommended) or `@username` entries. It is **not** the bot username; use the human sender’s ID. The wizard accepts `@username` and resolves it to the numeric ID when possible.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Finding your Telegram user ID
|
||||
|
||||
Safer (no third-party bot):
|
||||
|
||||
1. Start the gateway and DM your bot.
|
||||
2. Run `openclaw logs --follow` and look for `from.id`.
|
||||
|
||||
Alternate (official Bot API):
|
||||
|
||||
1. DM your bot.
|
||||
2. Fetch updates with your bot token and read `message.from.id`:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
curl "https://api.telegram.org/bot<bot_token>/getUpdates"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Third-party (less private):
|
||||
|
||||
- DM `@userinfobot` or `@getidsbot` and use the returned user id.
|
||||
|
||||
### Group access
|
||||
|
||||
Two independent controls:
|
||||
|
||||
**1. Which groups are allowed** (group allowlist via `channels.telegram.groups`):
|
||||
|
||||
- No `groups` config = all groups allowed
|
||||
- With `groups` config = only listed groups or `"*"` are allowed
|
||||
- Example: `"groups": { "-1001234567890": {}, "*": {} }` allows all groups
|
||||
|
||||
**2. Which senders are allowed** (sender filtering via `channels.telegram.groupPolicy`):
|
||||
|
||||
- `"open"` = all senders in allowed groups can message
|
||||
- `"allowlist"` = only senders in `channels.telegram.groupAllowFrom` can message
|
||||
- `"disabled"` = no group messages accepted at all
|
||||
Default is `groupPolicy: "allowlist"` (blocked unless you add `groupAllowFrom`).
|
||||
|
||||
Most users want: `groupPolicy: "allowlist"` + `groupAllowFrom` + specific groups listed in `channels.telegram.groups`
|
||||
|
||||
## Long-polling vs webhook
|
||||
|
||||
- Default: long-polling (no public URL required).
|
||||
- Webhook mode: set `channels.telegram.webhookUrl` and `channels.telegram.webhookSecret` (optionally `channels.telegram.webhookPath`).
|
||||
- The local listener binds to `0.0.0.0:8787` and serves `POST /telegram-webhook` by default.
|
||||
- If your public URL is different, use a reverse proxy and point `channels.telegram.webhookUrl` at the public endpoint.
|
||||
|
||||
## Reply threading
|
||||
|
||||
Telegram supports optional threaded replies via tags:
|
||||
|
||||
- `[[reply_to_current]]` -- reply to the triggering message.
|
||||
- `[[reply_to:<id>]]` -- reply to a specific message id.
|
||||
|
||||
Controlled by `channels.telegram.replyToMode`:
|
||||
|
||||
- `first` (default), `all`, `off`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Audio messages (voice vs file)
|
||||
|
||||
Telegram distinguishes **voice notes** (round bubble) from **audio files** (metadata card).
|
||||
OpenClaw defaults to audio files for backward compatibility.
|
||||
|
||||
To force a voice note bubble in agent replies, include this tag anywhere in the reply:
|
||||
|
||||
- `[[audio_as_voice]]` — send audio as a voice note instead of a file.
|
||||
|
||||
The tag is stripped from the delivered text. Other channels ignore this tag.
|
||||
|
||||
For message tool sends, set `asVoice: true` with a voice-compatible audio `media` URL
|
||||
(`message` is optional when media is present):
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
action: "send",
|
||||
channel: "telegram",
|
||||
to: "123456789",
|
||||
media: "https://example.com/voice.ogg",
|
||||
asVoice: true,
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Stickers
|
||||
|
||||
OpenClaw supports receiving and sending Telegram stickers with intelligent caching.
|
||||
|
||||
### Receiving stickers
|
||||
|
||||
When a user sends a sticker, OpenClaw handles it based on the sticker type:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Static stickers (WEBP):** Downloaded and processed through vision. The sticker appears as a `<media:sticker>` placeholder in the message content.
|
||||
- **Animated stickers (TGS):** Skipped (Lottie format not supported for processing).
|
||||
- **Video stickers (WEBM):** Skipped (video format not supported for processing).
|
||||
|
||||
Template context field available when receiving stickers:
|
||||
|
||||
- `Sticker` — object with:
|
||||
- `emoji` — emoji associated with the sticker
|
||||
- `setName` — name of the sticker set
|
||||
- `fileId` — Telegram file ID (send the same sticker back)
|
||||
- `fileUniqueId` — stable ID for cache lookup
|
||||
- `cachedDescription` — cached vision description when available
|
||||
|
||||
### Sticker cache
|
||||
|
||||
Stickers are processed through the AI's vision capabilities to generate descriptions. Since the same stickers are often sent repeatedly, OpenClaw caches these descriptions to avoid redundant API calls.
|
||||
|
||||
**How it works:**
|
||||
|
||||
1. **First encounter:** The sticker image is sent to the AI for vision analysis. The AI generates a description (e.g., "A cartoon cat waving enthusiastically").
|
||||
2. **Cache storage:** The description is saved along with the sticker's file ID, emoji, and set name.
|
||||
3. **Subsequent encounters:** When the same sticker is seen again, the cached description is used directly. The image is not sent to the AI.
|
||||
|
||||
**Cache location:** `~/.openclaw/telegram/sticker-cache.json`
|
||||
|
||||
**Cache entry format:**
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"fileId": "CAACAgIAAxkBAAI...",
|
||||
"fileUniqueId": "AgADBAADb6cxG2Y",
|
||||
"emoji": "👋",
|
||||
"setName": "CoolCats",
|
||||
"description": "A cartoon cat waving enthusiastically",
|
||||
"cachedAt": "2026-01-15T10:30:00.000Z"
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Benefits:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Reduces API costs by avoiding repeated vision calls for the same sticker
|
||||
- Faster response times for cached stickers (no vision processing delay)
|
||||
- Enables sticker search functionality based on cached descriptions
|
||||
|
||||
The cache is populated automatically as stickers are received. There is no manual cache management required.
|
||||
|
||||
### Sending stickers
|
||||
|
||||
The agent can send and search stickers using the `sticker` and `sticker-search` actions. These are disabled by default and must be enabled in config:
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
channels: {
|
||||
telegram: {
|
||||
actions: {
|
||||
sticker: true,
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Send a sticker:**
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
action: "sticker",
|
||||
channel: "telegram",
|
||||
to: "123456789",
|
||||
fileId: "CAACAgIAAxkBAAI...",
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Parameters:
|
||||
|
||||
- `fileId` (required) — the Telegram file ID of the sticker. Obtain this from `Sticker.fileId` when receiving a sticker, or from a `sticker-search` result.
|
||||
- `replyTo` (optional) — message ID to reply to.
|
||||
- `threadId` (optional) — message thread ID for forum topics.
|
||||
|
||||
**Search for stickers:**
|
||||
|
||||
The agent can search cached stickers by description, emoji, or set name:
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
action: "sticker-search",
|
||||
channel: "telegram",
|
||||
query: "cat waving",
|
||||
limit: 5,
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Returns matching stickers from the cache:
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
ok: true,
|
||||
count: 2,
|
||||
stickers: [
|
||||
{
|
||||
fileId: "CAACAgIAAxkBAAI...",
|
||||
emoji: "👋",
|
||||
description: "A cartoon cat waving enthusiastically",
|
||||
setName: "CoolCats",
|
||||
},
|
||||
],
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The search uses fuzzy matching across description text, emoji characters, and set names.
|
||||
|
||||
**Example with threading:**
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
action: "sticker",
|
||||
channel: "telegram",
|
||||
to: "-1001234567890",
|
||||
fileId: "CAACAgIAAxkBAAI...",
|
||||
replyTo: 42,
|
||||
threadId: 123,
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Streaming (drafts)
|
||||
|
||||
Telegram can stream **draft bubbles** while the agent is generating a response.
|
||||
OpenClaw uses Bot API `sendMessageDraft` (not real messages) and then sends the
|
||||
final reply as a normal message.
|
||||
|
||||
Requirements (Telegram Bot API 9.3+):
|
||||
|
||||
- **Private chats with topics enabled** (forum topic mode for the bot).
|
||||
- Incoming messages must include `message_thread_id` (private topic thread).
|
||||
- Streaming is ignored for groups/supergroups/channels.
|
||||
|
||||
Config:
|
||||
|
||||
- `channels.telegram.streamMode: "off" | "partial" | "block"` (default: `partial`)
|
||||
- `partial`: update the draft bubble with the latest streaming text.
|
||||
- `block`: update the draft bubble in larger blocks (chunked).
|
||||
- `off`: disable draft streaming.
|
||||
- Optional (only for `streamMode: "block"`):
|
||||
- `channels.telegram.draftChunk: { minChars?, maxChars?, breakPreference? }`
|
||||
- defaults: `minChars: 200`, `maxChars: 800`, `breakPreference: "paragraph"` (clamped to `channels.telegram.textChunkLimit`).
|
||||
|
||||
Note: draft streaming is separate from **block streaming** (channel messages).
|
||||
Block streaming is off by default and requires `channels.telegram.blockStreaming: true`
|
||||
if you want early Telegram messages instead of draft updates.
|
||||
|
||||
Reasoning stream (Telegram only):
|
||||
|
||||
- `/reasoning stream` streams reasoning into the draft bubble while the reply is
|
||||
generating, then sends the final answer without reasoning.
|
||||
- If `channels.telegram.streamMode` is `off`, reasoning stream is disabled.
|
||||
More context: [Streaming + chunking](/concepts/streaming).
|
||||
|
||||
## Retry policy
|
||||
|
||||
Outbound Telegram API calls retry on transient network/429 errors with exponential backoff and jitter. Configure via `channels.telegram.retry`. See [Retry policy](/concepts/retry).
|
||||
|
||||
## Agent tool (messages + reactions)
|
||||
|
||||
- Tool: `telegram` with `sendMessage` action (`to`, `content`, optional `mediaUrl`, `replyToMessageId`, `messageThreadId`).
|
||||
- Tool: `telegram` with `react` action (`chatId`, `messageId`, `emoji`).
|
||||
- Tool: `telegram` with `deleteMessage` action (`chatId`, `messageId`).
|
||||
- Reaction removal semantics: see [/tools/reactions](/tools/reactions).
|
||||
- Tool gating: `channels.telegram.actions.reactions`, `channels.telegram.actions.sendMessage`, `channels.telegram.actions.deleteMessage` (default: enabled), and `channels.telegram.actions.sticker` (default: disabled).
|
||||
|
||||
## Reaction notifications
|
||||
|
||||
**How reactions work:**
|
||||
Telegram reactions arrive as **separate `message_reaction` events**, not as properties in message payloads. When a user adds a reaction, OpenClaw:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Receives the `message_reaction` update from Telegram API
|
||||
2. Converts it to a **system event** with format: `"Telegram reaction added: {emoji} by {user} on msg {id}"`
|
||||
3. Enqueues the system event using the **same session key** as regular messages
|
||||
4. When the next message arrives in that conversation, system events are drained and prepended to the agent's context
|
||||
|
||||
The agent sees reactions as **system notifications** in the conversation history, not as message metadata.
|
||||
|
||||
**Configuration:**
|
||||
|
||||
- `channels.telegram.reactionNotifications`: Controls which reactions trigger notifications
|
||||
- `"off"` — ignore all reactions
|
||||
- `"own"` — notify when users react to bot messages (best-effort; in-memory) (default)
|
||||
- `"all"` — notify for all reactions
|
||||
|
||||
- `channels.telegram.reactionLevel`: Controls agent's reaction capability
|
||||
- `"off"` — agent cannot react to messages
|
||||
- `"ack"` — bot sends acknowledgment reactions (👀 while processing) (default)
|
||||
- `"minimal"` — agent can react sparingly (guideline: 1 per 5-10 exchanges)
|
||||
- `"extensive"` — agent can react liberally when appropriate
|
||||
|
||||
**Forum groups:** Reactions in forum groups include `message_thread_id` and use session keys like `agent:main:telegram:group:{chatId}:topic:{threadId}`. This ensures reactions and messages in the same topic stay together.
|
||||
|
||||
**Example config:**
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
channels: {
|
||||
telegram: {
|
||||
reactionNotifications: "all", // See all reactions
|
||||
reactionLevel: "minimal", // Agent can react sparingly
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Requirements:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Telegram bots must explicitly request `message_reaction` in `allowed_updates` (configured automatically by OpenClaw)
|
||||
- For webhook mode, reactions are included in the webhook `allowed_updates`
|
||||
- For polling mode, reactions are included in the `getUpdates` `allowed_updates`
|
||||
|
||||
## Delivery targets (CLI/cron)
|
||||
|
||||
- Use a chat id (`123456789`) or a username (`@name`) as the target.
|
||||
- Example: `openclaw message send --channel telegram --target 123456789 --message "hi"`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
**Bot doesn’t respond to non-mention messages in a group:**
|
||||
|
||||
- If you set `channels.telegram.groups.*.requireMention=false`, Telegram’s Bot API **privacy mode** must be disabled.
|
||||
- BotFather: `/setprivacy` → **Disable** (then remove + re-add the bot to the group)
|
||||
- `openclaw channels status` shows a warning when config expects unmentioned group messages.
|
||||
- `openclaw channels status --probe` can additionally check membership for explicit numeric group IDs (it can’t audit wildcard `"*"` rules).
|
||||
- Quick test: `/activation always` (session-only; use config for persistence)
|
||||
|
||||
**Bot not seeing group messages at all:**
|
||||
|
||||
- If `channels.telegram.groups` is set, the group must be listed or use `"*"`
|
||||
- Check Privacy Settings in @BotFather → "Group Privacy" should be **OFF**
|
||||
- Verify bot is actually a member (not just an admin with no read access)
|
||||
- Check gateway logs: `openclaw logs --follow` (look for "skipping group message")
|
||||
|
||||
**Bot responds to mentions but not `/activation always`:**
|
||||
|
||||
- The `/activation` command updates session state but doesn't persist to config
|
||||
- For persistent behavior, add group to `channels.telegram.groups` with `requireMention: false`
|
||||
|
||||
**Commands like `/status` don't work:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Make sure your Telegram user ID is authorized (via pairing or `channels.telegram.allowFrom`)
|
||||
- Commands require authorization even in groups with `groupPolicy: "open"`
|
||||
|
||||
**Long-polling aborts immediately on Node 22+ (often with proxies/custom fetch):**
|
||||
|
||||
- Node 22+ is stricter about `AbortSignal` instances; foreign signals can abort `fetch` calls right away.
|
||||
- Upgrade to a OpenClaw build that normalizes abort signals, or run the gateway on Node 20 until you can upgrade.
|
||||
|
||||
**Bot starts, then silently stops responding (or logs `HttpError: Network request ... failed`):**
|
||||
|
||||
- Some hosts resolve `api.telegram.org` to IPv6 first. If your server does not have working IPv6 egress, grammY can get stuck on IPv6-only requests.
|
||||
- Fix by enabling IPv6 egress **or** forcing IPv4 resolution for `api.telegram.org` (for example, add an `/etc/hosts` entry using the IPv4 A record, or prefer IPv4 in your OS DNS stack), then restart the gateway.
|
||||
- Quick check: `dig +short api.telegram.org A` and `dig +short api.telegram.org AAAA` to confirm what DNS returns.

# Tlon (plugin)
|
||||
|
||||
Tlon is a decentralized messenger built on Urbit. OpenClaw connects to your Urbit ship and can
|
||||
respond to DMs and group chat messages. Group replies require an @ mention by default and can
|
||||
be further restricted via allowlists.
|
||||
|
||||
Status: supported via plugin. DMs, group mentions, thread replies, and text-only media fallback
|
||||
(URL appended to caption). Reactions, polls, and native media uploads are not supported.
|
||||
|
||||
## Plugin required
|
||||
|
||||
Tlon ships as a plugin and is not bundled with the core install.
|
||||
|
||||
Install via CLI (npm registry):
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw plugins install @openclaw/tlon
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Local checkout (when running from a git repo):
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw plugins install ./extensions/tlon
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Details: [Plugins](/plugin)
|
||||
|
||||
## Setup
|
||||
|
||||
1. Install the Tlon plugin.
|
||||
2. Gather your ship URL and login code.
|
||||
3. Configure `channels.tlon`.
|
||||
4. Restart the gateway.
|
||||
5. DM the bot or mention it in a group channel.
|
||||
|
||||
Minimal config (single account):
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
channels: {
|
||||
tlon: {
|
||||
enabled: true,
|
||||
ship: "~sampel-palnet",
|
||||
url: "https://your-ship-host",
|
||||
code: "lidlut-tabwed-pillex-ridrup",
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Group channels
|
||||
|
||||
Auto-discovery is enabled by default. You can also pin channels manually:
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
channels: {
|
||||
tlon: {
|
||||
groupChannels: ["chat/~host-ship/general", "chat/~host-ship/support"],
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Disable auto-discovery:
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
channels: {
|
||||
tlon: {
|
||||
autoDiscoverChannels: false,
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Access control
|
||||
|
||||
DM allowlist (empty = allow all):
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
channels: {
|
||||
tlon: {
|
||||
dmAllowlist: ["~zod", "~nec"],
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Group authorization (restricted by default):
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
channels: {
|
||||
tlon: {
|
||||
defaultAuthorizedShips: ["~zod"],
|
||||
authorization: {
|
||||
channelRules: {
|
||||
"chat/~host-ship/general": {
|
||||
mode: "restricted",
|
||||
allowedShips: ["~zod", "~nec"],
|
||||
},
|
||||
"chat/~host-ship/announcements": {
|
||||
mode: "open",
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Delivery targets (CLI/cron)
|
||||
|
||||
Use these with `openclaw message send` or cron delivery:
|
||||
|
||||
- DM: `~sampel-palnet` or `dm/~sampel-palnet`
|
||||
- Group: `chat/~host-ship/channel` or `group:~host-ship/channel`
|
||||
|
||||
## Notes
|
||||
|
||||
- Group replies require a mention (e.g. `~your-bot-ship`) to respond.
|
||||
- Thread replies: if the inbound message is in a thread, OpenClaw replies in-thread.
|
||||
- Media: `sendMedia` falls back to text + URL (no native upload).

openclaw channels status --probe
|

```
|

## Telegram quick fixes
|
||||
|
||||
- Logs show `HttpError: Network request for 'sendMessage' failed` or `sendChatAction` → check IPv6 DNS. If `api.telegram.org` resolves to IPv6 first and the host lacks IPv6 egress, force IPv4 or enable IPv6. See [/channels/telegram#troubleshooting](/channels/telegram#troubleshooting).
|
||||
- Logs show `setMyCommands failed` → check outbound HTTPS and DNS reachability to `api.telegram.org` (common on locked-down VPS or proxies).

# Twitch (plugin)
|
||||
|
||||
Twitch chat support via IRC connection. OpenClaw connects as a Twitch user (bot account) to receive and send messages in channels.
|
||||
|
||||
## Plugin required
|
||||
|
||||
Twitch ships as a plugin and is not bundled with the core install.
|
||||
|
||||
Install via CLI (npm registry):
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw plugins install @openclaw/twitch
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Local checkout (when running from a git repo):
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw plugins install ./extensions/twitch
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Details: [Plugins](/plugin)
|
||||
|
||||
## Quick setup (beginner)
|
||||
|
||||
1. Create a dedicated Twitch account for the bot (or use an existing account).
|
||||
2. Generate credentials: [Twitch Token Generator](https://twitchtokengenerator.com/)
|
||||
- Select **Bot Token**
|
||||
- Verify scopes `chat:read` and `chat:write` are selected
|
||||
- Copy the **Client ID** and **Access Token**
|
||||
3. Find your Twitch user ID: https://www.streamweasels.com/tools/convert-twitch-username-to-user-id/
|
||||
4. Configure the token:
|
||||
- Env: `OPENCLAW_TWITCH_ACCESS_TOKEN=...` (default account only)
|
||||
- Or config: `channels.twitch.accessToken`
|
||||
- If both are set, config takes precedence (env fallback is default-account only).
|
||||
5. Start the gateway.
|
||||
|
||||
**⚠️ Important:** Add access control (`allowFrom` or `allowedRoles`) to prevent unauthorized users from triggering the bot. `requireMention` defaults to `true`.
|
||||
|
||||
Minimal config:
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
channels: {
|
||||
twitch: {
|
||||
enabled: true,
|
||||
username: "openclaw", // Bot's Twitch account
|
||||
accessToken: "oauth:abc123...", // OAuth Access Token (or use OPENCLAW_TWITCH_ACCESS_TOKEN env var)
|
||||
clientId: "xyz789...", // Client ID from Token Generator
|
||||
channel: "vevisk", // Which Twitch channel's chat to join (required)
|
||||
allowFrom: ["123456789"], // (recommended) Your Twitch user ID only - get it from https://www.streamweasels.com/tools/convert-twitch-username-to-user-id/
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## What it is
|
||||
|
||||
- A Twitch channel owned by the Gateway.
|
||||
- Deterministic routing: replies always go back to Twitch.
|
||||
- Each account maps to an isolated session key `agent:<agentId>:twitch:<accountName>`.
|
||||
- `username` is the bot's account (who authenticates), `channel` is which chat room to join.
|
||||
|
||||
## Setup (detailed)
|
||||
|
||||
### Generate credentials
|
||||
|
||||
Use [Twitch Token Generator](https://twitchtokengenerator.com/):
|
||||
|
||||
- Select **Bot Token**
|
||||
- Verify scopes `chat:read` and `chat:write` are selected
|
||||
- Copy the **Client ID** and **Access Token**
|
||||
|
||||
No manual app registration needed. Tokens expire after several hours.
|
||||
|
||||
### Configure the bot
|
||||
|
||||
**Env var (default account only):**
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
OPENCLAW_TWITCH_ACCESS_TOKEN=oauth:abc123...
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Or config:**
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
channels: {
|
||||
twitch: {
|
||||
enabled: true,
|
||||
username: "openclaw",
|
||||
accessToken: "oauth:abc123...",
|
||||
clientId: "xyz789...",
|
||||
channel: "vevisk",
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If both env and config are set, config takes precedence.
|
||||
|
||||
### Access control (recommended)
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
channels: {
|
||||
twitch: {
|
||||
allowFrom: ["123456789"], // (recommended) Your Twitch user ID only
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Prefer `allowFrom` for a hard allowlist. Use `allowedRoles` instead if you want role-based access.
|
||||
|
||||
**Available roles:** `"moderator"`, `"owner"`, `"vip"`, `"subscriber"`, `"all"`.
|
||||
|
||||
**Why user IDs?** Usernames can change, allowing impersonation. User IDs are permanent.
|
||||
|
||||
Find your Twitch user ID: https://www.streamweasels.com/tools/convert-twitch-username-%20to-user-id/ (Convert your Twitch username to ID)
|
||||
|
||||
## Token refresh (optional)
|
||||
|
||||
Tokens from [Twitch Token Generator](https://twitchtokengenerator.com/) cannot be automatically refreshed - regenerate when expired.
|
||||
|
||||
For automatic token refresh, create your own Twitch application at [Twitch Developer Console](https://dev.twitch.tv/console) and add to config:
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
channels: {
|
||||
twitch: {
|
||||
clientSecret: "your_client_secret",
|
||||
refreshToken: "your_refresh_token",
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The bot automatically refreshes tokens before expiration and logs refresh events.
|
||||
|
||||
## Multi-account support
|
||||
|
||||
Use `channels.twitch.accounts` with per-account tokens. See [`gateway/configuration`](/gateway/configuration) for the shared pattern.
|
||||
|
||||
Example (one bot account in two channels):
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
channels: {
|
||||
twitch: {
|
||||
accounts: {
|
||||
channel1: {
|
||||
username: "openclaw",
|
||||
accessToken: "oauth:abc123...",
|
||||
clientId: "xyz789...",
|
||||
channel: "vevisk",
|
||||
},
|
||||
channel2: {
|
||||
username: "openclaw",
|
||||
accessToken: "oauth:def456...",
|
||||
clientId: "uvw012...",
|
||||
channel: "secondchannel",
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Note:** Each account needs its own token (one token per channel).
|
||||
|
||||
## Access control
|
||||
|
||||
### Role-based restrictions
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
channels: {
|
||||
twitch: {
|
||||
accounts: {
|
||||
default: {
|
||||
allowedRoles: ["moderator", "vip"],
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Allowlist by User ID (most secure)
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
channels: {
|
||||
twitch: {
|
||||
accounts: {
|
||||
default: {
|
||||
allowFrom: ["123456789", "987654321"],
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Role-based access (alternative)
|
||||
|
||||
`allowFrom` is a hard allowlist. When set, only those user IDs are allowed.
|
||||
If you want role-based access, leave `allowFrom` unset and configure `allowedRoles` instead:
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
channels: {
|
||||
twitch: {
|
||||
accounts: {
|
||||
default: {
|
||||
allowedRoles: ["moderator"],
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Disable @mention requirement
|
||||
|
||||
By default, `requireMention` is `true`. To disable and respond to all messages:
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
channels: {
|
||||
twitch: {
|
||||
accounts: {
|
||||
default: {
|
||||
requireMention: false,
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
First, run diagnostic commands:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw doctor
|
||||
openclaw channels status --probe
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Bot doesn't respond to messages
|
||||
|
||||
**Check access control:** Ensure your user ID is in `allowFrom`, or temporarily remove
|
||||
`allowFrom` and set `allowedRoles: ["all"]` to test.
|
||||
|
||||
**Check the bot is in the channel:** The bot must join the channel specified in `channel`.
|
||||
|
||||
### Token issues
|
||||
|
||||
**"Failed to connect" or authentication errors:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Verify `accessToken` is the OAuth access token value (typically starts with `oauth:` prefix)
|
||||
- Check token has `chat:read` and `chat:write` scopes
|
||||
- If using token refresh, verify `clientSecret` and `refreshToken` are set
|
||||
|
||||
### Token refresh not working
|
||||
|
||||
**Check logs for refresh events:**
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Using env token source for mybot
|
||||
Access token refreshed for user 123456 (expires in 14400s)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If you see "token refresh disabled (no refresh token)":
|
||||
|
||||
- Ensure `clientSecret` is provided
|
||||
- Ensure `refreshToken` is provided
|
||||
|
||||
## Config
|
||||
|
||||
**Account config:**
|
||||
|
||||
- `username` - Bot username
|
||||
- `accessToken` - OAuth access token with `chat:read` and `chat:write`
|
||||
- `clientId` - Twitch Client ID (from Token Generator or your app)
|
||||
- `channel` - Channel to join (required)
|
||||
- `enabled` - Enable this account (default: `true`)
|
||||
- `clientSecret` - Optional: For automatic token refresh
|
||||
- `refreshToken` - Optional: For automatic token refresh
|
||||
- `expiresIn` - Token expiry in seconds
|
||||
- `obtainmentTimestamp` - Token obtained timestamp
|
||||
- `allowFrom` - User ID allowlist
|
||||
- `allowedRoles` - Role-based access control (`"moderator" | "owner" | "vip" | "subscriber" | "all"`)
|
||||
- `requireMention` - Require @mention (default: `true`)
|
||||
|
||||
**Provider options:**
|
||||
|
||||
- `channels.twitch.enabled` - Enable/disable channel startup
|
||||
- `channels.twitch.username` - Bot username (simplified single-account config)
|
||||
- `channels.twitch.accessToken` - OAuth access token (simplified single-account config)
|
||||
- `channels.twitch.clientId` - Twitch Client ID (simplified single-account config)
|
||||
- `channels.twitch.channel` - Channel to join (simplified single-account config)
|
||||
- `channels.twitch.accounts.<accountName>` - Multi-account config (all account fields above)
|
||||
|
||||
Full example:
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
channels: {
|
||||
twitch: {
|
||||
enabled: true,
|
||||
username: "openclaw",
|
||||
accessToken: "oauth:abc123...",
|
||||
clientId: "xyz789...",
|
||||
channel: "vevisk",
|
||||
clientSecret: "secret123...",
|
||||
refreshToken: "refresh456...",
|
||||
allowFrom: ["123456789"],
|
||||
allowedRoles: ["moderator", "vip"],
|
||||
accounts: {
|
||||
default: {
|
||||
username: "mybot",
|
||||
accessToken: "oauth:abc123...",
|
||||
clientId: "xyz789...",
|
||||
channel: "your_channel",
|
||||
enabled: true,
|
||||
clientSecret: "secret123...",
|
||||
refreshToken: "refresh456...",
|
||||
expiresIn: 14400,
|
||||
obtainmentTimestamp: 1706092800000,
|
||||
allowFrom: ["123456789", "987654321"],
|
||||
allowedRoles: ["moderator"],
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Tool actions
|
||||
|
||||
The agent can call `twitch` with action:
|
||||
|
||||
- `send` - Send a message to a channel
|
||||
|
||||
Example:
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
action: "twitch",
|
||||
params: {
|
||||
message: "Hello Twitch!",
|
||||
to: "#mychannel",
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Safety & ops
|
||||
|
||||
- **Treat tokens like passwords** - Never commit tokens to git
|
||||
- **Use automatic token refresh** for long-running bots
|
||||
- **Use user ID allowlists** instead of usernames for access control
|
||||
- **Monitor logs** for token refresh events and connection status
|
||||
- **Scope tokens minimally** - Only request `chat:read` and `chat:write`
|
||||
- **If stuck**: Restart the gateway after confirming no other process owns the session
|
||||
|
||||
## Limits
|
||||
|
||||
- **500 characters** per message (auto-chunked at word boundaries)
|
||||
- Markdown is stripped before chunking
|
||||
- No rate limiting (uses Twitch's built-in rate limits)

# WhatsApp (web channel)
|
||||
|
||||
Status: WhatsApp Web via Baileys only. Gateway owns the session(s).
|
||||
|
||||
## Quick setup (beginner)
|
||||
|
||||
1. Use a **separate phone number** if possible (recommended).
|
||||
2. Configure WhatsApp in `~/.openclaw/openclaw.json`.
|
||||
3. Run `openclaw channels login` to scan the QR code (Linked Devices).
|
||||
4. Start the gateway.
|
||||
|
||||
Minimal config:
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
channels: {
|
||||
whatsapp: {
|
||||
dmPolicy: "allowlist",
|
||||
allowFrom: ["+15551234567"],
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Goals
|
||||
|
||||
- Multiple WhatsApp accounts (multi-account) in one Gateway process.
|
||||
- Deterministic routing: replies return to WhatsApp, no model routing.
|
||||
- Model sees enough context to understand quoted replies.
|
||||
|
||||
## Config writes
|
||||
|
||||
By default, WhatsApp is allowed to write config updates triggered by `/config set|unset` (requires `commands.config: true`).
|
||||
|
||||
Disable with:
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
channels: { whatsapp: { configWrites: false } },
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Architecture (who owns what)
|
||||
|
||||
- **Gateway** owns the Baileys socket and inbox loop.
|
||||
- **CLI / macOS app** talk to the gateway; no direct Baileys use.
|
||||
- **Active listener** is required for outbound sends; otherwise send fails fast.
|
||||
|
||||
## Getting a phone number (two modes)
|
||||
|
||||
WhatsApp requires a real mobile number for verification. VoIP and virtual numbers are usually blocked. There are two supported ways to run OpenClaw on WhatsApp:
|
||||
|
||||
### Dedicated number (recommended)
|
||||
|
||||
Use a **separate phone number** for OpenClaw. Best UX, clean routing, no self-chat quirks. Ideal setup: **spare/old Android phone + eSIM**. Leave it on Wi‑Fi and power, and link it via QR.
|
||||
|
||||
**WhatsApp Business:** You can use WhatsApp Business on the same device with a different number. Great for keeping your personal WhatsApp separate — install WhatsApp Business and register the OpenClaw number there.
|
||||
|
||||
**Sample config (dedicated number, single-user allowlist):**
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
channels: {
|
||||
whatsapp: {
|
||||
dmPolicy: "allowlist",
|
||||
allowFrom: ["+15551234567"],
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Pairing mode (optional):**
|
||||
If you want pairing instead of allowlist, set `channels.whatsapp.dmPolicy` to `pairing`. Unknown senders get a pairing code; approve with:
|
||||
`openclaw pairing approve whatsapp <code>`
|
||||
|
||||
### Personal number (fallback)
|
||||
|
||||
Quick fallback: run OpenClaw on **your own number**. Message yourself (WhatsApp “Message yourself”) for testing so you don’t spam contacts. Expect to read verification codes on your main phone during setup and experiments. **Must enable self-chat mode.**
|
||||
When the wizard asks for your personal WhatsApp number, enter the phone you will message from (the owner/sender), not the assistant number.
|
||||
|
||||
**Sample config (personal number, self-chat):**
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"whatsapp": {
|
||||
"selfChatMode": true,
|
||||
"dmPolicy": "allowlist",
|
||||
"allowFrom": ["+15551234567"]
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Self-chat replies default to `[{identity.name}]` when set (otherwise `[openclaw]`)
|
||||
if `messages.responsePrefix` is unset. Set it explicitly to customize or disable
|
||||
the prefix (use `""` to remove it).
|
||||
|
||||
### Number sourcing tips
|
||||
|
||||
- **Local eSIM** from your country's mobile carrier (most reliable)
|
||||
- Austria: [hot.at](https://www.hot.at)
|
||||
- UK: [giffgaff](https://www.giffgaff.com) — free SIM, no contract
|
||||
- **Prepaid SIM** — cheap, just needs to receive one SMS for verification
|
||||
|
||||
**Avoid:** TextNow, Google Voice, most "free SMS" services — WhatsApp blocks these aggressively.
|
||||
|
||||
**Tip:** The number only needs to receive one verification SMS. After that, WhatsApp Web sessions persist via `creds.json`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Why Not Twilio?
|
||||
|
||||
- Early OpenClaw builds supported Twilio’s WhatsApp Business integration.
|
||||
- WhatsApp Business numbers are a poor fit for a personal assistant.
|
||||
- Meta enforces a 24‑hour reply window; if you haven’t responded in the last 24 hours, the business number can’t initiate new messages.
|
||||
- High-volume or “chatty” usage triggers aggressive blocking, because business accounts aren’t meant to send dozens of personal assistant messages.
|
||||
- Result: unreliable delivery and frequent blocks, so support was removed.
|
||||
|
||||
## Login + credentials
|
||||
|
||||
- Login command: `openclaw channels login` (QR via Linked Devices).
|
||||
- Multi-account login: `openclaw channels login --account <id>` (`<id>` = `accountId`).
|
||||
- Default account (when `--account` is omitted): `default` if present, otherwise the first configured account id (sorted).
|
||||
- Credentials stored in `~/.openclaw/credentials/whatsapp/<accountId>/creds.json`.
|
||||
- Backup copy at `creds.json.bak` (restored on corruption).
|
||||
- Legacy compatibility: older installs stored Baileys files directly in `~/.openclaw/credentials/`.
|
||||
- Logout: `openclaw channels logout` (or `--account <id>`) deletes WhatsApp auth state (but keeps shared `oauth.json`).
|
||||
- Logged-out socket => error instructs re-link.
|
||||
|
||||
## Inbound flow (DM + group)
|
||||
|
||||
- WhatsApp events come from `messages.upsert` (Baileys).
|
||||
- Inbox listeners are detached on shutdown to avoid accumulating event handlers in tests/restarts.
|
||||
- Status/broadcast chats are ignored.
|
||||
- Direct chats use E.164; groups use group JID.
|
||||
- **DM policy**: `channels.whatsapp.dmPolicy` controls direct chat access (default: `pairing`).
|
||||
- Pairing: unknown senders get a pairing code (approve via `openclaw pairing approve whatsapp <code>`; codes expire after 1 hour).
|
||||
- Open: requires `channels.whatsapp.allowFrom` to include `"*"`.
|
||||
- Your linked WhatsApp number is implicitly trusted, so self messages skip `channels.whatsapp.dmPolicy` and `channels.whatsapp.allowFrom` checks.
|
||||
|
||||
### Personal-number mode (fallback)
|
||||
|
||||
If you run OpenClaw on your **personal WhatsApp number**, enable `channels.whatsapp.selfChatMode` (see sample above).
|
||||
|
||||
Behavior:
|
||||
|
||||
- Outbound DMs never trigger pairing replies (prevents spamming contacts).
|
||||
- Inbound unknown senders still follow `channels.whatsapp.dmPolicy`.
|
||||
- Self-chat mode (allowFrom includes your number) avoids auto read receipts and ignores mention JIDs.
|
||||
- Read receipts sent for non-self-chat DMs.
|
||||
|
||||
## Read receipts
|
||||
|
||||
By default, the gateway marks inbound WhatsApp messages as read (blue ticks) once they are accepted.
|
||||
|
||||
Disable globally:
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
channels: { whatsapp: { sendReadReceipts: false } },
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Disable per account:
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
channels: {
|
||||
whatsapp: {
|
||||
accounts: {
|
||||
personal: { sendReadReceipts: false },
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Notes:
|
||||
|
||||
- Self-chat mode always skips read receipts.
|
||||
|
||||
## WhatsApp FAQ: sending messages + pairing
|
||||
|
||||
**Will OpenClaw message random contacts when I link WhatsApp?**
|
||||
No. Default DM policy is **pairing**, so unknown senders only get a pairing code and their message is **not processed**. OpenClaw only replies to chats it receives, or to sends you explicitly trigger (agent/CLI).
|
||||
|
||||
**How does pairing work on WhatsApp?**
|
||||
Pairing is a DM gate for unknown senders:
|
||||
|
||||
- First DM from a new sender returns a short code (message is not processed).
|
||||
- Approve with: `openclaw pairing approve whatsapp <code>` (list with `openclaw pairing list whatsapp`).
|
||||
- Codes expire after 1 hour; pending requests are capped at 3 per channel.
|
||||
|
||||
**Can multiple people use different OpenClaw instances on one WhatsApp number?**
|
||||
Yes, by routing each sender to a different agent via `bindings` (peer `kind: "dm"`, sender E.164 like `+15551234567`). Replies still come from the **same WhatsApp account**, and direct chats collapse to each agent’s main session, so use **one agent per person**. DM access control (`dmPolicy`/`allowFrom`) is global per WhatsApp account. See [Multi-Agent Routing](/concepts/multi-agent).
|
||||
|
||||
**Why do you ask for my phone number in the wizard?**
|
||||
The wizard uses it to set your **allowlist/owner** so your own DMs are permitted. It’s not used for auto-sending. If you run on your personal WhatsApp number, use that same number and enable `channels.whatsapp.selfChatMode`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Message normalization (what the model sees)
|
||||
|
||||
- `Body` is the current message body with envelope.
|
||||
- Quoted reply context is **always appended**:
|
||||
```
|
||||
[Replying to +1555 id:ABC123]
|
||||
<quoted text or <media:...>>
|
||||
[/Replying]
|
||||
```
|
||||
- Reply metadata also set:
|
||||
- `ReplyToId` = stanzaId
|
||||
- `ReplyToBody` = quoted body or media placeholder
|
||||
- `ReplyToSender` = E.164 when known
|
||||
- Media-only inbound messages use placeholders:
|
||||
- `<media:image|video|audio|document|sticker>`
|
||||
|
||||
## Groups
|
||||
|
||||
- Groups map to `agent:<agentId>:whatsapp:group:<jid>` sessions.
|
||||
- Group policy: `channels.whatsapp.groupPolicy = open|disabled|allowlist` (default `allowlist`).
|
||||
- Activation modes:
|
||||
- `mention` (default): requires @mention or regex match.
|
||||
- `always`: always triggers.
|
||||
- `/activation mention|always` is owner-only and must be sent as a standalone message.
|
||||
- Owner = `channels.whatsapp.allowFrom` (or self E.164 if unset).
|
||||
- **History injection** (pending-only):
|
||||
- Recent _unprocessed_ messages (default 50) inserted under:
|
||||
`[Chat messages since your last reply - for context]` (messages already in the session are not re-injected)
|
||||
- Current message under:
|
||||
`[Current message - respond to this]`
|
||||
- Sender suffix appended: `[from: Name (+E164)]`
|
||||
- Group metadata cached 5 min (subject + participants).
|
||||
|
||||
## Reply delivery (threading)
|
||||
|
||||
- WhatsApp Web sends standard messages (no quoted reply threading in the current gateway).
|
||||
- Reply tags are ignored on this channel.
|
||||
|
||||
## Acknowledgment reactions (auto-react on receipt)
|
||||
|
||||
WhatsApp can automatically send emoji reactions to incoming messages immediately upon receipt, before the bot generates a reply. This provides instant feedback to users that their message was received.
|
||||
|
||||
**Configuration:**
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"whatsapp": {
|
||||
"ackReaction": {
|
||||
"emoji": "👀",
|
||||
"direct": true,
|
||||
"group": "mentions"
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Options:**
|
||||
|
||||
- `emoji` (string): Emoji to use for acknowledgment (e.g., "👀", "✅", "📨"). Empty or omitted = feature disabled.
|
||||
- `direct` (boolean, default: `true`): Send reactions in direct/DM chats.
|
||||
- `group` (string, default: `"mentions"`): Group chat behavior:
|
||||
- `"always"`: React to all group messages (even without @mention)
|
||||
- `"mentions"`: React only when bot is @mentioned
|
||||
- `"never"`: Never react in groups
|
||||
|
||||
**Per-account override:**
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"whatsapp": {
|
||||
"accounts": {
|
||||
"work": {
|
||||
"ackReaction": {
|
||||
"emoji": "✅",
|
||||
"direct": false,
|
||||
"group": "always"
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Behavior notes:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Reactions are sent **immediately** upon message receipt, before typing indicators or bot replies.
|
||||
- In groups with `requireMention: false` (activation: always), `group: "mentions"` will react to all messages (not just @mentions).
|
||||
- Fire-and-forget: reaction failures are logged but don't prevent the bot from replying.
|
||||
- Participant JID is automatically included for group reactions.
|
||||
- WhatsApp ignores `messages.ackReaction`; use `channels.whatsapp.ackReaction` instead.
|
||||
|
||||
## Agent tool (reactions)
|
||||
|
||||
- Tool: `whatsapp` with `react` action (`chatJid`, `messageId`, `emoji`, optional `remove`).
|
||||
- Optional: `participant` (group sender), `fromMe` (reacting to your own message), `accountId` (multi-account).
|
||||
- Reaction removal semantics: see [/tools/reactions](/tools/reactions).
|
||||
- Tool gating: `channels.whatsapp.actions.reactions` (default: enabled).
|
||||
|
||||
## Limits
|
||||
|
||||
- Outbound text is chunked to `channels.whatsapp.textChunkLimit` (default 4000).
|
||||
- Optional newline chunking: set `channels.whatsapp.chunkMode="newline"` to split on blank lines (paragraph boundaries) before length chunking.
|
||||
- Inbound media saves are capped by `channels.whatsapp.mediaMaxMb` (default 50 MB).
|
||||
- Outbound media items are capped by `agents.defaults.mediaMaxMb` (default 5 MB).
|
||||
|
||||
## Outbound send (text + media)
|
||||
|
||||
- Uses active web listener; error if gateway not running.
|
||||
- Text chunking: 4k max per message (configurable via `channels.whatsapp.textChunkLimit`, optional `channels.whatsapp.chunkMode`).
|
||||
- Media:
|
||||
- Image/video/audio/document supported.
|
||||
- Audio sent as PTT; `audio/ogg` => `audio/ogg; codecs=opus`.
|
||||
- Caption only on first media item.
|
||||
- Media fetch supports HTTP(S) and local paths.
|
||||
- Animated GIFs: WhatsApp expects MP4 with `gifPlayback: true` for inline looping.
|
||||
- CLI: `openclaw message send --media <mp4> --gif-playback`
|
||||
- Gateway: `send` params include `gifPlayback: true`
|
||||
|
||||
## Voice notes (PTT audio)
|
||||
|
||||
WhatsApp sends audio as **voice notes** (PTT bubble).
|
||||
|
||||
- Best results: OGG/Opus. OpenClaw rewrites `audio/ogg` to `audio/ogg; codecs=opus`.
|
||||
- `[[audio_as_voice]]` is ignored for WhatsApp (audio already ships as voice note).
|
||||
|
||||
## Media limits + optimization
|
||||
|
||||
- Default outbound cap: 5 MB (per media item).
|
||||
- Override: `agents.defaults.mediaMaxMb`.
|
||||
- Images are auto-optimized to JPEG under cap (resize + quality sweep).
|
||||
- Oversize media => error; media reply falls back to text warning.
|
||||
|
||||
## Heartbeats
|
||||
|
||||
- **Gateway heartbeat** logs connection health (`web.heartbeatSeconds`, default 60s).
|
||||
- **Agent heartbeat** can be configured per agent (`agents.list[].heartbeat`) or globally
|
||||
via `agents.defaults.heartbeat` (fallback when no per-agent entries are set).
|
||||
- Uses the configured heartbeat prompt (default: `Read HEARTBEAT.md if it exists (workspace context). Follow it strictly. Do not infer or repeat old tasks from prior chats. If nothing needs attention, reply HEARTBEAT_OK.`) + `HEARTBEAT_OK` skip behavior.
|
||||
- Delivery defaults to the last used channel (or configured target).
|
||||
|
||||
## Reconnect behavior
|
||||
|
||||
- Backoff policy: `web.reconnect`:
|
||||
- `initialMs`, `maxMs`, `factor`, `jitter`, `maxAttempts`.
|
||||
- If maxAttempts reached, web monitoring stops (degraded).
|
||||
- Logged-out => stop and require re-link.
|
||||
|
||||
## Config quick map
|
||||
|
||||
- `channels.whatsapp.dmPolicy` (DM policy: pairing/allowlist/open/disabled).
|
||||
- `channels.whatsapp.selfChatMode` (same-phone setup; bot uses your personal WhatsApp number).
|
||||
- `channels.whatsapp.allowFrom` (DM allowlist). WhatsApp uses E.164 phone numbers (no usernames).
|
||||
- `channels.whatsapp.mediaMaxMb` (inbound media save cap).
|
||||
- `channels.whatsapp.ackReaction` (auto-reaction on message receipt: `{emoji, direct, group}`).
|
||||
- `channels.whatsapp.accounts.<accountId>.*` (per-account settings + optional `authDir`).
|
||||
- `channels.whatsapp.accounts.<accountId>.mediaMaxMb` (per-account inbound media cap).
|
||||
- `channels.whatsapp.accounts.<accountId>.ackReaction` (per-account ack reaction override).
|
||||
- `channels.whatsapp.groupAllowFrom` (group sender allowlist).
|
||||
- `channels.whatsapp.groupPolicy` (group policy).
|
||||
- `channels.whatsapp.historyLimit` / `channels.whatsapp.accounts.<accountId>.historyLimit` (group history context; `0` disables).
|
||||
- `channels.whatsapp.dmHistoryLimit` (DM history limit in user turns). Per-user overrides: `channels.whatsapp.dms["<phone>"].historyLimit`.
|
||||
- `channels.whatsapp.groups` (group allowlist + mention gating defaults; use `"*"` to allow all)
|
||||
- `channels.whatsapp.actions.reactions` (gate WhatsApp tool reactions).
|
||||
- `agents.list[].groupChat.mentionPatterns` (or `messages.groupChat.mentionPatterns`)
|
||||
- `messages.groupChat.historyLimit`
|
||||
- `channels.whatsapp.messagePrefix` (inbound prefix; per-account: `channels.whatsapp.accounts.<accountId>.messagePrefix`; deprecated: `messages.messagePrefix`)
|
||||
- `messages.responsePrefix` (outbound prefix)
|
||||
- `agents.defaults.mediaMaxMb`
|
||||
- `agents.defaults.heartbeat.every`
|
||||
- `agents.defaults.heartbeat.model` (optional override)
|
||||
- `agents.defaults.heartbeat.target`
|
||||
- `agents.defaults.heartbeat.to`
|
||||
- `agents.defaults.heartbeat.session`
|
||||
- `agents.list[].heartbeat.*` (per-agent overrides)
|
||||
- `session.*` (scope, idle, store, mainKey)
|
||||
- `web.enabled` (disable channel startup when false)
|
||||
- `web.heartbeatSeconds`
|
||||
- `web.reconnect.*`
|
||||
|
||||
## Logs + troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
- Subsystems: `whatsapp/inbound`, `whatsapp/outbound`, `web-heartbeat`, `web-reconnect`.
|
||||
- Log file: `/tmp/openclaw/openclaw-YYYY-MM-DD.log` (configurable).
|
||||
- Troubleshooting guide: [Gateway troubleshooting](/gateway/troubleshooting).
|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting (quick)
|
||||
|
||||
**Not linked / QR login required**
|
||||
|
||||
- Symptom: `channels status` shows `linked: false` or warns “Not linked”.
|
||||
- Fix: run `openclaw channels login` on the gateway host and scan the QR (WhatsApp → Settings → Linked Devices).
|
||||
|
||||
**Linked but disconnected / reconnect loop**
|
||||
|
||||
- Symptom: `channels status` shows `running, disconnected` or warns “Linked but disconnected”.
|
||||
- Fix: `openclaw doctor` (or restart the gateway). If it persists, relink via `channels login` and inspect `openclaw logs --follow`.
|
||||
|
||||
**Bun runtime**
|
||||
|
||||
- Bun is **not recommended**. WhatsApp (Baileys) and Telegram are unreliable on Bun.
|
||||
Run the gateway with **Node**. (See Getting Started runtime note.)

# Zalo (Bot API)
|
||||
|
||||
Status: experimental. Direct messages only; groups coming soon per Zalo docs.
|
||||
|
||||
## Plugin required
|
||||
|
||||
Zalo ships as a plugin and is not bundled with the core install.
|
||||
|
||||
- Install via CLI: `openclaw plugins install @openclaw/zalo`
|
||||
- Or select **Zalo** during onboarding and confirm the install prompt
|
||||
- Details: [Plugins](/plugin)
|
||||
|
||||
## Quick setup (beginner)
|
||||
|
||||
1. Install the Zalo plugin:
|
||||
- From a source checkout: `openclaw plugins install ./extensions/zalo`
|
||||
- From npm (if published): `openclaw plugins install @openclaw/zalo`
|
||||
- Or pick **Zalo** in onboarding and confirm the install prompt
|
||||
2. Set the token:
|
||||
- Env: `ZALO_BOT_TOKEN=...`
|
||||
- Or config: `channels.zalo.botToken: "..."`.
|
||||
3. Restart the gateway (or finish onboarding).
|
||||
4. DM access is pairing by default; approve the pairing code on first contact.
|
||||
|
||||
Minimal config:
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
channels: {
|
||||
zalo: {
|
||||
enabled: true,
|
||||
botToken: "12345689:abc-xyz",
|
||||
dmPolicy: "pairing",
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## What it is
|
||||
|
||||
Zalo is a Vietnam-focused messaging app; its Bot API lets the Gateway run a bot for 1:1 conversations.
|
||||
It is a good fit for support or notifications where you want deterministic routing back to Zalo.
|
||||
|
||||
- A Zalo Bot API channel owned by the Gateway.
|
||||
- Deterministic routing: replies go back to Zalo; the model never chooses channels.
|
||||
- DMs share the agent's main session.
|
||||
- Groups are not yet supported (Zalo docs state "coming soon").
|
||||
|
||||
## Setup (fast path)
|
||||
|
||||
### 1) Create a bot token (Zalo Bot Platform)
|
||||
|
||||
1. Go to **https://bot.zaloplatforms.com** and sign in.
|
||||
2. Create a new bot and configure its settings.
|
||||
3. Copy the bot token (format: `12345689:abc-xyz`).
|
||||
|
||||
### 2) Configure the token (env or config)
|
||||
|
||||
Example:
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
channels: {
|
||||
zalo: {
|
||||
enabled: true,
|
||||
botToken: "12345689:abc-xyz",
|
||||
dmPolicy: "pairing",
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Env option: `ZALO_BOT_TOKEN=...` (works for the default account only).
|
||||
|
||||
Multi-account support: use `channels.zalo.accounts` with per-account tokens and optional `name`.
|
||||
|
||||
3. Restart the gateway. Zalo starts when a token is resolved (env or config).
|
||||
4. DM access defaults to pairing. Approve the code when the bot is first contacted.
|
||||
|
||||
## How it works (behavior)
|
||||
|
||||
- Inbound messages are normalized into the shared channel envelope with media placeholders.
|
||||
- Replies always route back to the same Zalo chat.
|
||||
- Long-polling by default; webhook mode available with `channels.zalo.webhookUrl`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Limits
|
||||
|
||||
- Outbound text is chunked to 2000 characters (Zalo API limit).
|
||||
- Media downloads/uploads are capped by `channels.zalo.mediaMaxMb` (default 5).
|
||||
- Streaming is blocked by default due to the 2000 char limit making streaming less useful.
|
||||
|
||||
## Access control (DMs)
|
||||
|
||||
### DM access
|
||||
|
||||
- Default: `channels.zalo.dmPolicy = "pairing"`. Unknown senders receive a pairing code; messages are ignored until approved (codes expire after 1 hour).
|
||||
- Approve via:
|
||||
- `openclaw pairing list zalo`
|
||||
- `openclaw pairing approve zalo <CODE>`
|
||||
- Pairing is the default token exchange. Details: [Pairing](/start/pairing)
|
||||
- `channels.zalo.allowFrom` accepts numeric user IDs (no username lookup available).
|
||||
|
||||
## Long-polling vs webhook
|
||||
|
||||
- Default: long-polling (no public URL required).
|
||||
- Webhook mode: set `channels.zalo.webhookUrl` and `channels.zalo.webhookSecret`.
|
||||
- The webhook secret must be 8-256 characters.
|
||||
- Webhook URL must use HTTPS.
|
||||
- Zalo sends events with `X-Bot-Api-Secret-Token` header for verification.
|
||||
- Gateway HTTP handles webhook requests at `channels.zalo.webhookPath` (defaults to the webhook URL path).
|
||||
|
||||
**Note:** getUpdates (polling) and webhook are mutually exclusive per Zalo API docs.
|
||||
|
||||
## Supported message types
|
||||
|
||||
- **Text messages**: Full support with 2000 character chunking.
|
||||
- **Image messages**: Download and process inbound images; send images via `sendPhoto`.
|
||||
- **Stickers**: Logged but not fully processed (no agent response).
|
||||
- **Unsupported types**: Logged (e.g., messages from protected users).
|
||||

## Delivery targets (CLI/cron)
|
||||
|
||||
- Use a chat id as the target.
|
||||
- Example: `openclaw message send --channel zalo --target 123456789 --message "hi"`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
**Bot doesn't respond:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Check that the token is valid: `openclaw channels status --probe`
|
||||
- Verify the sender is approved (pairing or allowFrom)
|
||||
- Check gateway logs: `openclaw logs --follow`
|
||||
|
||||
**Webhook not receiving events:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Ensure webhook URL uses HTTPS
|
||||
- Verify secret token is 8-256 characters
|
||||
- Confirm the gateway HTTP endpoint is reachable on the configured path
|
||||
- Check that getUpdates polling is not running (they're mutually exclusive)
|
||||
|
||||

# Zalo Personal (unofficial)
|
||||
|
||||
Status: experimental. This integration automates a **personal Zalo account** via `zca-cli`.
|
||||
|
||||
> **Warning:** This is an unofficial integration and may result in account suspension/ban. Use at your own risk.
|
||||
|
||||
## Plugin required
|
||||
|
||||
Zalo Personal ships as a plugin and is not bundled with the core install.
|
||||
|
||||
- Install via CLI: `openclaw plugins install @openclaw/zalouser`
|
||||
- Or from a source checkout: `openclaw plugins install ./extensions/zalouser`
|
||||
- Details: [Plugins](/plugin)
|
||||
|
||||
## Prerequisite: zca-cli
|
||||
|
||||
The Gateway machine must have the `zca` binary available in `PATH`.
|
||||
|
||||
- Verify: `zca --version`
|
||||
- If missing, install zca-cli (see `extensions/zalouser/README.md` or the upstream zca-cli docs).
|
||||
|
||||
## Quick setup (beginner)
|
||||
|
||||
1. Install the plugin (see above).
|
||||
2. Login (QR, on the Gateway machine):
|
||||
- `openclaw channels login --channel zalouser`
|
||||
- Scan the QR code in the terminal with the Zalo mobile app.
|
||||
3. Enable the channel:
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
channels: {
|
||||
zalouser: {
|
||||
enabled: true,
|
||||
dmPolicy: "pairing",
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
4. Restart the Gateway (or finish onboarding).
|
||||
5. DM access defaults to pairing; approve the pairing code on first contact.
|
||||
|
||||
## What it is
|
||||
|
||||
- Uses `zca listen` to receive inbound messages.
|
||||
- Uses `zca msg ...` to send replies (text/media/link).
|
||||
- Designed for “personal account” use cases where Zalo Bot API is not available.
|
||||
|
||||
## Naming
|
||||
|
||||
Channel id is `zalouser` to make it explicit this automates a **personal Zalo user account** (unofficial). We keep `zalo` reserved for a potential future official Zalo API integration.
|
||||
|
||||
## Finding IDs (directory)
|
||||
|
||||
Use the directory CLI to discover peers/groups and their IDs:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw directory self --channel zalouser
|
||||
openclaw directory peers list --channel zalouser --query "name"
|
||||
openclaw directory groups list --channel zalouser --query "work"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Limits
|
||||
|
||||
- Outbound text is chunked to ~2000 characters (Zalo client limits).
|
||||
- Streaming is blocked by default.
|
||||
|
||||
## Access control (DMs)
|
||||
|
||||
`channels.zalouser.dmPolicy` supports: `pairing | allowlist | open | disabled` (default: `pairing`).
|
||||
`channels.zalouser.allowFrom` accepts user IDs or names. The wizard resolves names to IDs via `zca friend find` when available.
|
||||
|
||||
Approve via:
|
||||
|
||||
- `openclaw pairing list zalouser`
|
||||
- `openclaw pairing approve zalouser <code>`
|
||||
|
||||
## Group access (optional)
|
||||
|
||||
- Default: `channels.zalouser.groupPolicy = "open"` (groups allowed). Use `channels.defaults.groupPolicy` to override the default when unset.
|
||||
- Restrict to an allowlist with:
|
||||
- `channels.zalouser.groupPolicy = "allowlist"`
|
||||
- `channels.zalouser.groups` (keys are group IDs or names)
|
||||
- Block all groups: `channels.zalouser.groupPolicy = "disabled"`.
|
||||
- The configure wizard can prompt for group allowlists.
|
||||
- On startup, OpenClaw resolves group/user names in allowlists to IDs and logs the mapping; unresolved entries are kept as typed.
|
||||
|
||||
Example:
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
channels: {
|
||||
zalouser: {
|
||||
groupPolicy: "allowlist",
|
||||
groups: {
|
||||
"123456789": { allow: true },
|
||||
"Work Chat": { allow: true },
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Multi-account
|
||||
|
||||
Accounts map to zca profiles. Example:
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
channels: {
|
||||
zalouser: {
|
||||
enabled: true,
|
||||
defaultAccount: "default",
|
||||
accounts: {
|
||||
work: { enabled: true, profile: "work" },
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
**`zca` not found:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Install zca-cli and ensure it’s on `PATH` for the Gateway process.
|
||||
|
||||
**Login doesn’t stick:**
|
||||
|
||||
- `openclaw channels status --probe`
|
||||
- Re-login: `openclaw channels logout --channel zalouser && openclaw channels login --channel zalouser`

summary: "Run the ACP bridge for IDE integrations"
|

read_when:
|

- Setting up ACP-based IDE integrations
|
||||
- Debugging ACP session routing to the Gateway
|
||||
title: "acp"

|
||||
|
||||
# acp
|
||||
|
||||
Run the ACP (Agent Client Protocol) bridge that talks to a OpenClaw Gateway.
|
||||
|
||||
This command speaks ACP over stdio for IDEs and forwards prompts to the Gateway
|
||||
over WebSocket. It keeps ACP sessions mapped to Gateway session keys.
|
||||
|
||||
## Usage
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw acp
|
||||
|
||||
# Remote Gateway
|
||||
openclaw acp --url wss://gateway-host:18789 --token <token>
|
||||
|
||||
# Attach to an existing session key
|
||||
openclaw acp --session agent:main:main
|
||||
|
||||
# Attach by label (must already exist)
|
||||
openclaw acp --session-label "support inbox"
|
||||
|
||||
# Reset the session key before the first prompt
|
||||
openclaw acp --session agent:main:main --reset-session
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## ACP client (debug)
|
||||
|
||||
Use the built-in ACP client to sanity-check the bridge without an IDE.
|
||||
It spawns the ACP bridge and lets you type prompts interactively.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw acp client
|
||||
|
||||
# Point the spawned bridge at a remote Gateway
|
||||
openclaw acp client --server-args --url wss://gateway-host:18789 --token <token>
|
||||
|
||||
# Override the server command (default: openclaw)
|
||||
openclaw acp client --server "node" --server-args openclaw.mjs acp --url ws://127.0.0.1:19001
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## How to use this
|
||||
|
||||
Use ACP when an IDE (or other client) speaks Agent Client Protocol and you want
|
||||
it to drive a OpenClaw Gateway session.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Ensure the Gateway is running (local or remote).
|
||||
2. Configure the Gateway target (config or flags).
|
||||
3. Point your IDE to run `openclaw acp` over stdio.
|
||||
|
||||
Example config (persisted):
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw config set gateway.remote.url wss://gateway-host:18789
|
||||
openclaw config set gateway.remote.token <token>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Example direct run (no config write):
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw acp --url wss://gateway-host:18789 --token <token>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Selecting agents
|
||||
|
||||
ACP does not pick agents directly. It routes by the Gateway session key.
|
||||
|
||||
Use agent-scoped session keys to target a specific agent:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw acp --session agent:main:main
|
||||
openclaw acp --session agent:design:main
|
||||
openclaw acp --session agent:qa:bug-123
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Each ACP session maps to a single Gateway session key. One agent can have many
|
||||
sessions; ACP defaults to an isolated `acp:<uuid>` session unless you override
|
||||
the key or label.
|
||||
|
||||
## Zed editor setup
|
||||
|
||||
Add a custom ACP agent in `~/.config/zed/settings.json` (or use Zed’s Settings UI):
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"agent_servers": {
|
||||
"OpenClaw ACP": {
|
||||
"type": "custom",
|
||||
"command": "openclaw",
|
||||
"args": ["acp"],
|
||||
"env": {}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
To target a specific Gateway or agent:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"agent_servers": {
|
||||
"OpenClaw ACP": {
|
||||
"type": "custom",
|
||||
"command": "openclaw",
|
||||
"args": [
|
||||
"acp",
|
||||
"--url",
|
||||
"wss://gateway-host:18789",
|
||||
"--token",
|
||||
"<token>",
|
||||
"--session",
|
||||
"agent:design:main"
|
||||
],
|
||||
"env": {}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
In Zed, open the Agent panel and select “OpenClaw ACP” to start a thread.
|
||||
|
||||
## Session mapping
|
||||
|
||||
By default, ACP sessions get an isolated Gateway session key with an `acp:` prefix.
|
||||
To reuse a known session, pass a session key or label:
|
||||
|
||||
- `--session <key>`: use a specific Gateway session key.
|
||||
- `--session-label <label>`: resolve an existing session by label.
|
||||
- `--reset-session`: mint a fresh session id for that key (same key, new transcript).
|
||||
|
||||
If your ACP client supports metadata, you can override per session:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"_meta": {
|
||||
"sessionKey": "agent:main:main",
|
||||
"sessionLabel": "support inbox",
|
||||
"resetSession": true
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Learn more about session keys at [/concepts/session](/concepts/session).
|
||||
|
||||
## Options
|
||||
|
||||
- `--url <url>`: Gateway WebSocket URL (defaults to gateway.remote.url when configured).
|
||||
- `--token <token>`: Gateway auth token.
|
||||
- `--password <password>`: Gateway auth password.
|
||||
- `--session <key>`: default session key.
|
||||
- `--session-label <label>`: default session label to resolve.
|
||||
- `--require-existing`: fail if the session key/label does not exist.
|
||||
- `--reset-session`: reset the session key before first use.
|
||||
- `--no-prefix-cwd`: do not prefix prompts with the working directory.
|
||||
- `--verbose, -v`: verbose logging to stderr.
|
||||
|
||||
### `acp client` options
|
||||
|
||||
- `--cwd <dir>`: working directory for the ACP session.
|
||||
- `--server <command>`: ACP server command (default: `openclaw`).
|
||||
- `--server-args <args...>`: extra arguments passed to the ACP server.
|
||||
- `--server-verbose`: enable verbose logging on the ACP server.
|
||||
- `--verbose, -v`: verbose client logging.

## Identity files
|
||||
|
||||
Each agent workspace can include an `IDENTITY.md` at the workspace root:
|
||||
|
||||
- Example path: `~/.openclaw/workspace/IDENTITY.md`
|
||||
- `set-identity --from-identity` reads from the workspace root (or an explicit `--identity-file`)
|
||||
|
||||
Avatar paths resolve relative to the workspace root.
|
||||
|
||||
## Set identity
|
||||
|
||||
`set-identity` writes fields into `agents.list[].identity`:
|
||||
|

- `name`
|
||||
- `theme`
|
||||
- `emoji`
|
||||
- `avatar` (workspace-relative path, http(s) URL, or data URI)
|
||||
|
||||
Load from `IDENTITY.md`:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw agents set-identity --workspace ~/.openclaw/workspace --from-identity
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Override fields explicitly:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash

||||
openclaw agents set-identity --agent main --name "OpenClaw" --emoji "🦞" --avatar avatars/openclaw.png

- `--node` uses the same resolver as `openclaw nodes` (id, name, ip, or id prefix).
|
||||
- `--agent` defaults to `"*"`, which applies to all agents.
|
||||
- The node host must advertise `system.execApprovals.get/set` (macOS app or headless node host).

# `openclaw browser`
|
||||
|
||||
Manage OpenClaw’s browser control server and run browser actions (tabs, snapshots, screenshots, navigation, clicks, typing).
|
||||
|
||||
Related:
|
||||
|
||||
- Browser tool + API: [Browser tool](/tools/browser)
|
||||
- Chrome extension relay: [Chrome extension](/tools/chrome-extension)
|
||||
|
||||
## Common flags
|
||||
|
||||
- `--url <gatewayWsUrl>`: Gateway WebSocket URL (defaults to config).
|
||||
- `--token <token>`: Gateway token (if required).
|
||||
- `--timeout <ms>`: request timeout (ms).
|
||||
- `--browser-profile <name>`: choose a browser profile (default from config).
|
||||
- `--json`: machine-readable output (where supported).
|
||||
|
||||
## Quick start (local)
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw browser --browser-profile chrome tabs
|
||||
openclaw browser --browser-profile openclaw start
|
||||
openclaw browser --browser-profile openclaw open https://example.com
|
||||
openclaw browser --browser-profile openclaw snapshot
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Profiles
|
||||
|
||||
Profiles are named browser routing configs. In practice:
|
||||
|
||||
- `openclaw`: launches/attaches to a dedicated OpenClaw-managed Chrome instance (isolated user data dir).
|
||||
- `chrome`: controls your existing Chrome tab(s) via the Chrome extension relay.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw browser profiles
|
||||
openclaw browser create-profile --name work --color "#FF5A36"
|
||||
openclaw browser delete-profile --name work
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Use a specific profile:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw browser --browser-profile work tabs
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Tabs
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw browser tabs
|
||||
openclaw browser open https://docs.openclaw.ai
|
||||
openclaw browser focus <targetId>
|
||||
openclaw browser close <targetId>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Snapshot / screenshot / actions
|
||||
|
||||
Snapshot:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw browser snapshot
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Screenshot:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw browser screenshot
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Navigate/click/type (ref-based UI automation):
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw browser navigate https://example.com
|
||||
openclaw browser click <ref>
|
||||
openclaw browser type <ref> "hello"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Chrome extension relay (attach via toolbar button)
|
||||
|
||||
This mode lets the agent control an existing Chrome tab that you attach manually (it does not auto-attach).
|
||||
|
||||
Install the unpacked extension to a stable path:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw browser extension install
|
||||
openclaw browser extension path
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Then Chrome → `chrome://extensions` → enable “Developer mode” → “Load unpacked” → select the printed folder.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Remote browser control (node host proxy)
|
||||
|
||||
If the Gateway runs on a different machine than the browser, run a **node host** on the machine that has Chrome/Brave/Edge/Chromium. The Gateway will proxy browser actions to that node (no separate browser control server required).
|
||||
|
||||
Use `gateway.nodes.browser.mode` to control auto-routing and `gateway.nodes.browser.node` to pin a specific node if multiple are connected.

# `openclaw channels`
|
||||
|
||||
Manage chat channel accounts and their runtime status on the Gateway.
|
||||
|
||||
Related docs:
|
||||
|
||||
- Channel guides: [Channels](/channels/index)
|
||||
- Gateway configuration: [Configuration](/gateway/configuration)
|
||||
|

## Common commands
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw channels list
|
||||
openclaw channels status
|
||||
openclaw channels capabilities
|
||||
openclaw channels capabilities --channel discord --target channel:123
|
||||
openclaw channels resolve --channel slack "#general" "@jane"
|
||||
openclaw channels logs --channel all
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Add / remove accounts
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw channels add --channel telegram --token <bot-token>
|
||||
openclaw channels remove --channel telegram --delete
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Tip: `openclaw channels add --help` shows per-channel flags (token, app token, signal-cli paths, etc).
|
||||
|
||||
## Login / logout (interactive)
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw channels login --channel whatsapp
|
||||
openclaw channels logout --channel whatsapp
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
- Run `openclaw status --deep` for a broad probe.
|
||||
- Use `openclaw doctor` for guided fixes.
|
||||
- `openclaw channels list` prints `Claude: HTTP 403 ... user:profile` → usage snapshot needs the `user:profile` scope. Use `--no-usage`, or provide a claude.ai session key (`CLAUDE_WEB_SESSION_KEY` / `CLAUDE_WEB_COOKIE`), or re-auth via Claude Code CLI.
|
||||
|
||||
## Capabilities probe
|
||||
|
||||
Fetch provider capability hints (intents/scopes where available) plus static feature support:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw channels capabilities
|
||||
openclaw channels capabilities --channel discord --target channel:123
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Notes:
|
||||
|
||||
- `--channel` is optional; omit it to list every channel (including extensions).
|
||||
- `--target` accepts `channel:<id>` or a raw numeric channel id and only applies to Discord.
|
||||
- Probes are provider-specific: Discord intents + optional channel permissions; Slack bot + user scopes; Telegram bot flags + webhook; Signal daemon version; MS Teams app token + Graph roles/scopes (annotated where known). Channels without probes report `Probe: unavailable`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Resolve names to IDs
|
||||
|
||||
Resolve channel/user names to IDs using the provider directory:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw channels resolve --channel slack "#general" "@jane"
|
||||
openclaw channels resolve --channel discord "My Server/#support" "@someone"
|
||||
openclaw channels resolve --channel matrix "Project Room"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Notes:
|
||||
|
||||
- Use `--kind user|group|auto` to force the target type.
|
||||
- Resolution prefers active matches when multiple entries share the same name.

# `openclaw config`

Config helpers: get/set/unset values by path. Run without a subcommand to open
|
||||
the configure wizard (same as `openclaw configure`).
|
||||
|
||||
## Examples
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw config get browser.executablePath
|
||||
openclaw config set browser.executablePath "/usr/bin/google-chrome"
|

openclaw config set agents.defaults.heartbeat.every "2h"
|

openclaw config set agents.list[0].tools.exec.node "node-id-or-name"
|
||||
openclaw config unset tools.web.search.apiKey
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Paths
|
||||
|
||||
Paths use dot or bracket notation:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw config get agents.defaults.workspace
|
||||
openclaw config get agents.list[0].id
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Use the agent list index to target a specific agent:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw config get agents.list
|
||||
openclaw config set agents.list[1].tools.exec.node "node-id-or-name"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Values
|
||||
|
||||
Values are parsed as JSON5 when possible; otherwise they are treated as strings.
|
||||
Use `--json` to require JSON5 parsing.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw config set agents.defaults.heartbeat.every "0m"
|
||||
openclaw config set gateway.port 19001 --json
|

|
||||
|
||||
### `openclaw devices list`
|
||||
|
||||
List pending pairing requests and paired devices.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
openclaw devices list
|
||||
openclaw devices list --json
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### `openclaw devices approve <requestId>`
|
||||
|
||||
Approve a pending device pairing request.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
openclaw devices approve <requestId>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### `openclaw devices reject <requestId>`
|
||||
|
||||
Reject a pending device pairing request.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
openclaw devices reject <requestId>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### `openclaw devices rotate --device <id> --role <role> [--scope <scope...>]`
|
||||
|
||||
Rotate a device token for a specific role (optionally updating scopes).
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
openclaw devices rotate --device <deviceId> --role operator --scope operator.read --scope operator.write
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### `openclaw devices revoke --device <id> --role <role>`
|
||||
|
||||
Revoke a device token for a specific role.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
openclaw devices revoke --device <deviceId> --role node
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Common options
|
||||
|
||||
- `--url <url>`: Gateway WebSocket URL (defaults to `gateway.remote.url` when configured).
|
||||
- `--token <token>`: Gateway token (if required).
|
||||
- `--password <password>`: Gateway password (password auth).
|
||||
- `--timeout <ms>`: RPC timeout.
|
||||
- `--json`: JSON output (recommended for scripting).
|
||||
|
||||
Note: when you set `--url`, the CLI does not fall back to config or environment credentials.
|
||||
Pass `--token` or `--password` explicitly. Missing explicit credentials is an error.
|
||||
|
||||
## Notes
|
||||
|
||||
- Token rotation returns a new token (sensitive). Treat it like a secret.
|
||||
- These commands require `operator.pairing` (or `operator.admin`) scope.

# `openclaw directory`
|

Directory lookups for channels that support it (contacts/peers, groups, and “me”).
|

|
||||
## Common flags
|

|

- `--channel <name>`: channel id/alias (required when multiple channels are configured; auto when only one is configured)

- `--account <id>`: account id (default: channel default)
|

- `--json`: output JSON
|
||||
|

## Notes
|
||||
|
||||
- `directory` is meant to help you find IDs you can paste into other commands (especially `openclaw message send --target ...`).
|
||||
- For many channels, results are config-backed (allowlists / configured groups) rather than a live provider directory.
|
||||
- Default output is `id` (and sometimes `name`) separated by a tab; use `--json` for scripting.
|
||||
|
||||
## Using results with `message send`
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw directory peers list --channel slack --query "U0"
|
||||
openclaw message send --channel slack --target user:U012ABCDEF --message "hello"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## ID formats (by channel)
|
||||
|
||||
- WhatsApp: `+15551234567` (DM), `1234567890-1234567890@g.us` (group)
|
||||
- Telegram: `@username` or numeric chat id; groups are numeric ids
|
||||
- Slack: `user:U…` and `channel:C…`
|
||||
- Discord: `user:<id>` and `channel:<id>`
|
||||
- Matrix (plugin): `user:@user:server`, `room:!roomId:server`, or `#alias:server`
|
||||
- Microsoft Teams (plugin): `user:<id>` and `conversation:<id>`
|
||||
- Zalo (plugin): user id (Bot API)
|
||||
- Zalo Personal / `zalouser` (plugin): thread id (DM/group) from `zca` (`me`, `friend list`, `group list`)
|
||||
|
||||
## Self (“me”)
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw directory self --channel zalouser
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||

- Interactive prompts (like keychain/OAuth fixes) only run when stdin is a TTY and `--non-interactive` is **not** set. Headless runs (cron, Telegram, no terminal) will skip prompts.
|
||||
- `--fix` (alias for `--repair`) writes a backup to `~/.openclaw/openclaw.json.bak` and drops unknown config keys, listing each removal.
|
||||
|
||||
## macOS: `launchctl` env overrides
|
||||
|
||||
If you previously ran `launchctl setenv OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_TOKEN ...` (or `...PASSWORD`), that value overrides your config file and can cause persistent “unauthorized” errors.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
launchctl getenv OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_TOKEN
|
||||
launchctl getenv OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_PASSWORD
|
||||
|
||||
launchctl unsetenv OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_TOKEN
|
||||
launchctl unsetenv OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_PASSWORD
|
||||
```

# Gateway CLI
|
||||
|
||||
The Gateway is OpenClaw’s WebSocket server (channels, nodes, sessions, hooks).
|
||||
|
||||
Subcommands in this page live under `openclaw gateway …`.
|
||||
|
||||
Related docs:
|
||||
|
||||
- [/gateway/bonjour](/gateway/bonjour)
|
||||
- [/gateway/discovery](/gateway/discovery)
|
||||
- [/gateway/configuration](/gateway/configuration)
|
||||
|
||||
## Run the Gateway
|
||||
|
||||
Run a local Gateway process:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw gateway
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Foreground alias:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw gateway run
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Notes:
|
||||
|
||||
- By default, the Gateway refuses to start unless `gateway.mode=local` is set in `~/.openclaw/openclaw.json`. Use `--allow-unconfigured` for ad-hoc/dev runs.
|
||||
- Binding beyond loopback without auth is blocked (safety guardrail).
|
||||
- `SIGUSR1` triggers an in-process restart when authorized (enable `commands.restart` or use the gateway tool/config apply/update).
|
||||
- `SIGINT`/`SIGTERM` handlers stop the gateway process, but they don’t restore any custom terminal state. If you wrap the CLI with a TUI or raw-mode input, restore the terminal before exit.
|
||||
|
||||
### Options
|
||||
|
||||
- `--port <port>`: WebSocket port (default comes from config/env; usually `18789`).
|
||||
- `--bind <loopback|lan|tailnet|auto|custom>`: listener bind mode.
|
||||
- `--auth <token|password>`: auth mode override.
|
||||
- `--token <token>`: token override (also sets `OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_TOKEN` for the process).
|
||||
- `--password <password>`: password override (also sets `OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_PASSWORD` for the process).
|
||||
- `--tailscale <off|serve|funnel>`: expose the Gateway via Tailscale.
|
||||
- `--tailscale-reset-on-exit`: reset Tailscale serve/funnel config on shutdown.
|
||||
- `--allow-unconfigured`: allow gateway start without `gateway.mode=local` in config.
|
||||
- `--dev`: create a dev config + workspace if missing (skips BOOTSTRAP.md).
|
||||
- `--reset`: reset dev config + credentials + sessions + workspace (requires `--dev`).
|
||||
- `--force`: kill any existing listener on the selected port before starting.
|
||||
- `--verbose`: verbose logs.
|
||||
- `--claude-cli-logs`: only show claude-cli logs in the console (and enable its stdout/stderr).
|
||||
- `--ws-log <auto|full|compact>`: websocket log style (default `auto`).
|
||||
- `--compact`: alias for `--ws-log compact`.
|
||||
- `--raw-stream`: log raw model stream events to jsonl.
|
||||
- `--raw-stream-path <path>`: raw stream jsonl path.
|
||||
|
||||
## Query a running Gateway
|
||||
|
||||
All query commands use WebSocket RPC.
|
||||
|
||||
Output modes:
|
||||
|
||||
- Default: human-readable (colored in TTY).
|
||||
- `--json`: machine-readable JSON (no styling/spinner).
|
||||
- `--no-color` (or `NO_COLOR=1`): disable ANSI while keeping human layout.
|
||||
|
||||
Shared options (where supported):
|
||||
|
||||
- `--url <url>`: Gateway WebSocket URL.
|
||||
- `--token <token>`: Gateway token.
|
||||
- `--password <password>`: Gateway password.
|
||||
- `--timeout <ms>`: timeout/budget (varies per command).
|
||||
- `--expect-final`: wait for a “final” response (agent calls).
|
||||
|
||||
Note: when you set `--url`, the CLI does not fall back to config or environment credentials.
|
||||
Pass `--token` or `--password` explicitly. Missing explicit credentials is an error.
|
||||
|
||||
### `gateway health`
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw gateway health --url ws://127.0.0.1:18789
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### `gateway status`
|
||||
|
||||
`gateway status` shows the Gateway service (launchd/systemd/schtasks) plus an optional RPC probe.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw gateway status
|
||||
openclaw gateway status --json
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Options:
|
||||
|
||||
- `--url <url>`: override the probe URL.
|
||||
- `--token <token>`: token auth for the probe.
|
||||
- `--password <password>`: password auth for the probe.
|
||||
- `--timeout <ms>`: probe timeout (default `10000`).
|
||||
- `--no-probe`: skip the RPC probe (service-only view).
|
||||
- `--deep`: scan system-level services too.
|
||||
|
||||
### `gateway probe`
|
||||
|
||||
`gateway probe` is the “debug everything” command. It always probes:
|
||||
|
||||
- your configured remote gateway (if set), and
|
||||
- localhost (loopback) **even if remote is configured**.
|
||||
|
||||
If multiple gateways are reachable, it prints all of them. Multiple gateways are supported when you use isolated profiles/ports (e.g., a rescue bot), but most installs still run a single gateway.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw gateway probe
|
||||
openclaw gateway probe --json
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Remote over SSH (Mac app parity)
|
||||
|
||||
The macOS app “Remote over SSH” mode uses a local port-forward so the remote gateway (which may be bound to loopback only) becomes reachable at `ws://127.0.0.1:<port>`.
|
||||
|
||||
CLI equivalent:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw gateway probe --ssh user@gateway-host
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Options:
|
||||
|
||||
- `--ssh <target>`: `user@host` or `user@host:port` (port defaults to `22`).
|
||||
- `--ssh-identity <path>`: identity file.
|
||||
- `--ssh-auto`: pick the first discovered gateway host as SSH target (LAN/WAB only).
|
||||
|
||||
Config (optional, used as defaults):
|
||||
|
||||
- `gateway.remote.sshTarget`
|
||||
- `gateway.remote.sshIdentity`
|
||||
|
||||
### `gateway call <method>`
|
||||
|
||||
Low-level RPC helper.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw gateway call status
|
||||
openclaw gateway call logs.tail --params '{"sinceMs": 60000}'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Manage the Gateway service
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw gateway install
|
||||
openclaw gateway start
|
||||
openclaw gateway stop
|
||||
openclaw gateway restart
|
||||
openclaw gateway uninstall
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Notes:
|
||||
|
||||
- `gateway install` supports `--port`, `--runtime`, `--token`, `--force`, `--json`.
|
||||
- Lifecycle commands accept `--json` for scripting.
|
||||
|
||||
## Discover gateways (Bonjour)
|
||||
|
||||
`gateway discover` scans for Gateway beacons (`_openclaw-gw._tcp`).
|
||||
|
||||
- Multicast DNS-SD: `local.`
|
||||
- Unicast DNS-SD (Wide-Area Bonjour): choose a domain (example: `openclaw.internal.`) and set up split DNS + a DNS server; see [/gateway/bonjour](/gateway/bonjour)
|
||||
|
||||
Only gateways with Bonjour discovery enabled (default) advertise the beacon.
|
||||
|
||||
Wide-Area discovery records include (TXT):
|
||||
|
||||
- `role` (gateway role hint)
|
||||
- `transport` (transport hint, e.g. `gateway`)
|
||||
- `gatewayPort` (WebSocket port, usually `18789`)
|
||||
- `sshPort` (SSH port; defaults to `22` if not present)
|
||||
- `tailnetDns` (MagicDNS hostname, when available)
|
||||
- `gatewayTls` / `gatewayTlsSha256` (TLS enabled + cert fingerprint)
|
||||
- `cliPath` (optional hint for remote installs)
|
||||
|
||||
### `gateway discover`
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw gateway discover
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Options:
|
||||
|
||||
- `--timeout <ms>`: per-command timeout (browse/resolve); default `2000`.
|
||||
- `--json`: machine-readable output (also disables styling/spinner).
|
||||
|
||||
Examples:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw gateway discover --timeout 4000
|
||||
openclaw gateway discover --json | jq '.beacons[].wsUrl'

## Enable a Hook
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw hooks enable <name>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Enable a specific hook by adding it to your config (`~/.openclaw/config.json`).
|
||||
|
||||
**Note:** Hooks managed by plugins show `plugin:<id>` in `openclaw hooks list` and
|
||||
can’t be enabled/disabled here. Enable/disable the plugin instead.
|
||||
|
||||
**Arguments:**
|
||||
|
||||
- `<name>`: Hook name (e.g., `session-memory`)
|
||||
|
||||
**Example:**

||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw hooks enable session-memory
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Output:**
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
✓ Enabled hook: 💾 session-memory
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**What it does:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Checks if hook exists and is eligible
|
||||
- Updates `hooks.internal.entries.<name>.enabled = true` in your config
|
||||
- Saves config to disk
|
||||
|
||||
**After enabling:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Restart the gateway so hooks reload (menu bar app restart on macOS, or restart your gateway process in dev).
|
||||
|
||||
## Disable a Hook
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw hooks disable <name>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Disable a specific hook by updating your config.
|
||||
|
||||
**Arguments:**
|
||||
|
||||
- `<name>`: Hook name (e.g., `command-logger`)
|
||||
|
||||
**Example:**
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw hooks disable command-logger
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Output:**
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
⏸ Disabled hook: 📝 command-logger
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**After disabling:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Restart the gateway so hooks reload
|
||||
|
||||
## Install Hooks
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw hooks install <path-or-spec>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Install a hook pack from a local folder/archive or npm.
|
||||
|
||||
**What it does:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Copies the hook pack into `~/.openclaw/hooks/<id>`
|
||||
- Enables the installed hooks in `hooks.internal.entries.*`
|
||||
- Records the install under `hooks.internal.installs`
|
||||
|
||||
**Options:**
|
||||
|
||||
- `-l, --link`: Link a local directory instead of copying (adds it to `hooks.internal.load.extraDirs`)
|
||||
|
||||
**Supported archives:** `.zip`, `.tgz`, `.tar.gz`, `.tar`
|
||||

# `openclaw memory`
|
||||
|
||||
Manage semantic memory indexing and search.
|
||||
Provided by the active memory plugin (default: `memory-core`; set `plugins.slots.memory = "none"` to disable).

```bash
|
||||
openclaw memory status
|
||||
openclaw memory status --deep
|
||||
openclaw memory status --deep --index

|
||||
openclaw memory status --agent main
|
||||
openclaw memory index --agent main --verbose
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Options
|
||||
|
||||
Common:
|
||||
|
||||
- `--agent <id>`: scope to a single agent (default: all configured agents).
|
||||
- `--verbose`: emit detailed logs during probes and indexing.
|
||||
|
||||
Notes:
|
||||
|
||||
- `memory status --deep` probes vector + embedding availability.
|
||||
- `memory status --deep --index` runs a reindex if the store is dirty.
|
||||
- `memory index --verbose` prints per-phase details (provider, model, sources, batch activity).
|
||||
- `memory status` includes any extra paths configured via `memorySearch.extraPaths`.

# `openclaw message`
|
||||
|
||||
Single outbound command for sending messages and channel actions
|
||||
(Discord/Google Chat/Slack/Mattermost (plugin)/Telegram/WhatsApp/Signal/iMessage/MS Teams).
|
||||
|
||||
## Usage
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
openclaw message <subcommand> [flags]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Channel selection:
|
||||
|
||||
- `--channel` required if more than one channel is configured.
|
||||
- If exactly one channel is configured, it becomes the default.
|
||||
- Values: `whatsapp|telegram|discord|googlechat|slack|mattermost|signal|imessage|msteams` (Mattermost requires plugin)
|
||||
|
||||
Target formats (`--target`):
|
||||
|
||||
- WhatsApp: E.164 or group JID
|
||||
- Telegram: chat id or `@username`
|
||||
- Discord: `channel:<id>` or `user:<id>` (or `<@id>` mention; raw numeric ids are treated as channels)
|
||||
- Google Chat: `spaces/<spaceId>` or `users/<userId>`
|
||||
- Slack: `channel:<id>` or `user:<id>` (raw channel id is accepted)
|
||||
- Mattermost (plugin): `channel:<id>`, `user:<id>`, or `@username` (bare ids are treated as channels)
|
||||
- Signal: `+E.164`, `group:<id>`, `signal:+E.164`, `signal:group:<id>`, or `username:<name>`/`u:<name>`
|
||||
- iMessage: handle, `chat_id:<id>`, `chat_guid:<guid>`, or `chat_identifier:<id>`
|
||||
- MS Teams: conversation id (`19:...@thread.tacv2`) or `conversation:<id>` or `user:<aad-object-id>`
|
||||
|
||||
Name lookup:
|
||||
|
||||
- For supported providers (Discord/Slack/etc), channel names like `Help` or `#help` are resolved via the directory cache.
|
||||
- On cache miss, OpenClaw will attempt a live directory lookup when the provider supports it.
|
||||
|
||||
## Common flags
|
||||
|
||||
- `--channel <name>`
|
||||
- `--account <id>`
|
||||
- `--target <dest>` (target channel or user for send/poll/read/etc)
|
||||
- `--targets <name>` (repeat; broadcast only)
|
||||
- `--json`
|
||||
- `--dry-run`

||||
|
||||
- Providers + models: [Models](/providers/models)
|
||||
- Provider auth setup: [Getting started](/start/getting-started)
|
||||
|
||||
## Common commands
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw models status
|
||||
openclaw models list
|
||||
openclaw models set <model-or-alias>
|
||||
openclaw models scan
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`openclaw models status` shows the resolved default/fallbacks plus an auth overview.
|
||||
When provider usage snapshots are available, the OAuth/token status section includes
|
||||
provider usage headers.
|
||||
Add `--probe` to run live auth probes against each configured provider profile.
|
||||
Probes are real requests (may consume tokens and trigger rate limits).
|
||||
Use `--agent <id>` to inspect a configured agent’s model/auth state. When omitted,
|
||||
the command uses `OPENCLAW_AGENT_DIR`/`PI_CODING_AGENT_DIR` if set, otherwise the
|
||||
configured default agent.
|
||||
|
||||
Notes:
|
||||
|
||||
- `models set <model-or-alias>` accepts `provider/model` or an alias.
|
||||
- Model refs are parsed by splitting on the **first** `/`. If the model ID includes `/` (OpenRouter-style), include the provider prefix (example: `openrouter/moonshotai/kimi-k2`).
|
||||
- If you omit the provider, OpenClaw treats the input as an alias or a model for the **default provider** (only works when there is no `/` in the model ID).
|
||||
|
||||
### `models status`
|
||||
|
||||
Options:
|
||||
|
||||
- `--json`
|
||||
- `--plain`
|
||||
- `--check` (exit 1=expired/missing, 2=expiring)
|
||||
- `--probe` (live probe of configured auth profiles)
|
||||
- `--probe-provider <name>` (probe one provider)
|
||||
- `--probe-profile <id>` (repeat or comma-separated profile ids)
|
||||
- `--probe-timeout <ms>`
|
||||
- `--probe-concurrency <n>`
|
||||
- `--probe-max-tokens <n>`
|
||||
- `--agent <id>` (configured agent id; overrides `OPENCLAW_AGENT_DIR`/`PI_CODING_AGENT_DIR`)
|
||||
|
||||
## Aliases + fallbacks
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw models aliases list
|
||||
openclaw models fallbacks list
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Auth profiles
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw models auth add
|
||||
openclaw models auth login --provider <id>
|
||||
openclaw models auth setup-token
|
||||
openclaw models auth paste-token
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`models auth login` runs a provider plugin’s auth flow (OAuth/API key). Use
|
||||
`openclaw plugins list` to see which providers are installed.
|
||||
|
||||
Notes:
|
||||
|
||||
- `setup-token` prompts for a setup-token value (generate it with `claude setup-token` on any machine).
|
||||
- `paste-token` accepts a token string generated elsewhere or from automation.

|

# `openclaw node`
|
||||
|
||||
Run a **headless node host** that connects to the Gateway WebSocket and exposes
|
||||
`system.run` / `system.which` on this machine.
|
||||
|
||||
## Why use a node host?
|
||||
|
||||
Use a node host when you want agents to **run commands on other machines** in your
|
||||
network without installing a full macOS companion app there.
|
||||
|
||||
Common use cases:
|
||||
|
||||
- Run commands on remote Linux/Windows boxes (build servers, lab machines, NAS).
|
||||
- Keep exec **sandboxed** on the gateway, but delegate approved runs to other hosts.
|
||||
- Provide a lightweight, headless execution target for automation or CI nodes.
|
||||
|
||||
Execution is still guarded by **exec approvals** and per‑agent allowlists on the
|
||||
node host, so you can keep command access scoped and explicit.
|
||||
|
||||
## Browser proxy (zero-config)
|
||||
|
||||
Node hosts automatically advertise a browser proxy if `browser.enabled` is not
|
||||
disabled on the node. This lets the agent use browser automation on that node
|
||||
without extra configuration.
|
||||
|
||||
Disable it on the node if needed:
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
nodeHost: {
|
||||
browserProxy: {
|
||||
enabled: false,
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Run (foreground)
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw node run --host <gateway-host> --port 18789
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Options:
|
||||
|
||||
- `--host <host>`: Gateway WebSocket host (default: `127.0.0.1`)
|
||||
- `--port <port>`: Gateway WebSocket port (default: `18789`)
|
||||
- `--tls`: Use TLS for the gateway connection
|
||||
- `--tls-fingerprint <sha256>`: Expected TLS certificate fingerprint (sha256)
|
||||
- `--node-id <id>`: Override node id (clears pairing token)
|
||||
- `--display-name <name>`: Override the node display name
|
||||
|
||||
## Service (background)
|
||||
|
||||
Install a headless node host as a user service.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw node install --host <gateway-host> --port 18789
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Options:
|
||||
|
||||
- `--host <host>`: Gateway WebSocket host (default: `127.0.0.1`)
|
||||
- `--port <port>`: Gateway WebSocket port (default: `18789`)
|
||||
- `--tls`: Use TLS for the gateway connection
|
||||
- `--tls-fingerprint <sha256>`: Expected TLS certificate fingerprint (sha256)
|
||||
- `--node-id <id>`: Override node id (clears pairing token)
|
||||
- `--display-name <name>`: Override the node display name
|
||||
- `--runtime <runtime>`: Service runtime (`node` or `bun`)
|
||||
- `--force`: Reinstall/overwrite if already installed
|
||||
|
||||
Manage the service:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw node status
|
||||
openclaw node stop
|
||||
openclaw node restart
|
||||
openclaw node uninstall
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Use `openclaw node run` for a foreground node host (no service).
|
||||
|
||||
Service commands accept `--json` for machine-readable output.
|
||||
|
||||
## Pairing
|
||||
|
||||
The first connection creates a pending node pair request on the Gateway.
|
||||
Approve it via:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw nodes pending
|
||||
openclaw nodes approve <requestId>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The node host stores its node id, token, display name, and gateway connection info in
|
||||
`~/.openclaw/node.json`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Exec approvals
|
||||
|
||||
`system.run` is gated by local exec approvals:
|
||||
|
||||
- `~/.openclaw/exec-approvals.json`
|
||||
- [Exec approvals](/tools/exec-approvals)
|
||||
- `openclaw approvals --node <id|name|ip>` (edit from the Gateway)

- Camera: [Camera nodes](/nodes/camera)
|
||||
- Images: [Image nodes](/nodes/images)
|
||||
|
||||
Common options:
|
||||
|
||||
- `--url`, `--token`, `--timeout`, `--json`
|
||||
|
||||
## Common commands
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw nodes list
|
||||
openclaw nodes list --connected
|
||||
openclaw nodes list --last-connected 24h
|
||||
openclaw nodes pending
|
||||
openclaw nodes approve <requestId>
|
||||
openclaw nodes status
|
||||
openclaw nodes status --connected
|
||||
openclaw nodes status --last-connected 24h
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`nodes list` prints pending/paired tables. Paired rows include the most recent connect age (Last Connect).
|
||||
Use `--connected` to only show currently-connected nodes. Use `--last-connected <duration>` to
|
||||
filter to nodes that connected within a duration (e.g. `24h`, `7d`).
|
||||
|
||||
## Invoke / run
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw nodes invoke --node <id|name|ip> --command <command> --params <json>
|
||||
openclaw nodes run --node <id|name|ip> <command...>
|
||||
openclaw nodes run --raw "git status"
|
||||
openclaw nodes run --agent main --node <id|name|ip> --raw "git status"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Invoke flags:
|
||||
|
||||
- `--params <json>`: JSON object string (default `{}`).
|
||||
- `--invoke-timeout <ms>`: node invoke timeout (default `15000`).
|
||||
- `--idempotency-key <key>`: optional idempotency key.
|
||||
|
||||
### Exec-style defaults
|
||||
|
||||
`nodes run` mirrors the model’s exec behavior (defaults + approvals):
|
||||
|
||||
- Reads `tools.exec.*` (plus `agents.list[].tools.exec.*` overrides).
|
||||
- Uses exec approvals (`exec.approval.request`) before invoking `system.run`.
|
||||
- `--node` can be omitted when `tools.exec.node` is set.
|
||||
- Requires a node that advertises `system.run` (macOS companion app or headless node host).
|
||||
|
||||
Flags:
|
||||
|
||||
- `--cwd <path>`: working directory.
|
||||
- `--env <key=val>`: env override (repeatable).
|
||||
- `--command-timeout <ms>`: command timeout.
|
||||
- `--invoke-timeout <ms>`: node invoke timeout (default `30000`).
|
||||
- `--needs-screen-recording`: require screen recording permission.
|
||||
- `--raw <command>`: run a shell string (`/bin/sh -lc` or `cmd.exe /c`).
|
||||
- `--agent <id>`: agent-scoped approvals/allowlists (defaults to configured agent).
|
||||
- `--ask <off|on-miss|always>`, `--security <deny|allowlist|full>`: overrides.

```bash

Security note: treat plugin installs like running code. Prefer pinned versions.
|
||||
|

Supported archives: `.zip`, `.tgz`, `.tar.gz`, `.tar`.
|
||||
|
||||
Use `--link` to avoid copying a local directory (adds to `plugins.load.paths`):
|
||||
|
||||
```bash

openclaw plugins install -l ./my-plugin

# Sandbox CLI
|
||||
|
||||
Manage Docker-based sandbox containers for isolated agent execution.
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
OpenClaw can run agents in isolated Docker containers for security. The `sandbox` commands help you manage these containers, especially after updates or configuration changes.
|
||||
|
||||
## Commands
|
||||
|
||||
### `openclaw sandbox explain`
|
||||
|
||||
Inspect the **effective** sandbox mode/scope/workspace access, sandbox tool policy, and elevated gates (with fix-it config key paths).
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw sandbox explain
|
||||
openclaw sandbox explain --session agent:main:main
|
||||
openclaw sandbox explain --agent work
|
||||
openclaw sandbox explain --json
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### `openclaw sandbox list`
|
||||
|
||||
List all sandbox containers with their status and configuration.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw sandbox list
|
||||
openclaw sandbox list --browser # List only browser containers
|
||||
openclaw sandbox list --json # JSON output
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Output includes:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Container name and status (running/stopped)
|
||||
- Docker image and whether it matches config
|
||||
- Age (time since creation)
|
||||
- Idle time (time since last use)
|
||||
- Associated session/agent
|
||||
|
||||
### `openclaw sandbox recreate`
|
||||
|
||||
Remove sandbox containers to force recreation with updated images/config.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw sandbox recreate --all # Recreate all containers
|
||||
openclaw sandbox recreate --session main # Specific session
|
||||
openclaw sandbox recreate --agent mybot # Specific agent
|
||||
openclaw sandbox recreate --browser # Only browser containers
|
||||
openclaw sandbox recreate --all --force # Skip confirmation
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Options:**
|
||||
|
||||
- `--all`: Recreate all sandbox containers
|
||||
- `--session <key>`: Recreate container for specific session
|
||||
- `--agent <id>`: Recreate containers for specific agent
|
||||
- `--browser`: Only recreate browser containers
|
||||
- `--force`: Skip confirmation prompt
|
||||
|
||||
**Important:** Containers are automatically recreated when the agent is next used.
|
||||
|
||||
## Use Cases
|
||||
|
||||
### After updating Docker images
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Pull new image
|
||||
docker pull openclaw-sandbox:latest
|
||||
docker tag openclaw-sandbox:latest openclaw-sandbox:bookworm-slim
|
||||
|
||||
# Update config to use new image
|
||||
# Edit config: agents.defaults.sandbox.docker.image (or agents.list[].sandbox.docker.image)
|
||||
|
||||
# Recreate containers
|
||||
openclaw sandbox recreate --all
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### After changing sandbox configuration
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Edit config: agents.defaults.sandbox.* (or agents.list[].sandbox.*)
|
||||
|
||||
# Recreate to apply new config
|
||||
openclaw sandbox recreate --all
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### After changing setupCommand
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw sandbox recreate --all
|
||||
# or just one agent:
|
||||
openclaw sandbox recreate --agent family
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### For a specific agent only
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Update only one agent's containers
|
||||
openclaw sandbox recreate --agent alfred
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Why is this needed?
|
||||
|
||||
**Problem:** When you update sandbox Docker images or configuration:
|
||||
|
||||
- Existing containers continue running with old settings
|
||||
- Containers are only pruned after 24h of inactivity
|
||||
- Regularly-used agents keep old containers running indefinitely
|
||||
|
||||
**Solution:** Use `openclaw sandbox recreate` to force removal of old containers. They'll be recreated automatically with current settings when next needed.
|
||||
|
||||
Tip: prefer `openclaw sandbox recreate` over manual `docker rm`. It uses the
|
||||
Gateway’s container naming and avoids mismatches when scope/session keys change.
|
||||
|
||||
## Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
Sandbox settings live in `~/.openclaw/openclaw.json` under `agents.defaults.sandbox` (per-agent overrides go in `agents.list[].sandbox`):
|
||||
|
||||
```jsonc
|
||||
{
|
||||
"agents": {
|
||||
"defaults": {
|
||||
"sandbox": {
|
||||
"mode": "all", // off, non-main, all
|
||||
"scope": "agent", // session, agent, shared
|
||||
"docker": {
|
||||
"image": "openclaw-sandbox:bookworm-slim",
|
||||
"containerPrefix": "openclaw-sbx-",
|
||||
// ... more Docker options
|
||||
},
|
||||
"prune": {
|
||||
"idleHours": 24, // Auto-prune after 24h idle
|
||||
"maxAgeDays": 7, // Auto-prune after 7 days
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```

The audit warns when multiple DM senders share the main session and recommends **secure DM mode**: `session.dmScope="per-channel-peer"` (or `per-account-channel-peer` for multi-account channels) for shared inboxes.
|
||||
It also warns when small models (`<=300B`) are used without sandboxing and with web/browser tools enabled.

|
||||
|

## `system event`
|
||||
|
||||
Enqueue a system event on the **main** session. The next heartbeat will inject
|
||||
it as a `System:` line in the prompt. Use `--mode now` to trigger the heartbeat
|
||||
immediately; `next-heartbeat` waits for the next scheduled tick.

||||
- `--mode <mode>`: `now` or `next-heartbeat` (default).
|
||||
- `--json`: machine-readable output.
|
||||
|
||||
## `system heartbeat last|enable|disable`
|
||||
|
||||
Heartbeat controls:
|
||||
|
||||
- `last`: show the last heartbeat event.
|
||||
- `enable`: turn heartbeats back on (use this if they were disabled).
|
||||
- `disable`: pause heartbeats.
|
||||
|
||||
Flags:
|
||||
|
||||
- `--json`: machine-readable output.
|
||||
|
||||
## `system presence`
|
||||
|
||||
List the current system presence entries the Gateway knows about (nodes,
|
||||
instances, and similar status lines).
|
||||
|
||||
Flags:

- `--json`: machine-readable output.
|

# `openclaw update`
|
||||
|
||||
Safely update OpenClaw and switch between stable/beta/dev channels.
|
||||
|
||||
If you installed via **npm/pnpm** (global install, no git metadata), updates happen via the package manager flow in [Updating](/install/updating).
|
||||
|
||||
## Usage
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw update
|
||||
openclaw update status
|
||||
openclaw update wizard
|
||||
openclaw update --channel beta
|
||||
openclaw update --channel dev
|
||||
openclaw update --tag beta
|
||||
openclaw update --no-restart
|
||||
openclaw update --json
|
||||
openclaw --update
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Options
|
||||
|
||||
- `--no-restart`: skip restarting the Gateway service after a successful update.
|
||||
- `--channel <stable|beta|dev>`: set the update channel (git + npm; persisted in config).
|
||||
- `--tag <dist-tag|version>`: override the npm dist-tag or version for this update only.
|
||||
- `--json`: print machine-readable `UpdateRunResult` JSON.
|
||||
- `--timeout <seconds>`: per-step timeout (default is 1200s).
|
||||
|
||||
Note: downgrades require confirmation because older versions can break configuration.
|
||||
|
||||
## `update status`
|
||||
|
||||
Show the active update channel + git tag/branch/SHA (for source checkouts), plus update availability.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw update status
|
||||
openclaw update status --json
|
||||
openclaw update status --timeout 10
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Options:
|
||||
|
||||
- `--json`: print machine-readable status JSON.
|
||||
- `--timeout <seconds>`: timeout for checks (default is 3s).
|
||||
|
||||
## `update wizard`
|
||||
|
||||
Interactive flow to pick an update channel and confirm whether to restart the Gateway
|
||||
after updating (default is to restart). If you select `dev` without a git checkout, it
|
||||
offers to create one.
|
||||
|
||||
## What it does
|
||||
|
||||
When you switch channels explicitly (`--channel ...`), OpenClaw also keeps the
|
||||
install method aligned:
|
||||
|
||||
- `dev` → ensures a git checkout (default: `~/openclaw`, override with `OPENCLAW_GIT_DIR`),
|
||||
updates it, and installs the global CLI from that checkout.
|
||||
- `stable`/`beta` → installs from npm using the matching dist-tag.
|
||||
|
||||
## Git checkout flow
|
||||
|
||||
Channels:
|
||||
|
||||
- `stable`: checkout the latest non-beta tag, then build + doctor.
|
||||
- `beta`: checkout the latest `-beta` tag, then build + doctor.
|
||||
- `dev`: checkout `main`, then fetch + rebase.
|
||||
|
||||
High-level:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Requires a clean worktree (no uncommitted changes).
|
||||
2. Switches to the selected channel (tag or branch).
|
||||
3. Fetches upstream (dev only).
|
||||
4. Dev only: preflight lint + TypeScript build in a temp worktree; if the tip fails, walks back up to 10 commits to find the newest clean build.
|
||||
5. Rebases onto the selected commit (dev only).
|
||||
6. Installs deps (pnpm preferred; npm fallback).
|
||||
7. Builds + builds the Control UI.
|
||||
8. Runs `openclaw doctor` as the final “safe update” check.
|
||||
9. Syncs plugins to the active channel (dev uses bundled extensions; stable/beta uses npm) and updates npm-installed plugins.
|
||||
|
||||
## `--update` shorthand
|
||||
|
||||
`openclaw --update` rewrites to `openclaw update` (useful for shells and launcher scripts).

|

title: "Agent Loop"

|

# Agent Loop (OpenClaw)
|
||||
|
||||
An agentic loop is the full “real” run of an agent: intake → context assembly → model inference →
|
||||
tool execution → streaming replies → persistence. It’s the authoritative path that turns a message
|
||||
into actions and a final reply, while keeping session state consistent.
|
||||
|
||||
In OpenClaw, a loop is a single, serialized run per session that emits lifecycle and stream events
|
||||
as the model thinks, calls tools, and streams output. This doc explains how that authentic loop is
|
||||
wired end-to-end.
|
||||
|
||||
## Entry points
|
||||
|
||||
- Gateway RPC: `agent` and `agent.wait`.
|
||||
- CLI: `agent` command.
|
||||
|
||||
## How it works (high-level)
|
||||
|
||||
1. `agent` RPC validates params, resolves session (sessionKey/sessionId), persists session metadata, returns `{ runId, acceptedAt }` immediately.
|
||||
2. `agentCommand` runs the agent:
|
||||
- resolves model + thinking/verbose defaults
|
||||
- loads skills snapshot
|
||||
- calls `runEmbeddedPiAgent` (pi-agent-core runtime)
|
||||
- emits **lifecycle end/error** if the embedded loop does not emit one
|
||||
3. `runEmbeddedPiAgent`:
|
||||
- serializes runs via per-session + global queues
|
||||
- resolves model + auth profile and builds the pi session
|
||||
- subscribes to pi events and streams assistant/tool deltas
|
||||
- enforces timeout -> aborts run if exceeded
|
||||
- returns payloads + usage metadata
|
||||
4. `subscribeEmbeddedPiSession` bridges pi-agent-core events to OpenClaw `agent` stream:
|
||||
- tool events => `stream: "tool"`
|
||||
- assistant deltas => `stream: "assistant"`
|
||||
- lifecycle events => `stream: "lifecycle"` (`phase: "start" | "end" | "error"`)
|
||||
5. `agent.wait` uses `waitForAgentJob`:
|
||||
- waits for **lifecycle end/error** for `runId`
|
||||
- returns `{ status: ok|error|timeout, startedAt, endedAt, error? }`
|
||||
|
||||
## Queueing + concurrency
|
||||
|
||||
- Runs are serialized per session key (session lane) and optionally through a global lane.
|
||||
- This prevents tool/session races and keeps session history consistent.
|
||||
- Messaging channels can choose queue modes (collect/steer/followup) that feed this lane system.
|
||||
See [Command Queue](/concepts/queue).
|
||||
|
||||
## Session + workspace preparation
|
||||
|
||||
- Workspace is resolved and created; sandboxed runs may redirect to a sandbox workspace root.
|
||||
- Skills are loaded (or reused from a snapshot) and injected into env and prompt.
|
||||
- Bootstrap/context files are resolved and injected into the system prompt report.
|
||||
- A session write lock is acquired; `SessionManager` is opened and prepared before streaming.
|
||||
|
||||
## Prompt assembly + system prompt
|
||||
|
||||
- System prompt is built from OpenClaw’s base prompt, skills prompt, bootstrap context, and per-run overrides.
|
||||
- Model-specific limits and compaction reserve tokens are enforced.
|
||||
- See [System prompt](/concepts/system-prompt) for what the model sees.
|
||||
|
||||
## Hook points (where you can intercept)
|
||||
|
||||
OpenClaw has two hook systems:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Internal hooks** (Gateway hooks): event-driven scripts for commands and lifecycle events.
|
||||
- **Plugin hooks**: extension points inside the agent/tool lifecycle and gateway pipeline.
|
||||
|
||||
### Internal hooks (Gateway hooks)
|
||||
|
||||
- **`agent:bootstrap`**: runs while building bootstrap files before the system prompt is finalized.
|
||||
Use this to add/remove bootstrap context files.
|
||||
- **Command hooks**: `/new`, `/reset`, `/stop`, and other command events (see Hooks doc).
|
||||
|
||||
See [Hooks](/hooks) for setup and examples.
|
||||
|
||||
### Plugin hooks (agent + gateway lifecycle)
|
||||
|
||||
These run inside the agent loop or gateway pipeline:
|
||||
|
||||
- **`before_agent_start`**: inject context or override system prompt before the run starts.
|
||||
- **`agent_end`**: inspect the final message list and run metadata after completion.
|
||||
- **`before_compaction` / `after_compaction`**: observe or annotate compaction cycles.
|
||||
- **`before_tool_call` / `after_tool_call`**: intercept tool params/results.
|
||||
- **`tool_result_persist`**: synchronously transform tool results before they are written to the session transcript.
|
||||
- **`message_received` / `message_sending` / `message_sent`**: inbound + outbound message hooks.
|
||||
- **`session_start` / `session_end`**: session lifecycle boundaries.
|
||||
- **`gateway_start` / `gateway_stop`**: gateway lifecycle events.
|
||||
|
||||
See [Plugins](/plugin#plugin-hooks) for the hook API and registration details.
|
||||
|
||||
## Streaming + partial replies
|
||||
|
||||
- Assistant deltas are streamed from pi-agent-core and emitted as `assistant` events.
|
||||
- Block streaming can emit partial replies either on `text_end` or `message_end`.
|
||||
- Reasoning streaming can be emitted as a separate stream or as block replies.
|
||||
- See [Streaming](/concepts/streaming) for chunking and block reply behavior.
|
||||
|
||||
## Tool execution + messaging tools
|
||||
|
||||
- Tool start/update/end events are emitted on the `tool` stream.
|
||||
- Tool results are sanitized for size and image payloads before logging/emitting.
|
||||
- Messaging tool sends are tracked to suppress duplicate assistant confirmations.
|
||||
|
||||
## Reply shaping + suppression
|
||||
|
||||
- Final payloads are assembled from:
|
||||
- assistant text (and optional reasoning)
|
||||
- inline tool summaries (when verbose + allowed)
|
||||
- assistant error text when the model errors
|
||||
- `NO_REPLY` is treated as a silent token and filtered from outgoing payloads.
|
||||
- Messaging tool duplicates are removed from the final payload list.
|
||||
- If no renderable payloads remain and a tool errored, a fallback tool error reply is emitted
|
||||
(unless a messaging tool already sent a user-visible reply).
|
||||
|
||||
## Compaction + retries
|
||||
|
||||
- Auto-compaction emits `compaction` stream events and can trigger a retry.
|
||||
- On retry, in-memory buffers and tool summaries are reset to avoid duplicate output.
|
||||
- See [Compaction](/concepts/compaction) for the compaction pipeline.
|
||||
|
||||
## Event streams (today)
|
||||
|
||||
- `lifecycle`: emitted by `subscribeEmbeddedPiSession` (and as a fallback by `agentCommand`)
|
||||
- `assistant`: streamed deltas from pi-agent-core
|
||||
- `tool`: streamed tool events from pi-agent-core
|
||||
|
||||
## Chat channel handling
|
||||
|
||||
- Assistant deltas are buffered into chat `delta` messages.
|
||||
- A chat `final` is emitted on **lifecycle end/error**.
|
||||
|
||||
## Timeouts
|
||||
|
||||
- `agent.wait` default: 30s (just the wait). `timeoutMs` param overrides.
|
||||
- Agent runtime: `agents.defaults.timeoutSeconds` default 600s; enforced in `runEmbeddedPiAgent` abort timer.
|
||||
|
||||
## Where things can end early
|
||||
|
||||
- Agent timeout (abort)
|
||||
- AbortSignal (cancel)
|
||||
- Gateway disconnect or RPC timeout
|
||||
- `agent.wait` timeout (wait-only, does not stop agent)

|

# Agent workspace
|
||||
|
||||
The workspace is the agent's home. It is the only working directory used for
|
||||
file tools and for workspace context. Keep it private and treat it as memory.
|
||||
|
||||
This is separate from `~/.openclaw/`, which stores config, credentials, and
|
||||
sessions.
|
||||
|
||||
**Important:** the workspace is the **default cwd**, not a hard sandbox. Tools
|
||||
resolve relative paths against the workspace, but absolute paths can still reach
|
||||
elsewhere on the host unless sandboxing is enabled. If you need isolation, use
|
||||
[`agents.defaults.sandbox`](/gateway/sandboxing) (and/or per‑agent sandbox config).
|
||||
When sandboxing is enabled and `workspaceAccess` is not `"rw"`, tools operate
|
||||
inside a sandbox workspace under `~/.openclaw/sandboxes`, not your host workspace.
|
||||
|
||||
## Default location
|
||||
|
||||
- Default: `~/.openclaw/workspace`
|
||||
- If `OPENCLAW_PROFILE` is set and not `"default"`, the default becomes
|
||||
`~/.openclaw/workspace-<profile>`.
|
||||
- Override in `~/.openclaw/openclaw.json`:
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
agent: {
|
||||
workspace: "~/.openclaw/workspace",
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`openclaw onboard`, `openclaw configure`, or `openclaw setup` will create the
|
||||
workspace and seed the bootstrap files if they are missing.
|
||||
|
||||
If you already manage the workspace files yourself, you can disable bootstrap
|
||||
file creation:
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{ agent: { skipBootstrap: true } }
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Extra workspace folders
|
||||
|
||||
Older installs may have created `~/openclaw`. Keeping multiple workspace
|
||||
directories around can cause confusing auth or state drift, because only one
|
||||
workspace is active at a time.
|
||||
|
||||
**Recommendation:** keep a single active workspace. If you no longer use the
|
||||
extra folders, archive or move them to Trash (for example `trash ~/openclaw`).
|
||||
If you intentionally keep multiple workspaces, make sure
|
||||
`agents.defaults.workspace` points to the active one.
|
||||
|
||||
`openclaw doctor` warns when it detects extra workspace directories.
|
||||
|
||||
## Workspace file map (what each file means)
|
||||
|
||||
These are the standard files OpenClaw expects inside the workspace:
|
||||
|
||||
- `AGENTS.md`
|
||||
- Operating instructions for the agent and how it should use memory.
|
||||
- Loaded at the start of every session.
|
||||
- Good place for rules, priorities, and "how to behave" details.
|
||||
|
||||
- `SOUL.md`
|
||||
- Persona, tone, and boundaries.
|
||||
- Loaded every session.
|
||||
|
||||
- `USER.md`
|
||||
- Who the user is and how to address them.
|
||||
- Loaded every session.
|
||||
|
||||
- `IDENTITY.md`
|
||||
- The agent's name, vibe, and emoji.
|
||||
- Created/updated during the bootstrap ritual.
|
||||
|
||||
- `TOOLS.md`
|
||||
- Notes about your local tools and conventions.
|
||||
- Does not control tool availability; it is only guidance.
|
||||
|
||||
- `HEARTBEAT.md`
|
||||
- Optional tiny checklist for heartbeat runs.
|
||||
- Keep it short to avoid token burn.
|
||||
|
||||
- `BOOT.md`
|
||||
- Optional startup checklist executed on gateway restart when internal hooks are enabled.
|
||||
- Keep it short; use the message tool for outbound sends.
|
||||
|
||||
- `BOOTSTRAP.md`
|
||||
- One-time first-run ritual.
|
||||
- Only created for a brand-new workspace.
|
||||
- Delete it after the ritual is complete.
|
||||
|
||||
- `memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md`
|
||||
- Daily memory log (one file per day).
|
||||
- Recommended to read today + yesterday on session start.
|
||||
|
||||
- `MEMORY.md` (optional)
|
||||
- Curated long-term memory.
|
||||
- Only load in the main, private session (not shared/group contexts).
|
||||
|
||||
See [Memory](/concepts/memory) for the workflow and automatic memory flush.
|
||||
|
||||
- `skills/` (optional)
|
||||
- Workspace-specific skills.
|
||||
- Overrides managed/bundled skills when names collide.
|
||||
|
||||
- `canvas/` (optional)
|
||||
- Canvas UI files for node displays (for example `canvas/index.html`).
|
||||
|
||||
If any bootstrap file is missing, OpenClaw injects a "missing file" marker into
|
||||
the session and continues. Large bootstrap files are truncated when injected;
|
||||
adjust the limit with `agents.defaults.bootstrapMaxChars` (default: 20000).
|
||||
`openclaw setup` can recreate missing defaults without overwriting existing
|
||||
files.
|
||||
|
||||
## What is NOT in the workspace
|
||||
|
||||
These live under `~/.openclaw/` and should NOT be committed to the workspace repo:
|
||||
|
||||
- `~/.openclaw/openclaw.json` (config)
|
||||
- `~/.openclaw/credentials/` (OAuth tokens, API keys)
|
||||
- `~/.openclaw/agents/<agentId>/sessions/` (session transcripts + metadata)
|
||||
- `~/.openclaw/skills/` (managed skills)
|
||||
|
||||
If you need to migrate sessions or config, copy them separately and keep them
|
||||
out of version control.
|
||||
|
||||
## Git backup (recommended, private)
|
||||
|
||||
Treat the workspace as private memory. Put it in a **private** git repo so it is
|
||||
backed up and recoverable.
|
||||
|
||||
Run these steps on the machine where the Gateway runs (that is where the
|
||||
workspace lives).
|
||||
|
||||
### 1) Initialize the repo
|
||||
|
||||
If git is installed, brand-new workspaces are initialized automatically. If this
|
||||
workspace is not already a repo, run:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cd ~/.openclaw/workspace
|
||||
git init
|
||||
git add AGENTS.md SOUL.md TOOLS.md IDENTITY.md USER.md HEARTBEAT.md memory/
|
||||
git commit -m "Add agent workspace"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 2) Add a private remote (beginner-friendly options)
|
||||
|
||||
Option A: GitHub web UI
|
||||
|
||||
1. Create a new **private** repository on GitHub.
|
||||
2. Do not initialize with a README (avoids merge conflicts).
|
||||
3. Copy the HTTPS remote URL.
|
||||
4. Add the remote and push:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
git branch -M main
|
||||
git remote add origin <https-url>
|
||||
git push -u origin main
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Option B: GitHub CLI (`gh`)
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
gh auth login
|
||||
gh repo create openclaw-workspace --private --source . --remote origin --push
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Option C: GitLab web UI
|
||||
|
||||
1. Create a new **private** repository on GitLab.
|
||||
2. Do not initialize with a README (avoids merge conflicts).
|
||||
3. Copy the HTTPS remote URL.
|
||||
4. Add the remote and push:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
git branch -M main
|
||||
git remote add origin <https-url>
|
||||
git push -u origin main
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 3) Ongoing updates
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
git status
|
||||
git add .
|
||||
git commit -m "Update memory"
|
||||
git push
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Do not commit secrets
|
||||
|
||||
Even in a private repo, avoid storing secrets in the workspace:
|
||||
|
||||
- API keys, OAuth tokens, passwords, or private credentials.
|
||||
- Anything under `~/.openclaw/`.
|
||||
- Raw dumps of chats or sensitive attachments.
|
||||
|
||||
If you must store sensitive references, use placeholders and keep the real
|
||||
secret elsewhere (password manager, environment variables, or `~/.openclaw/`).
|
||||
|
||||
Suggested `.gitignore` starter:
|
||||
|
||||
```gitignore
|
||||
.DS_Store
|
||||
.env
|
||||
**/*.key
|
||||
**/*.pem
|
||||
**/secrets*
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Moving the workspace to a new machine
|
||||
|
||||
1. Clone the repo to the desired path (default `~/.openclaw/workspace`).
|
||||
2. Set `agents.defaults.workspace` to that path in `~/.openclaw/openclaw.json`.
|
||||
3. Run `openclaw setup --workspace <path>` to seed any missing files.
|
||||
4. If you need sessions, copy `~/.openclaw/agents/<agentId>/sessions/` from the
|
||||
old machine separately.
|
||||
|
||||
## Advanced notes
|
||||
|
||||
- Multi-agent routing can use different workspaces per agent. See
|
||||
[Channel routing](/concepts/channel-routing) for routing configuration.
|
||||
- If `agents.defaults.sandbox` is enabled, non-main sessions can use per-session sandbox
|
||||
workspaces under `agents.defaults.sandbox.workspaceRoot`.

# Agent Runtime 🤖
|
||||
|
||||
OpenClaw runs a single embedded agent runtime derived from **pi-mono**.
|
||||
|
||||
## Workspace (required)
|
||||
|
||||
OpenClaw uses a single agent workspace directory (`agents.defaults.workspace`) as the agent’s **only** working directory (`cwd`) for tools and context.
|
||||
|
||||
Recommended: use `openclaw setup` to create `~/.openclaw/openclaw.json` if missing and initialize the workspace files.
|
||||
|
||||
Full workspace layout + backup guide: [Agent workspace](/concepts/agent-workspace)
|
||||
|
||||
If `agents.defaults.sandbox` is enabled, non-main sessions can override this with
|
||||
per-session workspaces under `agents.defaults.sandbox.workspaceRoot` (see
|
||||
[Gateway configuration](/gateway/configuration)).
|
||||
|
||||
## Bootstrap files (injected)
|
||||
|
||||
Inside `agents.defaults.workspace`, OpenClaw expects these user-editable files:
|
||||
|
||||
- `AGENTS.md` — operating instructions + “memory”
|
||||
- `SOUL.md` — persona, boundaries, tone
|
||||
- `TOOLS.md` — user-maintained tool notes (e.g. `imsg`, `sag`, conventions)
|
||||
- `BOOTSTRAP.md` — one-time first-run ritual (deleted after completion)
|
||||
- `IDENTITY.md` — agent name/vibe/emoji
|
||||
- `USER.md` — user profile + preferred address
|
||||
|
||||
On the first turn of a new session, OpenClaw injects the contents of these files directly into the agent context.
|
||||
|
||||
Blank files are skipped. Large files are trimmed and truncated with a marker so prompts stay lean (read the file for full content).
|
||||
|
||||
If a file is missing, OpenClaw injects a single “missing file” marker line (and `openclaw setup` will create a safe default template).
|
||||
|
||||
`BOOTSTRAP.md` is only created for a **brand new workspace** (no other bootstrap files present). If you delete it after completing the ritual, it should not be recreated on later restarts.
|
||||
|
||||
To disable bootstrap file creation entirely (for pre-seeded workspaces), set:
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{ agent: { skipBootstrap: true } }
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Built-in tools
|
||||
|
||||
Core tools (read/exec/edit/write and related system tools) are always available,
|
||||
subject to tool policy. `apply_patch` is optional and gated by
|
||||
`tools.exec.applyPatch`. `TOOLS.md` does **not** control which tools exist; it’s
|
||||
guidance for how _you_ want them used.
|
||||
|
||||
## Skills
|
||||
|
||||
OpenClaw loads skills from three locations (workspace wins on name conflict):
|
||||
|
||||
- Bundled (shipped with the install)
|
||||
- Managed/local: `~/.openclaw/skills`
|
||||
- Workspace: `<workspace>/skills`
|
||||
|
||||
Skills can be gated by config/env (see `skills` in [Gateway configuration](/gateway/configuration)).
|
||||
|
||||
## pi-mono integration
|
||||
|
||||
OpenClaw reuses pieces of the pi-mono codebase (models/tools), but **session management, discovery, and tool wiring are OpenClaw-owned**.
|
||||
|
||||
- No pi-coding agent runtime.
|
||||
- No `~/.pi/agent` or `<workspace>/.pi` settings are consulted.
|
||||
|
||||
## Sessions
|
||||
|
||||
Session transcripts are stored as JSONL at:
|
||||
|
||||
- `~/.openclaw/agents/<agentId>/sessions/<SessionId>.jsonl`
|
||||
|
||||
The session ID is stable and chosen by OpenClaw.
|
||||
Legacy Pi/Tau session folders are **not** read.
|
||||
|
||||
## Steering while streaming
|
||||
|
||||
When queue mode is `steer`, inbound messages are injected into the current run.
|
||||
The queue is checked **after each tool call**; if a queued message is present,
|
||||
remaining tool calls from the current assistant message are skipped (error tool
|
||||
results with "Skipped due to queued user message."), then the queued user
|
||||
message is injected before the next assistant response.
|
||||
|
||||
When queue mode is `followup` or `collect`, inbound messages are held until the
|
||||
current turn ends, then a new agent turn starts with the queued payloads. See
|
||||
[Queue](/concepts/queue) for mode + debounce/cap behavior.
|
||||
|
||||
Block streaming sends completed assistant blocks as soon as they finish; it is
|
||||
**off by default** (`agents.defaults.blockStreamingDefault: "off"`).
|
||||
Tune the boundary via `agents.defaults.blockStreamingBreak` (`text_end` vs `message_end`; defaults to text_end).
|
||||
Control soft block chunking with `agents.defaults.blockStreamingChunk` (defaults to
|
||||
800–1200 chars; prefers paragraph breaks, then newlines; sentences last).
|
||||
Coalesce streamed chunks with `agents.defaults.blockStreamingCoalesce` to reduce
|
||||
single-line spam (idle-based merging before send). Non-Telegram channels require
|
||||
explicit `*.blockStreaming: true` to enable block replies.
|
||||
Verbose tool summaries are emitted at tool start (no debounce); Control UI
|
||||
streams tool output via agent events when available.
|
||||
More details: [Streaming + chunking](/concepts/streaming).
|
||||
|
||||
## Model refs
|
||||
|
||||
Model refs in config (for example `agents.defaults.model` and `agents.defaults.models`) are parsed by splitting on the **first** `/`.
|
||||
|
||||
- Use `provider/model` when configuring models.
|
||||
- If the model ID itself contains `/` (OpenRouter-style), include the provider prefix (example: `openrouter/moonshotai/kimi-k2`).
|
||||
- If you omit the provider, OpenClaw treats the input as an alias or a model for the **default provider** (only works when there is no `/` in the model ID).
|
||||
|
||||
## Configuration (minimal)
|
||||
|
||||
At minimum, set:
|
||||
|
||||
- `agents.defaults.workspace`
|
||||
- `channels.whatsapp.allowFrom` (strongly recommended)

# Gateway architecture
|
||||
|
||||
Last updated: 2026-01-22
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
- A single long‑lived **Gateway** owns all messaging surfaces (WhatsApp via
|
||||
Baileys, Telegram via grammY, Slack, Discord, Signal, iMessage, WebChat).
|
||||
- Control-plane clients (macOS app, CLI, web UI, automations) connect to the
|
||||
Gateway over **WebSocket** on the configured bind host (default
|
||||
`127.0.0.1:18789`).
|
||||
- **Nodes** (macOS/iOS/Android/headless) also connect over **WebSocket**, but
|
||||
declare `role: node` with explicit caps/commands.
|
||||
- One Gateway per host; it is the only place that opens a WhatsApp session.
|
||||
- A **canvas host** (default `18793`) serves agent‑editable HTML and A2UI.
|
||||
|
||||
## Components and flows
|
||||
|
||||
### Gateway (daemon)
|
||||
|
||||
- Maintains provider connections.
|
||||
- Exposes a typed WS API (requests, responses, server‑push events).
|
||||
- Validates inbound frames against JSON Schema.
|
||||
- Emits events like `agent`, `chat`, `presence`, `health`, `heartbeat`, `cron`.
|
||||
|
||||
### Clients (mac app / CLI / web admin)
|
||||
|
||||
- One WS connection per client.
|
||||
- Send requests (`health`, `status`, `send`, `agent`, `system-presence`).
|
||||
- Subscribe to events (`tick`, `agent`, `presence`, `shutdown`).
|
||||
|
||||
### Nodes (macOS / iOS / Android / headless)
|
||||
|
||||
- Connect to the **same WS server** with `role: node`.
|
||||
- Provide a device identity in `connect`; pairing is **device‑based** (role `node`) and
|
||||
approval lives in the device pairing store.
|
||||
- Expose commands like `canvas.*`, `camera.*`, `screen.record`, `location.get`.
|
||||
|
||||
Protocol details:
|
||||
|
||||
- [Gateway protocol](/gateway/protocol)
|
||||
|
||||
### WebChat
|
||||
|
||||
- Static UI that uses the Gateway WS API for chat history and sends.
|
||||
- In remote setups, connects through the same SSH/Tailscale tunnel as other
|
||||
clients.
|
||||
|
||||
## Connection lifecycle (single client)
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Client Gateway
|
||||
| |
|
||||
|---- req:connect -------->|
|
||||
|<------ res (ok) ---------| (or res error + close)
|
||||
| (payload=hello-ok carries snapshot: presence + health)
|
||||
| |
|
||||
|<------ event:presence ---|
|
||||
|<------ event:tick -------|
|
||||
| |
|
||||
|------- req:agent ------->|
|
||||
|<------ res:agent --------| (ack: {runId,status:"accepted"})
|
||||
|<------ event:agent ------| (streaming)
|
||||
|<------ res:agent --------| (final: {runId,status,summary})
|
||||
| |
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Wire protocol (summary)
|
||||
|
||||
- Transport: WebSocket, text frames with JSON payloads.
|
||||
- First frame **must** be `connect`.
|
||||
- After handshake:
|
||||
- Requests: `{type:"req", id, method, params}` → `{type:"res", id, ok, payload|error}`
|
||||
- Events: `{type:"event", event, payload, seq?, stateVersion?}`
|
||||
- If `OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_TOKEN` (or `--token`) is set, `connect.params.auth.token`
|
||||
must match or the socket closes.
|
||||
- Idempotency keys are required for side‑effecting methods (`send`, `agent`) to
|
||||
safely retry; the server keeps a short‑lived dedupe cache.
|
||||
- Nodes must include `role: "node"` plus caps/commands/permissions in `connect`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Pairing + local trust
|
||||
|
||||
- All WS clients (operators + nodes) include a **device identity** on `connect`.
|
||||
- New device IDs require pairing approval; the Gateway issues a **device token**
|
||||
for subsequent connects.
|
||||
- **Local** connects (loopback or the gateway host’s own tailnet address) can be
|
||||
auto‑approved to keep same‑host UX smooth.
|
||||
- **Non‑local** connects must sign the `connect.challenge` nonce and require
|
||||
explicit approval.
|
||||
- Gateway auth (`gateway.auth.*`) still applies to **all** connections, local or
|
||||
remote.
|
||||
|
||||
Details: [Gateway protocol](/gateway/protocol), [Pairing](/start/pairing),
|
||||
[Security](/gateway/security).
|
||||
|
||||
## Protocol typing and codegen
|
||||
|
||||
- TypeBox schemas define the protocol.
|
||||
- JSON Schema is generated from those schemas.
|
||||
- Swift models are generated from the JSON Schema.
|
||||
|
||||
## Remote access
|
||||
|
||||
- Preferred: Tailscale or VPN.
|
||||
- Alternative: SSH tunnel
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
ssh -N -L 18789:127.0.0.1:18789 user@host
|
||||
```
|
||||
- The same handshake + auth token apply over the tunnel.
|
||||
- TLS + optional pinning can be enabled for WS in remote setups.
|
||||
|
||||
## Operations snapshot
|
||||
|
||||
- Start: `openclaw gateway` (foreground, logs to stdout).
|
||||
- Health: `health` over WS (also included in `hello-ok`).
|
||||
- Supervision: launchd/systemd for auto‑restart.
|
||||
|
||||
## Invariants
|
||||
|
||||
- Exactly one Gateway controls a single Baileys session per host.
|
||||
- Handshake is mandatory; any non‑JSON or non‑connect first frame is a hard close.
|
||||
- Events are not replayed; clients must refresh on gaps.

|
||||
title: "Channel Routing"

|
||||
|
||||
# Channels & routing
|
||||
|
||||
OpenClaw routes replies **back to the channel where a message came from**. The
|
||||
model does not choose a channel; routing is deterministic and controlled by the
|
||||
host configuration.
|
||||
|
||||
## Key terms
|
||||
|
||||
- **Channel**: `whatsapp`, `telegram`, `discord`, `slack`, `signal`, `imessage`, `webchat`.
|
||||
- **AccountId**: per‑channel account instance (when supported).
|
||||
- **AgentId**: an isolated workspace + session store (“brain”).
|
||||
- **SessionKey**: the bucket key used to store context and control concurrency.
|
||||
|
||||
## Session key shapes (examples)
|
||||
|
||||
Direct messages collapse to the agent’s **main** session:
|
||||
|
||||
- `agent:<agentId>:<mainKey>` (default: `agent:main:main`)
|
||||
|
||||
Groups and channels remain isolated per channel:
|
||||
|
||||
- Groups: `agent:<agentId>:<channel>:group:<id>`
|
||||
- Channels/rooms: `agent:<agentId>:<channel>:channel:<id>`
|
||||
|
||||
Threads:
|
||||
|
||||
- Slack/Discord threads append `:thread:<threadId>` to the base key.
|
||||
- Telegram forum topics embed `:topic:<topicId>` in the group key.
|
||||
|
||||
Examples:
|
||||
|
||||
- `agent:main:telegram:group:-1001234567890:topic:42`
|
||||
- `agent:main:discord:channel:123456:thread:987654`
|
||||
|
||||
## Routing rules (how an agent is chosen)
|
||||
|
||||
Routing picks **one agent** for each inbound message:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Exact peer match** (`bindings` with `peer.kind` + `peer.id`).
|
||||
2. **Guild match** (Discord) via `guildId`.
|
||||
3. **Team match** (Slack) via `teamId`.
|
||||
4. **Account match** (`accountId` on the channel).
|
||||
5. **Channel match** (any account on that channel).
|
||||
6. **Default agent** (`agents.list[].default`, else first list entry, fallback to `main`).
|
||||
|
||||
The matched agent determines which workspace and session store are used.
|
||||
|
||||
## Broadcast groups (run multiple agents)
|
||||
|
||||
Broadcast groups let you run **multiple agents** for the same peer **when OpenClaw would normally reply** (for example: in WhatsApp groups, after mention/activation gating).
|
||||
|
||||
Config:
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
broadcast: {
|
||||
strategy: "parallel",
|
||||
"120363403215116621@g.us": ["alfred", "baerbel"],
|
||||
"+15555550123": ["support", "logger"],
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
See: [Broadcast Groups](/broadcast-groups).
|
||||
|
||||
## Config overview
|
||||
|
||||
- `agents.list`: named agent definitions (workspace, model, etc.).
|
||||
- `bindings`: map inbound channels/accounts/peers to agents.
|
||||
|
||||
Example:
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
agents: {
|
||||
list: [{ id: "support", name: "Support", workspace: "~/.openclaw/workspace-support" }],
|
||||
},
|
||||
bindings: [
|
||||
{ match: { channel: "slack", teamId: "T123" }, agentId: "support" },
|
||||
{ match: { channel: "telegram", peer: { kind: "group", id: "-100123" } }, agentId: "support" },
|
||||
],
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Session storage
|
||||
|
||||
Session stores live under the state directory (default `~/.openclaw`):
|
||||
|
||||
- `~/.openclaw/agents/<agentId>/sessions/sessions.json`
|
||||
- JSONL transcripts live alongside the store
|
||||
|
||||
You can override the store path via `session.store` and `{agentId}` templating.
|
||||
|
||||
## WebChat behavior
|
||||
|
||||
WebChat attaches to the **selected agent** and defaults to the agent’s main
|
||||
session. Because of this, WebChat lets you see cross‑channel context for that
|
||||
agent in one place.
|
||||
|
||||
## Reply context
|
||||
|
||||
Inbound replies include:
|
||||
|
||||
- `ReplyToId`, `ReplyToBody`, and `ReplyToSender` when available.
|
||||
- Quoted context is appended to `Body` as a `[Replying to ...]` block.
|
||||
|
||||
This is consistent across channels.

# Context Window & Compaction
|
||||
|
||||
Every model has a **context window** (max tokens it can see). Long-running chats accumulate messages and tool results; once the window is tight, OpenClaw **compacts** older history to stay within limits.
|
||||
|
||||
## What compaction is
|
||||
|
||||
Compaction **summarizes older conversation** into a compact summary entry and keeps recent messages intact. The summary is stored in the session history, so future requests use:
|
||||
|
||||
- The compaction summary
|
||||
- Recent messages after the compaction point
|
||||
|
||||
Compaction **persists** in the session’s JSONL history.
|
||||
|
||||
## Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
See [Compaction config & modes](/concepts/compaction) for the `agents.defaults.compaction` settings.
|
||||
|
||||
## Auto-compaction (default on)
|
||||
|
||||
When a session nears or exceeds the model’s context window, OpenClaw triggers auto-compaction and may retry the original request using the compacted context.
|
||||
|
||||
You’ll see:
|
||||
|
||||
- `🧹 Auto-compaction complete` in verbose mode
|
||||
- `/status` showing `🧹 Compactions: <count>`
|
||||
|
||||
Before compaction, OpenClaw can run a **silent memory flush** turn to store
|
||||
durable notes to disk. See [Memory](/concepts/memory) for details and config.
|
||||
|
||||
## Manual compaction
|
||||
|
||||
Use `/compact` (optionally with instructions) to force a compaction pass:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
/compact Focus on decisions and open questions
|
||||
```
|
||||

Context window is model-specific. OpenClaw uses the model definition from the configured provider catalog to determine limits.
|
||||
|
||||
## Compaction vs pruning
|
||||
|
||||
- **Compaction**: summarises and **persists** in JSONL.
|
||||
- **Session pruning**: trims old **tool results** only, **in-memory**, per request.
|
||||
|
||||
See [/concepts/session-pruning](/concepts/session-pruning) for pruning details.
|
||||
|
||||
## Tips
|
||||
|
||||
- Use `/compact` when sessions feel stale or context is bloated.
|
||||
- Large tool outputs are already truncated; pruning can further reduce tool-result buildup.
|
||||
- If you need a fresh slate, `/new` or `/reset` starts a new session id.

# Context
|
||||
|
||||
“Context” is **everything OpenClaw sends to the model for a run**. It is bounded by the model’s **context window** (token limit).
|
||||
|
||||
Beginner mental model:
|
||||
|
||||
- **System prompt** (OpenClaw-built): rules, tools, skills list, time/runtime, and injected workspace files.
|
||||
- **Conversation history**: your messages + the assistant’s messages for this session.
|
||||
- **Tool calls/results + attachments**: command output, file reads, images/audio, etc.
|
||||
|
||||
Context is _not the same thing_ as “memory”: memory can be stored on disk and reloaded later; context is what’s inside the model’s current window.
|
||||
|
||||
## Quick start (inspect context)
|
||||
|
||||
- `/status` → quick “how full is my window?” view + session settings.
|
||||
- `/context list` → what’s injected + rough sizes (per file + totals).
|
||||
- `/context detail` → deeper breakdown: per-file, per-tool schema sizes, per-skill entry sizes, and system prompt size.
|
||||
- `/usage tokens` → append per-reply usage footer to normal replies.
|
||||
- `/compact` → summarize older history into a compact entry to free window space.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Example output

|

```
|
||||
|
||||
## What counts toward the context window
|
||||
|
||||
Everything the model receives counts, including:
|
||||
|
||||
- System prompt (all sections).
|
||||
- Conversation history.
|
||||
- Tool calls + tool results.
|
||||
- Attachments/transcripts (images/audio/files).
|
||||
- Compaction summaries and pruning artifacts.
|
||||
- Provider “wrappers” or hidden headers (not visible, still counted).
|
||||
|
||||
## How OpenClaw builds the system prompt
|
||||
|
||||
The system prompt is **OpenClaw-owned** and rebuilt each run. It includes:
|
||||
|
||||
- Tool list + short descriptions.
|
||||
- Skills list (metadata only; see below).
|
||||
- Workspace location.
|
||||
- Time (UTC + converted user time if configured).
|
||||
- Runtime metadata (host/OS/model/thinking).
|
||||
- Injected workspace bootstrap files under **Project Context**.
|
||||
|
||||
Full breakdown: [System Prompt](/concepts/system-prompt).
|
||||
|
||||
## Injected workspace files (Project Context)
|
||||
|
||||
By default, OpenClaw injects a fixed set of workspace files (if present):
|
||||
|
||||
- `AGENTS.md`
|
||||
- `SOUL.md`
|
||||
- `TOOLS.md`
|
||||
- `IDENTITY.md`
|
||||
- `USER.md`
|
||||
- `HEARTBEAT.md`
|
||||
- `BOOTSTRAP.md` (first-run only)
|
||||
|
||||
Large files are truncated per-file using `agents.defaults.bootstrapMaxChars` (default `20000` chars). `/context` shows **raw vs injected** sizes and whether truncation happened.
|
||||
|
||||
## Skills: what’s injected vs loaded on-demand
|
||||
|
||||
The system prompt includes a compact **skills list** (name + description + location). This list has real overhead.
|
||||
|
||||
Skill instructions are _not_ included by default. The model is expected to `read` the skill’s `SKILL.md` **only when needed**.
|
||||
|
||||
## Tools: there are two costs
|
||||
|
||||
Tools affect context in two ways:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Tool list text** in the system prompt (what you see as “Tooling”).
|
||||
2. **Tool schemas** (JSON). These are sent to the model so it can call tools. They count toward context even though you don’t see them as plain text.
|
||||
|
||||
`/context detail` breaks down the biggest tool schemas so you can see what dominates.
|
||||
|
||||
## Commands, directives, and “inline shortcuts”
|
||||
|
||||
Slash commands are handled by the Gateway. There are a few different behaviors:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Standalone commands**: a message that is only `/...` runs as a command.
|
||||
- **Directives**: `/think`, `/verbose`, `/reasoning`, `/elevated`, `/model`, `/queue` are stripped before the model sees the message.
|
||||
- Directive-only messages persist session settings.
|
||||
- Inline directives in a normal message act as per-message hints.
|
||||
- **Inline shortcuts** (allowlisted senders only): certain `/...` tokens inside a normal message can run immediately (example: “hey /status”), and are stripped before the model sees the remaining text.
|
||||
|
||||
Details: [Slash commands](/tools/slash-commands).
|
||||
|
||||
## Sessions, compaction, and pruning (what persists)
|
||||
|
||||
What persists across messages depends on the mechanism:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Normal history** persists in the session transcript until compacted/pruned by policy.
|
||||
- **Compaction** persists a summary into the transcript and keeps recent messages intact.
|
||||
- **Pruning** removes old tool results from the _in-memory_ prompt for a run, but does not rewrite the transcript.
|
||||
|
||||
Docs: [Session](/concepts/session), [Compaction](/concepts/compaction), [Session pruning](/concepts/session-pruning).
|
||||
|
||||
## What `/context` actually reports
|
||||
|
||||
`/context` prefers the latest **run-built** system prompt report when available:
|
||||
|
||||
- `System prompt (run)` = captured from the last embedded (tool-capable) run and persisted in the session store.
|
||||
- `System prompt (estimate)` = computed on the fly when no run report exists (or when running via a CLI backend that doesn’t generate the report).
|
||||
|
||||
Either way, it reports sizes and top contributors; it does **not** dump the full system prompt or tool schemas.

# Group messages (WhatsApp web channel)
|
||||
|
||||
Goal: let Clawd sit in WhatsApp groups, wake up only when pinged, and keep that thread separate from the personal DM session.
|
||||
|
||||
Note: `agents.list[].groupChat.mentionPatterns` is now used by Telegram/Discord/Slack/iMessage as well; this doc focuses on WhatsApp-specific behavior. For multi-agent setups, set `agents.list[].groupChat.mentionPatterns` per agent (or use `messages.groupChat.mentionPatterns` as a global fallback).
|
||||
|
||||
## What’s implemented (2025-12-03)
|
||||
|
||||
- Activation modes: `mention` (default) or `always`. `mention` requires a ping (real WhatsApp @-mentions via `mentionedJids`, regex patterns, or the bot’s E.164 anywhere in the text). `always` wakes the agent on every message but it should reply only when it can add meaningful value; otherwise it returns the silent token `NO_REPLY`. Defaults can be set in config (`channels.whatsapp.groups`) and overridden per group via `/activation`. When `channels.whatsapp.groups` is set, it also acts as a group allowlist (include `"*"` to allow all).
|
||||
- Group policy: `channels.whatsapp.groupPolicy` controls whether group messages are accepted (`open|disabled|allowlist`). `allowlist` uses `channels.whatsapp.groupAllowFrom` (fallback: explicit `channels.whatsapp.allowFrom`). Default is `allowlist` (blocked until you add senders).
|
||||
- Per-group sessions: session keys look like `agent:<agentId>:whatsapp:group:<jid>` so commands such as `/verbose on` or `/think high` (sent as standalone messages) are scoped to that group; personal DM state is untouched. Heartbeats are skipped for group threads.
|
||||
- Context injection: **pending-only** group messages (default 50) that _did not_ trigger a run are prefixed under `[Chat messages since your last reply - for context]`, with the triggering line under `[Current message - respond to this]`. Messages already in the session are not re-injected.
|
||||
- Sender surfacing: every group batch now ends with `[from: Sender Name (+E164)]` so Pi knows who is speaking.
|
||||
- Ephemeral/view-once: we unwrap those before extracting text/mentions, so pings inside them still trigger.
|
||||
- Group system prompt: on the first turn of a group session (and whenever `/activation` changes the mode) we inject a short blurb into the system prompt like `You are replying inside the WhatsApp group "<subject>". Group members: Alice (+44...), Bob (+43...), … Activation: trigger-only … Address the specific sender noted in the message context.` If metadata isn’t available we still tell the agent it’s a group chat.
|
||||
|
||||
## Config example (WhatsApp)
|
||||
|
||||
Add a `groupChat` block to `~/.openclaw/openclaw.json` so display-name pings work even when WhatsApp strips the visual `@` in the text body:
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
channels: {
|
||||
whatsapp: {
|
||||
groups: {
|
||||
"*": { requireMention: true },
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
agents: {
|
||||
list: [
|
||||
{
|
||||
id: "main",
|
||||
groupChat: {
|
||||
historyLimit: 50,
|
||||
mentionPatterns: ["@?openclaw", "\\+?15555550123"],
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
],
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Notes:
|
||||
|
||||
- The regexes are case-insensitive; they cover a display-name ping like `@openclaw` and the raw number with or without `+`/spaces.
|
||||
- WhatsApp still sends canonical mentions via `mentionedJids` when someone taps the contact, so the number fallback is rarely needed but is a useful safety net.
|
||||
|
||||
### Activation command (owner-only)
|
||||
|
||||
Use the group chat command:
|
||||
|
||||
- `/activation mention`
|
||||
- `/activation always`
|
||||
|
||||
Only the owner number (from `channels.whatsapp.allowFrom`, or the bot’s own E.164 when unset) can change this. Send `/status` as a standalone message in the group to see the current activation mode.
|
||||
|
||||
## How to use
|
||||
|
||||
1. Add your WhatsApp account (the one running OpenClaw) to the group.
|
||||
2. Say `@openclaw …` (or include the number). Only allowlisted senders can trigger it unless you set `groupPolicy: "open"`.
|
||||
3. The agent prompt will include recent group context plus the trailing `[from: …]` marker so it can address the right person.
|
||||
4. Session-level directives (`/verbose on`, `/think high`, `/new` or `/reset`, `/compact`) apply only to that group’s session; send them as standalone messages so they register. Your personal DM session remains independent.
|
||||
|
||||
## Testing / verification
|
||||
|
||||
- Manual smoke:
|
||||
- Send an `@openclaw` ping in the group and confirm a reply that references the sender name.
|
||||
- Send a second ping and verify the history block is included then cleared on the next turn.
|
||||
- Check gateway logs (run with `--verbose`) to see `inbound web message` entries showing `from: <groupJid>` and the `[from: …]` suffix.
|
||||
|
||||
## Known considerations
|
||||
|
||||
- Heartbeats are intentionally skipped for groups to avoid noisy broadcasts.
|
||||
- Echo suppression uses the combined batch string; if you send identical text twice without mentions, only the first will get a response.
|
||||
- Session store entries will appear as `agent:<agentId>:whatsapp:group:<jid>` in the session store (`~/.openclaw/agents/<agentId>/sessions/sessions.json` by default); a missing entry just means the group hasn’t triggered a run yet.
|
||||
- Typing indicators in groups follow `agents.defaults.typingMode` (default: `message` when unmentioned).

# Groups
|
||||
|
||||
OpenClaw treats group chats consistently across surfaces: WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, Slack, Signal, iMessage, Microsoft Teams.
|
||||
|
||||
## Beginner intro (2 minutes)
|
||||
|
||||
OpenClaw “lives” on your own messaging accounts. There is no separate WhatsApp bot user.
|
||||
If **you** are in a group, OpenClaw can see that group and respond there.
|
||||
|
||||
Default behavior:
|
||||
|
||||
- Groups are restricted (`groupPolicy: "allowlist"`).
|
||||
- Replies require a mention unless you explicitly disable mention gating.
|
||||
|
||||
Translation: allowlisted senders can trigger OpenClaw by mentioning it.
|
||||
|
||||
> TL;DR
|
||||
>
|
||||
> - **DM access** is controlled by `*.allowFrom`.
|
||||
> - **Group access** is controlled by `*.groupPolicy` + allowlists (`*.groups`, `*.groupAllowFrom`).
|
||||
> - **Reply triggering** is controlled by mention gating (`requireMention`, `/activation`).
|
||||
|
||||
Quick flow (what happens to a group message):
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
groupPolicy? disabled -> drop
|
||||
groupPolicy? allowlist -> group allowed? no -> drop
|
||||
requireMention? yes -> mentioned? no -> store for context only
|
||||
otherwise -> reply
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
If you want...
|
||||
| Goal | What to set |
|
||||
|------|-------------|
|
||||
| Allow all groups but only reply on @mentions | `groups: { "*": { requireMention: true } }` |
|
||||
| Disable all group replies | `groupPolicy: "disabled"` |
|
||||
| Only specific groups | `groups: { "<group-id>": { ... } }` (no `"*"` key) |
|
||||
| Only you can trigger in groups | `groupPolicy: "allowlist"`, `groupAllowFrom: ["+1555..."]` |
|
||||
|
||||
## Session keys
|
||||
|
||||
- Group sessions use `agent:<agentId>:<channel>:group:<id>` session keys (rooms/channels use `agent:<agentId>:<channel>:channel:<id>`).
|
||||
- Telegram forum topics add `:topic:<threadId>` to the group id so each topic has its own session.
|
||||
- Direct chats use the main session (or per-sender if configured).
|
||||
- Heartbeats are skipped for group sessions.
|
||||
|
||||
## Pattern: personal DMs + public groups (single agent)
|
||||
|
||||
Yes — this works well if your “personal” traffic is **DMs** and your “public” traffic is **groups**.
|
||||
|
||||
Why: in single-agent mode, DMs typically land in the **main** session key (`agent:main:main`), while groups always use **non-main** session keys (`agent:main:<channel>:group:<id>`). If you enable sandboxing with `mode: "non-main"`, those group sessions run in Docker while your main DM session stays on-host.
|
||||
|
||||
This gives you one agent “brain” (shared workspace + memory), but two execution postures:
|
||||
|
||||
- **DMs**: full tools (host)
|
||||
- **Groups**: sandbox + restricted tools (Docker)
|
||||
|
||||
> If you need truly separate workspaces/personas (“personal” and “public” must never mix), use a second agent + bindings. See [Multi-Agent Routing](/concepts/multi-agent).
|
||||
|
||||
Example (DMs on host, groups sandboxed + messaging-only tools):
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
agents: {
|
||||
defaults: {
|
||||
sandbox: {
|
||||
mode: "non-main", // groups/channels are non-main -> sandboxed
|
||||
scope: "session", // strongest isolation (one container per group/channel)
|
||||
workspaceAccess: "none",
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
tools: {
|
||||
sandbox: {
|
||||
tools: {
|
||||
// If allow is non-empty, everything else is blocked (deny still wins).
|
||||
allow: ["group:messaging", "group:sessions"],
|
||||
deny: ["group:runtime", "group:fs", "group:ui", "nodes", "cron", "gateway"],
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Want “groups can only see folder X” instead of “no host access”? Keep `workspaceAccess: "none"` and mount only allowlisted paths into the sandbox:
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
agents: {
|
||||
defaults: {
|
||||
sandbox: {
|
||||
mode: "non-main",
|
||||
scope: "session",
|
||||
workspaceAccess: "none",
|
||||
docker: {
|
||||
binds: [
|
||||
// hostPath:containerPath:mode
|
||||
"~/FriendsShared:/data:ro",
|
||||
],
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```

## Display labels
|
||||
|
||||
- UI labels use `displayName` when available, formatted as `<channel>:<token>`.
|
||||
- `#room` is reserved for rooms/channels; group chats use `g-<slug>` (lowercase, spaces -> `-`, keep `#@+._-`).
|
||||
|
||||
## Group policy
|
||||
|
||||
Control how group/room messages are handled per channel:
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
channels: {
|
||||
whatsapp: {
|
||||
groupPolicy: "disabled", // "open" | "disabled" | "allowlist"
|
||||
groupAllowFrom: ["+15551234567"],
|
||||
},
|
||||
telegram: {
|
||||
groupPolicy: "disabled",
|
||||
groupAllowFrom: ["123456789", "@username"],
|
||||
},
|
||||
signal: {
|
||||
groupPolicy: "disabled",
|
||||
groupAllowFrom: ["+15551234567"],
|
||||
},
|
||||
imessage: {
|
||||
groupPolicy: "disabled",
|
||||
groupAllowFrom: ["chat_id:123"],
|
||||
},
|
||||
msteams: {
|
||||
groupPolicy: "disabled",
|
||||
groupAllowFrom: ["user@org.com"],
|
||||
},
|
||||
discord: {
|
||||
groupPolicy: "allowlist",
|
||||
guilds: {
|
||||
GUILD_ID: { channels: { help: { allow: true } } },
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
slack: {
|
||||
groupPolicy: "allowlist",
|
||||
channels: { "#general": { allow: true } },
|
||||
},
|
||||
matrix: {
|
||||
groupPolicy: "allowlist",
|
||||
groupAllowFrom: ["@owner:example.org"],
|
||||
groups: {
|
||||
"!roomId:example.org": { allow: true },
|
||||
"#alias:example.org": { allow: true },
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
| Policy | Behavior |
|
||||
| ------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
|
||||
| `"open"` | Groups bypass allowlists; mention-gating still applies. |
|
||||
| `"disabled"` | Block all group messages entirely. |
|
||||
| `"allowlist"` | Only allow groups/rooms that match the configured allowlist. |
|
||||
|
||||
Notes:
|
||||
|
||||
- `groupPolicy` is separate from mention-gating (which requires @mentions).
|
||||
- WhatsApp/Telegram/Signal/iMessage/Microsoft Teams: use `groupAllowFrom` (fallback: explicit `allowFrom`).
|
||||
- Discord: allowlist uses `channels.discord.guilds.<id>.channels`.
|
||||
- Slack: allowlist uses `channels.slack.channels`.
|
||||
- Matrix: allowlist uses `channels.matrix.groups` (room IDs, aliases, or names). Use `channels.matrix.groupAllowFrom` to restrict senders; per-room `users` allowlists are also supported.
|
||||
- Group DMs are controlled separately (`channels.discord.dm.*`, `channels.slack.dm.*`).
|
||||
- Telegram allowlist can match user IDs (`"123456789"`, `"telegram:123456789"`, `"tg:123456789"`) or usernames (`"@alice"` or `"alice"`); prefixes are case-insensitive.
|
||||
- Default is `groupPolicy: "allowlist"`; if your group allowlist is empty, group messages are blocked.
|
||||
|
||||
Quick mental model (evaluation order for group messages):
|
||||
|
||||
1. `groupPolicy` (open/disabled/allowlist)
|
||||
2. group allowlists (`*.groups`, `*.groupAllowFrom`, channel-specific allowlist)
|
||||
3. mention gating (`requireMention`, `/activation`)
|
||||
|
||||
## Mention gating (default)
|
||||
|
||||
Group messages require a mention unless overridden per group. Defaults live per subsystem under `*.groups."*"`.
|
||||
|
||||
Replying to a bot message counts as an implicit mention (when the channel supports reply metadata). This applies to Telegram, WhatsApp, Slack, Discord, and Microsoft Teams.
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
channels: {
|
||||
whatsapp: {
|
||||
groups: {
|
||||
"*": { requireMention: true },
|
||||
"123@g.us": { requireMention: false },
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
telegram: {
|
||||
groups: {
|
||||
"*": { requireMention: true },
|
||||
"123456789": { requireMention: false },
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
imessage: {
|
||||
groups: {
|
||||
"*": { requireMention: true },
|
||||
"123": { requireMention: false },
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
agents: {
|
||||
list: [
|
||||
{
|
||||
id: "main",
|
||||
groupChat: {
|
||||
mentionPatterns: ["@openclaw", "openclaw", "\\+15555550123"],
|
||||
historyLimit: 50,
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
],
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Notes:
|
||||
|
||||
- `mentionPatterns` are case-insensitive regexes.
|
||||
- Surfaces that provide explicit mentions still pass; patterns are a fallback.
|
||||
- Per-agent override: `agents.list[].groupChat.mentionPatterns` (useful when multiple agents share a group).
|
||||
- Mention gating is only enforced when mention detection is possible (native mentions or `mentionPatterns` are configured).
|
||||
- Discord defaults live in `channels.discord.guilds."*"` (overridable per guild/channel).
|
||||
- Group history context is wrapped uniformly across channels and is **pending-only** (messages skipped due to mention gating); use `messages.groupChat.historyLimit` for the global default and `channels.<channel>.historyLimit` (or `channels.<channel>.accounts.*.historyLimit`) for overrides. Set `0` to disable.
|
||||
|
||||
## Group/channel tool restrictions (optional)
|
||||
|
||||
Some channel configs support restricting which tools are available **inside a specific group/room/channel**.
|
||||
|
||||
- `tools`: allow/deny tools for the whole group.
|
||||
- `toolsBySender`: per-sender overrides within the group (keys are sender IDs/usernames/emails/phone numbers depending on the channel). Use `"*"` as a wildcard.
|
||||
|
||||
Resolution order (most specific wins):
|
||||
|
||||
1. group/channel `toolsBySender` match
|
||||
2. group/channel `tools`
|
||||
3. default (`"*"`) `toolsBySender` match
|
||||
4. default (`"*"`) `tools`
|
||||
|
||||
Example (Telegram):
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
channels: {
|
||||
telegram: {
|
||||
groups: {
|
||||
"*": { tools: { deny: ["exec"] } },
|
||||
"-1001234567890": {
|
||||
tools: { deny: ["exec", "read", "write"] },
|
||||
toolsBySender: {
|
||||
"123456789": { alsoAllow: ["exec"] },
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Notes:
|
||||
|
||||
- Group/channel tool restrictions are applied in addition to global/agent tool policy (deny still wins).
|
||||
- Some channels use different nesting for rooms/channels (e.g., Discord `guilds.*.channels.*`, Slack `channels.*`, MS Teams `teams.*.channels.*`).
|
||||
|
||||
## Group allowlists
|
||||
|
||||
When `channels.whatsapp.groups`, `channels.telegram.groups`, or `channels.imessage.groups` is configured, the keys act as a group allowlist. Use `"*"` to allow all groups while still setting default mention behavior.
|
||||
|
||||
Common intents (copy/paste):
|
||||
|
||||
1. Disable all group replies
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
channels: { whatsapp: { groupPolicy: "disabled" } },
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. Allow only specific groups (WhatsApp)
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
channels: {
|
||||
whatsapp: {
|
||||
groups: {
|
||||
"123@g.us": { requireMention: true },
|
||||
"456@g.us": { requireMention: false },
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
3. Allow all groups but require mention (explicit)
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
channels: {
|
||||
whatsapp: {
|
||||
groups: { "*": { requireMention: true } },
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
4. Only the owner can trigger in groups (WhatsApp)
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
channels: {
|
||||
whatsapp: {
|
||||
groupPolicy: "allowlist",
|
||||
groupAllowFrom: ["+15551234567"],
|
||||
groups: { "*": { requireMention: true } },
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Activation (owner-only)
|
||||
|
||||
Group owners can toggle per-group activation:
|
||||
|
||||
- `/activation mention`
|
||||
- `/activation always`
|
||||
|
||||
Owner is determined by `channels.whatsapp.allowFrom` (or the bot’s self E.164 when unset). Send the command as a standalone message. Other surfaces currently ignore `/activation`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Context fields
|
||||
|
||||
Group inbound payloads set:
|
||||
|
||||
- `ChatType=group`
|
||||
- `GroupSubject` (if known)
|
||||
- `GroupMembers` (if known)
|
||||
- `WasMentioned` (mention gating result)
|
||||
- Telegram forum topics also include `MessageThreadId` and `IsForum`.
|
||||
|
||||
The agent system prompt includes a group intro on the first turn of a new group session. It reminds the model to respond like a human, avoid Markdown tables, and avoid typing literal `\n` sequences.
|
||||
|
||||
## iMessage specifics
|
||||
|
||||
- Prefer `chat_id:<id>` when routing or allowlisting.
|
||||
- List chats: `imsg chats --limit 20`.
|
||||
- Group replies always go back to the same `chat_id`.
|
||||
|
||||
## WhatsApp specifics
|
||||
|
||||
See [Group messages](/concepts/group-messages) for WhatsApp-only behavior (history injection, mention handling details).

summary: "Markdown formatting pipeline for outbound channels"
|
||||

|

|
||||
- You are adding a new channel formatter or style mapping

|

# Markdown formatting
|
||||
|
||||
OpenClaw formats outbound Markdown by converting it into a shared intermediate
|
||||
representation (IR) before rendering channel-specific output. The IR keeps the
|
||||
source text intact while carrying style/link spans so chunking and rendering can
|
||||
stay consistent across channels.
|
||||
|
||||
## Goals
|
||||
|
||||
- **Consistency:** one parse step, multiple renderers.
|
||||
- **Safe chunking:** split text before rendering so inline formatting never
|
||||
breaks across chunks.
|
||||
- **Channel fit:** map the same IR to Slack mrkdwn, Telegram HTML, and Signal
|
||||
style ranges without re-parsing Markdown.
|
||||
|
||||
## Pipeline
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Parse Markdown -> IR**
|
||||
- IR is plain text plus style spans (bold/italic/strike/code/spoiler) and link spans.
|
||||
- Offsets are UTF-16 code units so Signal style ranges align with its API.
|
||||
- Tables are parsed only when a channel opts into table conversion.
|
||||
2. **Chunk IR (format-first)**
|
||||
- Chunking happens on the IR text before rendering.
|
||||
- Inline formatting does not split across chunks; spans are sliced per chunk.
|
||||
3. **Render per channel**
|
||||
- **Slack:** mrkdwn tokens (bold/italic/strike/code), links as `<url|label>`.
|
||||
- **Telegram:** HTML tags (`<b>`, `<i>`, `<s>`, `<code>`, `<pre><code>`, `<a href>`).
|
||||
- **Signal:** plain text + `text-style` ranges; links become `label (url)` when label differs.
|
||||
|
||||
## IR example
|
||||
|
||||
Input Markdown:
|
||||
|
||||
```markdown
|
||||
Hello **world** — see [docs](https://docs.openclaw.ai).
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
IR (schematic):
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"text": "Hello world — see docs.",
|
||||
"styles": [{ "start": 6, "end": 11, "style": "bold" }],
|
||||
"links": [{ "start": 19, "end": 23, "href": "https://docs.openclaw.ai" }]
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Where it is used
|
||||
|
||||
- Slack, Telegram, and Signal outbound adapters render from the IR.
|
||||
- Other channels (WhatsApp, iMessage, MS Teams, Discord) still use plain text or
|
||||
their own formatting rules, with Markdown table conversion applied before
|
||||
chunking when enabled.
|
||||
|
||||
## Table handling
|
||||
|
||||
Markdown tables are not consistently supported across chat clients. Use
|
||||
`markdown.tables` to control conversion per channel (and per account).
|
||||
|
||||
- `code`: render tables as code blocks (default for most channels).
|
||||
- `bullets`: convert each row into bullet points (default for Signal + WhatsApp).
|
||||
- `off`: disable table parsing and conversion; raw table text passes through.
|
||||
|
||||
Config keys:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
channels:
|
||||
discord:
|
||||
markdown:
|
||||
tables: code
|
||||
accounts:
|
||||
work:
|
||||
markdown:
|
||||
tables: off
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Chunking rules
|
||||
|
||||
- Chunk limits come from channel adapters/config and are applied to the IR text.
|
||||
- Code fences are preserved as a single block with a trailing newline so channels
|
||||
render them correctly.
|
||||
- List prefixes and blockquote prefixes are part of the IR text, so chunking
|
||||
does not split mid-prefix.
|
||||
- Inline styles (bold/italic/strike/inline-code/spoiler) are never split across
|
||||
chunks; the renderer reopens styles inside each chunk.
|
||||
|
||||
If you need more on chunking behavior across channels, see
|
||||
[Streaming + chunking](/concepts/streaming).
|
||||
|
||||
## Link policy
|
||||
|
||||
- **Slack:** `[label](url)` -> `<url|label>`; bare URLs remain bare. Autolink
|
||||
is disabled during parse to avoid double-linking.
|
||||
- **Telegram:** `[label](url)` -> `<a href="url">label</a>` (HTML parse mode).
|
||||
- **Signal:** `[label](url)` -> `label (url)` unless label matches the URL.
|
||||
|
||||
## Spoilers
|
||||
|
||||
Spoiler markers (`||spoiler||`) are parsed only for Signal, where they map to
|
||||
SPOILER style ranges. Other channels treat them as plain text.
|
||||
|
||||
## How to add or update a channel formatter
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Parse once:** use the shared `markdownToIR(...)` helper with channel-appropriate
|
||||
options (autolink, heading style, blockquote prefix).
|
||||
2. **Render:** implement a renderer with `renderMarkdownWithMarkers(...)` and a
|
||||
style marker map (or Signal style ranges).
|
||||
3. **Chunk:** call `chunkMarkdownIR(...)` before rendering; render each chunk.
|
||||
4. **Wire adapter:** update the channel outbound adapter to use the new chunker
|
||||
and renderer.
|
||||
5. **Test:** add or update format tests and an outbound delivery test if the
|
||||
channel uses chunking.
|
||||
|
||||
## Common gotchas
|
||||
|
||||
- Slack angle-bracket tokens (`<@U123>`, `<#C123>`, `<https://...>`) must be
|
||||
preserved; escape raw HTML safely.
|
||||
- Telegram HTML requires escaping text outside tags to avoid broken markup.
|
||||
- Signal style ranges depend on UTF-16 offsets; do not use code point offsets.
|
||||
- Preserve trailing newlines for fenced code blocks so closing markers land on
|
||||
their own line.

summary: "How OpenClaw memory works (workspace files + automatic memory flush)"
|

read_when:

- You want the memory file layout and workflow
|

- You want to tune the automatic pre-compaction memory flush

|

# Memory
|
||||
|
||||
OpenClaw memory is **plain Markdown in the agent workspace**. The files are the
|
||||
source of truth; the model only "remembers" what gets written to disk.
|
||||
|
||||
Memory search tools are provided by the active memory plugin (default:
|
||||
`memory-core`). Disable memory plugins with `plugins.slots.memory = "none"`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Memory files (Markdown)
|
||||
|
||||
The default workspace layout uses two memory layers:
|
||||
|
||||
- `memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md`
|
||||
- Daily log (append-only).
|
||||
- Read today + yesterday at session start.
|
||||
- `MEMORY.md` (optional)
|
||||
- Curated long-term memory.
|
||||
- **Only load in the main, private session** (never in group contexts).
|
||||
|
||||
These files live under the workspace (`agents.defaults.workspace`, default
|
||||
`~/clawd`). See [Agent workspace](/concepts/agent-workspace) for the full layout.
|
||||
|
||||
## When to write memory
|
||||
|
||||
- Decisions, preferences, and durable facts go to `MEMORY.md`.
|
||||
- Day-to-day notes and running context go to `memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md`.
|
||||
- If someone says "remember this," write it down (do not keep it in RAM).
|
||||
- This area is still evolving. It helps to remind the model to store memories; it will know what to do.
|
||||
- If you want something to stick, **ask the bot to write it** into memory.
|
||||
|
||||
## Automatic memory flush (pre-compaction ping)
|
||||
|
||||
When a session is **close to auto-compaction**, OpenClaw triggers a **silent,
|
||||
agentic turn** that reminds the model to write durable memory **before** the
|
||||
context is compacted. The default prompts explicitly say the model _may reply_,
|
||||
but usually `NO_REPLY` is the correct response so the user never sees this turn.
|
||||
|
||||
This is controlled by `agents.defaults.compaction.memoryFlush`:
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
agents: {
|
||||
defaults: {
|
||||
compaction: {
|
||||
reserveTokensFloor: 20000,
|
||||
memoryFlush: {
|
||||
enabled: true,
|
||||
softThresholdTokens: 4000,
|
||||
systemPrompt: "Session nearing compaction. Store durable memories now.",
|
||||
prompt: "Write any lasting notes to memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md; reply with NO_REPLY if nothing to store.",
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Details:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Soft threshold**: flush triggers when the session token estimate crosses
|
||||
`contextWindow - reserveTokensFloor - softThresholdTokens`.
|
||||
- **Silent** by default: prompts include `NO_REPLY` so nothing is delivered.
|
||||
- **Two prompts**: a user prompt plus a system prompt append the reminder.
|
||||
- **One flush per compaction cycle** (tracked in `sessions.json`).
|
||||
- **Workspace must be writable**: if the session runs sandboxed with
|
||||
`workspaceAccess: "ro"` or `"none"`, the flush is skipped.
|
||||
|
||||
For the full compaction lifecycle, see
|
||||
[Session management + compaction](/reference/session-management-compaction).
|
||||
|
||||
## Vector memory search
|
||||
|
||||
OpenClaw can build a small vector index over `MEMORY.md` and `memory/*.md` so
|
||||
semantic queries can find related notes even when wording differs.
|
||||
|
||||
Defaults:
|
||||
|
||||
- Enabled by default.
|
||||
- Watches memory files for changes (debounced).
|
||||
- Uses remote embeddings by default. If `memorySearch.provider` is not set, OpenClaw auto-selects:
|
||||
1. `local` if a `memorySearch.local.modelPath` is configured and the file exists.
|
||||
2. `openai` if an OpenAI key can be resolved.
|
||||
3. `gemini` if a Gemini key can be resolved.
|
||||
4. Otherwise memory search stays disabled until configured.
|
||||
- Local mode uses node-llama-cpp and may require `pnpm approve-builds`.
|
||||
- Uses sqlite-vec (when available) to accelerate vector search inside SQLite.
|
||||
|
||||
Remote embeddings **require** an API key for the embedding provider. OpenClaw
|
||||
resolves keys from auth profiles, `models.providers.*.apiKey`, or environment
|
||||
variables. Codex OAuth only covers chat/completions and does **not** satisfy
|
||||
embeddings for memory search. For Gemini, use `GEMINI_API_KEY` or
|
||||
`models.providers.google.apiKey`. When using a custom OpenAI-compatible endpoint,
|
||||
set `memorySearch.remote.apiKey` (and optional `memorySearch.remote.headers`).
|
||||
|
||||
### QMD backend (experimental)
|
||||
|
||||
Set `memory.backend = "qmd"` to swap the built-in SQLite indexer for
|
||||
[QMD](https://github.com/tobi/qmd): a local-first search sidecar that combines
|
||||
BM25 + vectors + reranking. Markdown stays the source of truth; OpenClaw shells
|
||||
out to QMD for retrieval. Key points:
|
||||
|
||||
**Prereqs**
|
||||
|
||||
- Disabled by default. Opt in per-config (`memory.backend = "qmd"`).
|
||||
- Install the QMD CLI separately (`bun install -g github.com/tobi/qmd` or grab
|
||||
a release) and make sure the `qmd` binary is on the gateway’s `PATH`.
|
||||
- QMD needs an SQLite build that allows extensions (`brew install sqlite` on
|
||||
macOS).
|
||||
- QMD runs fully locally via Bun + `node-llama-cpp` and auto-downloads GGUF
|
||||
models from HuggingFace on first use (no separate Ollama daemon required).
|
||||
- The gateway runs QMD in a self-contained XDG home under
|
||||
`~/.openclaw/agents/<agentId>/qmd/` by setting `XDG_CONFIG_HOME` and
|
||||
`XDG_CACHE_HOME`.
|
||||
- OS support: macOS and Linux work out of the box once Bun + SQLite are
|
||||
installed. Windows is best supported via WSL2.
|
||||
|
||||
**How the sidecar runs**
|
||||
|
||||
- The gateway writes a self-contained QMD home under
|
||||
`~/.openclaw/agents/<agentId>/qmd/` (config + cache + sqlite DB).
|
||||
- Collections are rewritten from `memory.qmd.paths` (plus default workspace
|
||||
memory files) into `index.yml`, then `qmd update` + `qmd embed` run on boot and
|
||||
on a configurable interval (`memory.qmd.update.interval`, default 5 m).
|
||||
- Searches run via `qmd query --json`. If QMD fails or the binary is missing,
|
||||
OpenClaw automatically falls back to the builtin SQLite manager so memory tools
|
||||
keep working.
|
||||
- **First search may be slow**: QMD may download local GGUF models (reranker/query
|
||||
expansion) on the first `qmd query` run.
|
||||
- OpenClaw sets `XDG_CONFIG_HOME`/`XDG_CACHE_HOME` automatically when it runs QMD.
|
||||
- If you want to pre-download models manually (and warm the same index OpenClaw
|
||||
uses), run a one-off query with the agent’s XDG dirs.
|
||||
|
||||
OpenClaw’s QMD state lives under your **state dir** (defaults to `~/.openclaw`).
|
||||
You can point `qmd` at the exact same index by exporting the same XDG vars
|
||||
OpenClaw uses:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Pick the same state dir OpenClaw uses
|
||||
STATE_DIR="${OPENCLAW_STATE_DIR:-$HOME/.openclaw}"
|
||||
if [ -d "$HOME/.moltbot" ] && [ ! -d "$HOME/.openclaw" ] \
|
||||
&& [ -z "${OPENCLAW_STATE_DIR:-}" ]; then
|
||||
STATE_DIR="$HOME/.moltbot"
|
||||
fi
|
||||
|
||||
export XDG_CONFIG_HOME="$STATE_DIR/agents/main/qmd/xdg-config"
|
||||
export XDG_CACHE_HOME="$STATE_DIR/agents/main/qmd/xdg-cache"
|
||||
|
||||
# (Optional) force an index refresh + embeddings
|
||||
qmd update
|
||||
qmd embed
|
||||
|
||||
# Warm up / trigger first-time model downloads
|
||||
qmd query "test" -c memory-root --json >/dev/null 2>&1
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Config surface (`memory.qmd.*`)**
|
||||
|
||||
- `command` (default `qmd`): override the executable path.
|
||||
- `includeDefaultMemory` (default `true`): auto-index `MEMORY.md` + `memory/**/*.md`.
|
||||
- `paths[]`: add extra directories/files (`path`, optional `pattern`, optional
|
||||
stable `name`).
|
||||
- `sessions`: opt into session JSONL indexing (`enabled`, `retentionDays`,
|
||||
`exportDir`).
|
||||
- `update`: controls refresh cadence (`interval`, `debounceMs`, `onBoot`, `embedInterval`).
|
||||
- `limits`: clamp recall payload (`maxResults`, `maxSnippetChars`,
|
||||
`maxInjectedChars`, `timeoutMs`).
|
||||
- `scope`: same schema as [`session.sendPolicy`](/gateway/configuration#session).
|
||||
Default is DM-only (`deny` all, `allow` direct chats); loosen it to surface QMD
|
||||
hits in groups/channels.
|
||||
- Snippets sourced outside the workspace show up as
|
||||
`qmd/<collection>/<relative-path>` in `memory_search` results; `memory_get`
|
||||
understands that prefix and reads from the configured QMD collection root.
|
||||
- When `memory.qmd.sessions.enabled = true`, OpenClaw exports sanitized session
|
||||
transcripts (User/Assistant turns) into a dedicated QMD collection under
|
||||
`~/.openclaw/agents/<id>/qmd/sessions/`, so `memory_search` can recall recent
|
||||
conversations without touching the builtin SQLite index.
|
||||
- `memory_search` snippets now include a `Source: <path#line>` footer when
|
||||
`memory.citations` is `auto`/`on`; set `memory.citations = "off"` to keep
|
||||
the path metadata internal (the agent still receives the path for
|
||||
`memory_get`, but the snippet text omits the footer and the system prompt
|
||||
warns the agent not to cite it).
|
||||
|
||||
**Example**
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
memory: {
|
||||
backend: "qmd",
|
||||
citations: "auto",
|
||||
qmd: {
|
||||
includeDefaultMemory: true,
|
||||
update: { interval: "5m", debounceMs: 15000 },
|
||||
limits: { maxResults: 6, timeoutMs: 4000 },
|
||||
scope: {
|
||||
default: "deny",
|
||||
rules: [{ action: "allow", match: { chatType: "direct" } }]
|
||||
},
|
||||
paths: [
|
||||
{ name: "docs", path: "~/notes", pattern: "**/*.md" }
|
||||
]
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Citations & fallback**
|
||||
|
||||
- `memory.citations` applies regardless of backend (`auto`/`on`/`off`).
|
||||
- When `qmd` runs, we tag `status().backend = "qmd"` so diagnostics show which
|
||||
engine served the results. If the QMD subprocess exits or JSON output can’t be
|
||||
parsed, the search manager logs a warning and returns the builtin provider
|
||||
(existing Markdown embeddings) until QMD recovers.
|
||||
|
||||
### Additional memory paths
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to index Markdown files outside the default workspace layout, add
|
||||
explicit paths:
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
agents: {
|
||||
defaults: {
|
||||
memorySearch: {
|
||||
extraPaths: ["../team-docs", "/srv/shared-notes/overview.md"]
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Notes:
|
||||
|
||||
- Paths can be absolute or workspace-relative.
|
||||
- Directories are scanned recursively for `.md` files.
|
||||
- Only Markdown files are indexed.
|
||||
- Symlinks are ignored (files or directories).
|
||||
|
||||
### Gemini embeddings (native)
|
||||
|
||||
Set the provider to `gemini` to use the Gemini embeddings API directly:
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
agents: {
|
||||
defaults: {
|
||||
memorySearch: {
|
||||
provider: "gemini",
|
||||
model: "gemini-embedding-001",
|
||||
remote: {
|
||||
apiKey: "YOUR_GEMINI_API_KEY"
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Notes:
|
||||
|
||||
- `remote.baseUrl` is optional (defaults to the Gemini API base URL).
|
||||
- `remote.headers` lets you add extra headers if needed.
|
||||
- Default model: `gemini-embedding-001`.
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to use a **custom OpenAI-compatible endpoint** (OpenRouter, vLLM, or a proxy),
|
||||
you can use the `remote` configuration with the OpenAI provider:
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
agents: {
|
||||
defaults: {
|
||||
memorySearch: {
|
||||
provider: "openai",
|
||||
model: "text-embedding-3-small",
|
||||
remote: {
|
||||
baseUrl: "https://api.example.com/v1/",
|
||||
apiKey: "YOUR_OPENAI_COMPAT_API_KEY",
|
||||
headers: { "X-Custom-Header": "value" }
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If you don't want to set an API key, use `memorySearch.provider = "local"` or set
|
||||
`memorySearch.fallback = "none"`.
|
||||
|
||||
Fallbacks:
|
||||
|
||||
- `memorySearch.fallback` can be `openai`, `gemini`, `local`, or `none`.
|
||||
- The fallback provider is only used when the primary embedding provider fails.
|
||||
|
||||
Batch indexing (OpenAI + Gemini):
|
||||
|
||||
- Enabled by default for OpenAI and Gemini embeddings. Set `agents.defaults.memorySearch.remote.batch.enabled = false` to disable.
|
||||
- Default behavior waits for batch completion; tune `remote.batch.wait`, `remote.batch.pollIntervalMs`, and `remote.batch.timeoutMinutes` if needed.
|
||||
- Set `remote.batch.concurrency` to control how many batch jobs we submit in parallel (default: 2).
|
||||
- Batch mode applies when `memorySearch.provider = "openai"` or `"gemini"` and uses the corresponding API key.
|
||||
- Gemini batch jobs use the async embeddings batch endpoint and require Gemini Batch API availability.
|
||||
|
||||
Why OpenAI batch is fast + cheap:
|
||||
|
||||
- For large backfills, OpenAI is typically the fastest option we support because we can submit many embedding requests in a single batch job and let OpenAI process them asynchronously.
|
||||
- OpenAI offers discounted pricing for Batch API workloads, so large indexing runs are usually cheaper than sending the same requests synchronously.
|
||||
- See the OpenAI Batch API docs and pricing for details:
|
||||
- https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference/batch
|
||||
- https://platform.openai.com/pricing
|
||||
|
||||
Config example:
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
agents: {
|
||||
defaults: {
|
||||
memorySearch: {
|
||||
provider: "openai",
|
||||
model: "text-embedding-3-small",
|
||||
fallback: "openai",
|
||||
remote: {
|
||||
batch: { enabled: true, concurrency: 2 }
|
||||
},
|
||||
sync: { watch: true }
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Tools:
|
||||
|
||||
- `memory_search` — returns snippets with file + line ranges.
|
||||
- `memory_get` — read memory file content by path.
|
||||
|
||||
Local mode:
|
||||
|
||||
- Set `agents.defaults.memorySearch.provider = "local"`.
|
||||
- Provide `agents.defaults.memorySearch.local.modelPath` (GGUF or `hf:` URI).
|
||||
- Optional: set `agents.defaults.memorySearch.fallback = "none"` to avoid remote fallback.
|
||||
|
||||
### How the memory tools work
|
||||
|
||||
- `memory_search` semantically searches Markdown chunks (~400 token target, 80-token overlap) from `MEMORY.md` + `memory/**/*.md`. It returns snippet text (capped ~700 chars), file path, line range, score, provider/model, and whether we fell back from local → remote embeddings. No full file payload is returned.
|
||||
- `memory_get` reads a specific memory Markdown file (workspace-relative), optionally from a starting line and for N lines. Paths outside `MEMORY.md` / `memory/` are rejected.
|
||||
- Both tools are enabled only when `memorySearch.enabled` resolves true for the agent.
|
||||
|
||||
### What gets indexed (and when)
|
||||
|
||||
- File type: Markdown only (`MEMORY.md`, `memory/**/*.md`).
|
||||
- Index storage: per-agent SQLite at `~/.openclaw/memory/<agentId>.sqlite` (configurable via `agents.defaults.memorySearch.store.path`, supports `{agentId}` token).
|
||||
- Freshness: watcher on `MEMORY.md` + `memory/` marks the index dirty (debounce 1.5s). Sync is scheduled on session start, on search, or on an interval and runs asynchronously. Session transcripts use delta thresholds to trigger background sync.
|
||||
- Reindex triggers: the index stores the embedding **provider/model + endpoint fingerprint + chunking params**. If any of those change, OpenClaw automatically resets and reindexes the entire store.
|
||||
|
||||
### Hybrid search (BM25 + vector)
|
||||
|
||||
When enabled, OpenClaw combines:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Vector similarity** (semantic match, wording can differ)
|
||||
- **BM25 keyword relevance** (exact tokens like IDs, env vars, code symbols)
|
||||
|
||||
If full-text search is unavailable on your platform, OpenClaw falls back to vector-only search.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Why hybrid?
|
||||
|
||||
Vector search is great at “this means the same thing”:
|
||||
|
||||
- “Mac Studio gateway host” vs “the machine running the gateway”
|
||||
- “debounce file updates” vs “avoid indexing on every write”
|
||||
|
||||
But it can be weak at exact, high-signal tokens:
|
||||
|
||||
- IDs (`a828e60`, `b3b9895a…`)
|
||||
- code symbols (`memorySearch.query.hybrid`)
|
||||
- error strings (“sqlite-vec unavailable”)
|
||||
|
||||
BM25 (full-text) is the opposite: strong at exact tokens, weaker at paraphrases.
|
||||
Hybrid search is the pragmatic middle ground: **use both retrieval signals** so you get
|
||||
good results for both “natural language” queries and “needle in a haystack” queries.
|
||||
|
||||
#### How we merge results (the current design)
|
||||
|
||||
Implementation sketch:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Retrieve a candidate pool from both sides:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Vector**: top `maxResults * candidateMultiplier` by cosine similarity.
|
||||
- **BM25**: top `maxResults * candidateMultiplier` by FTS5 BM25 rank (lower is better).
|
||||
|
||||
2. Convert BM25 rank into a 0..1-ish score:
|
||||
|
||||
- `textScore = 1 / (1 + max(0, bm25Rank))`
|
||||
|
||||
3. Union candidates by chunk id and compute a weighted score:
|
||||
|
||||
- `finalScore = vectorWeight * vectorScore + textWeight * textScore`
|
||||
|
||||
Notes:
|
||||
|
||||
- `vectorWeight` + `textWeight` is normalized to 1.0 in config resolution, so weights behave as percentages.
|
||||
- If embeddings are unavailable (or the provider returns a zero-vector), we still run BM25 and return keyword matches.
|
||||
- If FTS5 can’t be created, we keep vector-only search (no hard failure).
|
||||
|
||||
This isn’t “IR-theory perfect”, but it’s simple, fast, and tends to improve recall/precision on real notes.
|
||||
If we want to get fancier later, common next steps are Reciprocal Rank Fusion (RRF) or score normalization
|
||||
(min/max or z-score) before mixing.
|
||||
|
||||
Config:
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
agents: {
|
||||
defaults: {
|
||||
memorySearch: {
|
||||
query: {
|
||||
hybrid: {
|
||||
enabled: true,
|
||||
vectorWeight: 0.7,
|
||||
textWeight: 0.3,
|
||||
candidateMultiplier: 4
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Embedding cache
|
||||
|
||||
OpenClaw can cache **chunk embeddings** in SQLite so reindexing and frequent updates (especially session transcripts) don't re-embed unchanged text.
|
||||
|
||||
Config:
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
agents: {
|
||||
defaults: {
|
||||
memorySearch: {
|
||||
cache: {
|
||||
enabled: true,
|
||||
maxEntries: 50000
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Session memory search (experimental)
|
||||
|
||||
You can optionally index **session transcripts** and surface them via `memory_search`.
|
||||
This is gated behind an experimental flag.
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
agents: {
|
||||
defaults: {
|
||||
memorySearch: {
|
||||
experimental: { sessionMemory: true },
|
||||
sources: ["memory", "sessions"]
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Notes:
|
||||
|
||||
- Session indexing is **opt-in** (off by default).
|
||||
- Session updates are debounced and **indexed asynchronously** once they cross delta thresholds (best-effort).
|
||||
- `memory_search` never blocks on indexing; results can be slightly stale until background sync finishes.
|
||||
- Results still include snippets only; `memory_get` remains limited to memory files.
|
||||
- Session indexing is isolated per agent (only that agent’s session logs are indexed).
|
||||
- Session logs live on disk (`~/.openclaw/agents/<agentId>/sessions/*.jsonl`). Any process/user with filesystem access can read them, so treat disk access as the trust boundary. For stricter isolation, run agents under separate OS users or hosts.
|
||||
|
||||
Delta thresholds (defaults shown):
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
agents: {
|
||||
defaults: {
|
||||
memorySearch: {
|
||||
sync: {
|
||||
sessions: {
|
||||
deltaBytes: 100000, // ~100 KB
|
||||
deltaMessages: 50 // JSONL lines
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### SQLite vector acceleration (sqlite-vec)
|
||||
|
||||
When the sqlite-vec extension is available, OpenClaw stores embeddings in a
|
||||
SQLite virtual table (`vec0`) and performs vector distance queries in the
|
||||
database. This keeps search fast without loading every embedding into JS.
|
||||
|
||||
Configuration (optional):
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
agents: {
|
||||
defaults: {
|
||||
memorySearch: {
|
||||
store: {
|
||||
vector: {
|
||||
enabled: true,
|
||||
extensionPath: "/path/to/sqlite-vec"
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Notes:
|
||||
|
||||
- `enabled` defaults to true; when disabled, search falls back to in-process
|
||||
cosine similarity over stored embeddings.
|
||||
- If the sqlite-vec extension is missing or fails to load, OpenClaw logs the
|
||||
error and continues with the JS fallback (no vector table).
|
||||
- `extensionPath` overrides the bundled sqlite-vec path (useful for custom builds
|
||||
or non-standard install locations).
|
||||
|
||||
### Local embedding auto-download
|
||||
|
||||
- Default local embedding model: `hf:ggml-org/embeddinggemma-300M-GGUF/embeddinggemma-300M-Q8_0.gguf` (~0.6 GB).
|
||||
- When `memorySearch.provider = "local"`, `node-llama-cpp` resolves `modelPath`; if the GGUF is missing it **auto-downloads** to the cache (or `local.modelCacheDir` if set), then loads it. Downloads resume on retry.
|
||||
- Native build requirement: run `pnpm approve-builds`, pick `node-llama-cpp`, then `pnpm rebuild node-llama-cpp`.
|
||||
- Fallback: if local setup fails and `memorySearch.fallback = "openai"`, we automatically switch to remote embeddings (`openai/text-embedding-3-small` unless overridden) and record the reason.
|
||||
|
||||
### Custom OpenAI-compatible endpoint example
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
agents: {
|
||||
defaults: {
|
||||
memorySearch: {
|
||||
provider: "openai",
|
||||
model: "text-embedding-3-small",
|
||||
remote: {
|
||||
baseUrl: "https://api.example.com/v1/",
|
||||
apiKey: "YOUR_REMOTE_API_KEY",
|
||||
headers: {
|
||||
"X-Organization": "org-id",
|
||||
"X-Project": "project-id"
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Notes:
|
||||
|
||||
- `remote.*` takes precedence over `models.providers.openai.*`.
|
||||
- `remote.headers` merge with OpenAI headers; remote wins on key conflicts. Omit `remote.headers` to use the OpenAI defaults.

# Messages
|
||||
|
||||
This page ties together how OpenClaw handles inbound messages, sessions, queueing,
|
||||
streaming, and reasoning visibility.
|
||||
|
||||
## Message flow (high level)
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Inbound message
|
||||
-> routing/bindings -> session key
|
||||
-> queue (if a run is active)
|
||||
-> agent run (streaming + tools)
|
||||
-> outbound replies (channel limits + chunking)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Key knobs live in configuration:
|
||||
|
||||
- `messages.*` for prefixes, queueing, and group behavior.
|
||||
- `agents.defaults.*` for block streaming and chunking defaults.
|
||||
- Channel overrides (`channels.whatsapp.*`, `channels.telegram.*`, etc.) for caps and streaming toggles.
|
||||
|
||||
See [Configuration](/gateway/configuration) for full schema.

## Inbound dedupe
|
||||
|
||||
Channels can redeliver the same message after reconnects. OpenClaw keeps a
|
||||
short-lived cache keyed by channel/account/peer/session/message id so duplicate
|
||||
deliveries do not trigger another agent run.
|
||||
|
||||
## Inbound debouncing
|
||||
|
||||
Rapid consecutive messages from the **same sender** can be batched into a single
|
||||
agent turn via `messages.inbound`. Debouncing is scoped per channel + conversation
|
||||
and uses the most recent message for reply threading/IDs.
|
||||
|
||||
Config (global default + per-channel overrides):
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
messages: {
|
||||
inbound: {
|
||||
debounceMs: 2000,
|
||||
byChannel: {
|
||||
whatsapp: 5000,
|
||||
slack: 1500,
|
||||
discord: 1500,
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Notes:
|
||||
|
||||
- Debounce applies to **text-only** messages; media/attachments flush immediately.
|
||||
- Control commands bypass debouncing so they remain standalone.
|
||||
|
||||
## Sessions and devices
|
||||
|
||||
Sessions are owned by the gateway, not by clients.
|
||||
|
||||
- Direct chats collapse into the agent main session key.
|
||||
- Groups/channels get their own session keys.
|
||||
- The session store and transcripts live on the gateway host.
|
||||
|
||||
Multiple devices/channels can map to the same session, but history is not fully
|
||||
synced back to every client. Recommendation: use one primary device for long
|
||||
conversations to avoid divergent context. The Control UI and TUI always show the
|
||||
gateway-backed session transcript, so they are the source of truth.
|
||||
|
||||
Details: [Session management](/concepts/session).
|
||||
|
||||
## Inbound bodies and history context
|
||||
|
||||
OpenClaw separates the **prompt body** from the **command body**:
|
||||
|
||||
- `Body`: prompt text sent to the agent. This may include channel envelopes and
|
||||
optional history wrappers.
|
||||
- `CommandBody`: raw user text for directive/command parsing.
|
||||
- `RawBody`: legacy alias for `CommandBody` (kept for compatibility).
|
||||
|
||||
When a channel supplies history, it uses a shared wrapper:
|
||||
|
||||
- `[Chat messages since your last reply - for context]`
|
||||
- `[Current message - respond to this]`
|
||||
|
||||
For **non-direct chats** (groups/channels/rooms), the **current message body** is prefixed with the
|
||||
sender label (same style used for history entries). This keeps real-time and queued/history
|
||||
messages consistent in the agent prompt.
|
||||
|
||||
History buffers are **pending-only**: they include group messages that did _not_
|
||||
trigger a run (for example, mention-gated messages) and **exclude** messages
|
||||
already in the session transcript.
|
||||
|
||||
Directive stripping only applies to the **current message** section so history
|
||||
remains intact. Channels that wrap history should set `CommandBody` (or
|
||||
`RawBody`) to the original message text and keep `Body` as the combined prompt.
|
||||
History buffers are configurable via `messages.groupChat.historyLimit` (global
|
||||
default) and per-channel overrides like `channels.slack.historyLimit` or
|
||||
`channels.telegram.accounts.<id>.historyLimit` (set `0` to disable).
|
||||
|
||||
## Queueing and followups
|
||||
|
||||
If a run is already active, inbound messages can be queued, steered into the
|
||||
current run, or collected for a followup turn.
|
||||
|
||||
- Configure via `messages.queue` (and `messages.queue.byChannel`).
|
||||
- Modes: `interrupt`, `steer`, `followup`, `collect`, plus backlog variants.
|
||||
|
||||
Details: [Queueing](/concepts/queue).
|
||||
|
||||
## Streaming, chunking, and batching
|
||||
|
||||
Block streaming sends partial replies as the model produces text blocks.
|
||||
Chunking respects channel text limits and avoids splitting fenced code.
|
||||
|
||||
Key settings:
|
||||
|
||||
- `agents.defaults.blockStreamingDefault` (`on|off`, default off)
|
||||
- `agents.defaults.blockStreamingBreak` (`text_end|message_end`)
|
||||
- `agents.defaults.blockStreamingChunk` (`minChars|maxChars|breakPreference`)
|
||||
- `agents.defaults.blockStreamingCoalesce` (idle-based batching)
|
||||
- `agents.defaults.humanDelay` (human-like pause between block replies)
|
||||
- Channel overrides: `*.blockStreaming` and `*.blockStreamingCoalesce` (non-Telegram channels require explicit `*.blockStreaming: true`)
|
||||
|
||||
Details: [Streaming + chunking](/concepts/streaming).
|
||||
|
||||
## Reasoning visibility and tokens
|
||||
|
||||
OpenClaw can expose or hide model reasoning:
|
||||
|
||||
- `/reasoning on|off|stream` controls visibility.
|
||||
- Reasoning content still counts toward token usage when produced by the model.
|
||||
- Telegram supports reasoning stream into the draft bubble.
|
||||
|
||||
Details: [Thinking + reasoning directives](/tools/thinking) and [Token use](/token-use).
|
||||
|
||||
## Prefixes, threading, and replies
|
||||
|
||||
Outbound message formatting is centralized in `messages`:
|
||||
|
||||
- `messages.responsePrefix`, `channels.<channel>.responsePrefix`, and `channels.<channel>.accounts.<id>.responsePrefix` (outbound prefix cascade), plus `channels.whatsapp.messagePrefix` (WhatsApp inbound prefix)
|
||||
- Reply threading via `replyToMode` and per-channel defaults
|
||||

||||

|

- Diagnosing auth profile rotation, cooldowns, or model fallback behavior
|

|

title: "Model Failover"

|
||||
|
||||
# Model failover
|
||||
|
||||
OpenClaw handles failures in two stages:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Auth profile rotation** within the current provider.
|
||||
2. **Model fallback** to the next model in `agents.defaults.model.fallbacks`.
|
||||
|
||||
This doc explains the runtime rules and the data that backs them.
|
||||
|
||||
## Auth storage (keys + OAuth)
|
||||
|
||||
OpenClaw uses **auth profiles** for both API keys and OAuth tokens.
|
||||
|
||||
- Secrets live in `~/.openclaw/agents/<agentId>/agent/auth-profiles.json` (legacy: `~/.openclaw/agent/auth-profiles.json`).
|
||||
- Config `auth.profiles` / `auth.order` are **metadata + routing only** (no secrets).
|
||||
- Legacy import-only OAuth file: `~/.openclaw/credentials/oauth.json` (imported into `auth-profiles.json` on first use).
|
||||
|
||||
More detail: [/concepts/oauth](/concepts/oauth)
|
||||
|
||||
Credential types:
|
||||
|
||||
- `type: "api_key"` → `{ provider, key }`
|
||||
- `type: "oauth"` → `{ provider, access, refresh, expires, email? }` (+ `projectId`/`enterpriseUrl` for some providers)
|
||||
|
||||
## Profile IDs
|
||||
|
||||
OAuth logins create distinct profiles so multiple accounts can coexist.
|
||||
|
||||
- Default: `provider:default` when no email is available.
|
||||
- OAuth with email: `provider:<email>` (for example `google-antigravity:user@gmail.com`).
|
||||
|
||||
Profiles live in `~/.openclaw/agents/<agentId>/agent/auth-profiles.json` under `profiles`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Rotation order
|
||||
|
||||
When a provider has multiple profiles, OpenClaw chooses an order like this:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Explicit config**: `auth.order[provider]` (if set).
|
||||
2. **Configured profiles**: `auth.profiles` filtered by provider.
|
||||
3. **Stored profiles**: entries in `auth-profiles.json` for the provider.
|
||||
|
||||
If no explicit order is configured, OpenClaw uses a round‑robin order:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Primary key:** profile type (**OAuth before API keys**).
|
||||
- **Secondary key:** `usageStats.lastUsed` (oldest first, within each type).
|
||||
- **Cooldown/disabled profiles** are moved to the end, ordered by soonest expiry.
|
||||
|
||||
### Session stickiness (cache-friendly)
|
||||
|
||||
OpenClaw **pins the chosen auth profile per session** to keep provider caches warm.
|
||||
It does **not** rotate on every request. The pinned profile is reused until:
|
||||
|
||||
- the session is reset (`/new` / `/reset`)
|
||||
- a compaction completes (compaction count increments)
|
||||
- the profile is in cooldown/disabled
|
||||
|
||||
Manual selection via `/model …@<profileId>` sets a **user override** for that session
|
||||
and is not auto‑rotated until a new session starts.
|
||||
|
||||
Auto‑pinned profiles (selected by the session router) are treated as a **preference**:
|
||||
they are tried first, but OpenClaw may rotate to another profile on rate limits/timeouts.
|
||||
User‑pinned profiles stay locked to that profile; if it fails and model fallbacks
|
||||
are configured, OpenClaw moves to the next model instead of switching profiles.
|
||||
|
||||
### Why OAuth can “look lost”
|
||||
|
||||
If you have both an OAuth profile and an API key profile for the same provider, round‑robin can switch between them across messages unless pinned. To force a single profile:
|
||||
|
||||
- Pin with `auth.order[provider] = ["provider:profileId"]`, or
|
||||
- Use a per-session override via `/model …` with a profile override (when supported by your UI/chat surface).
|
||||
|
||||
## Cooldowns
|
||||
|
||||
When a profile fails due to auth/rate‑limit errors (or a timeout that looks
|
||||
like rate limiting), OpenClaw marks it in cooldown and moves to the next profile.
|
||||
Format/invalid‑request errors (for example Cloud Code Assist tool call ID
|
||||
validation failures) are treated as failover‑worthy and use the same cooldowns.
|
||||
|
||||
Cooldowns use exponential backoff:
|
||||
|
||||
- 1 minute
|
||||
- 5 minutes
|
||||
- 25 minutes
|
||||
- 1 hour (cap)
|
||||
|
||||
State is stored in `auth-profiles.json` under `usageStats`:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"usageStats": {
|
||||
"provider:profile": {
|
||||
"lastUsed": 1736160000000,
|
||||
"cooldownUntil": 1736160600000,
|
||||
"errorCount": 2
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Billing disables
|
||||
|
||||
Billing/credit failures (for example “insufficient credits” / “credit balance too low”) are treated as failover‑worthy, but they’re usually not transient. Instead of a short cooldown, OpenClaw marks the profile as **disabled** (with a longer backoff) and rotates to the next profile/provider.
|
||||
|
||||
State is stored in `auth-profiles.json`:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"usageStats": {
|
||||
"provider:profile": {
|
||||
"disabledUntil": 1736178000000,
|
||||
"disabledReason": "billing"
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Defaults:
|
||||
|
||||
- Billing backoff starts at **5 hours**, doubles per billing failure, and caps at **24 hours**.
|
||||
- Backoff counters reset if the profile hasn’t failed for **24 hours** (configurable).
|
||||
|
||||
## Model fallback
|
||||
|
||||
If all profiles for a provider fail, OpenClaw moves to the next model in
|
||||
`agents.defaults.model.fallbacks`. This applies to auth failures, rate limits, and
|
||||
timeouts that exhausted profile rotation (other errors do not advance fallback).
|
||||
|
||||
When a run starts with a model override (hooks or CLI), fallbacks still end at
|
||||
`agents.defaults.model.primary` after trying any configured fallbacks.
|
||||
|
||||

# Model providers
|
||||
|
||||
This page covers **LLM/model providers** (not chat channels like WhatsApp/Telegram).
|
||||
For model selection rules, see [/concepts/models](/concepts/models).
|
||||
|
||||
## Quick rules
|
||||
|
||||
- Model refs use `provider/model` (example: `opencode/claude-opus-4-5`).
|
||||
- If you set `agents.defaults.models`, it becomes the allowlist.
|
||||
- CLI helpers: `openclaw onboard`, `openclaw models list`, `openclaw models set <provider/model>`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Built-in providers (pi-ai catalog)
|
||||
|
||||
OpenClaw ships with the pi‑ai catalog. These providers require **no**
|
||||
`models.providers` config; just set auth + pick a model.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
- CLI: `openclaw onboard --auth-choice openai-api-key`
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
agents: { defaults: { model: { primary: "openai/gpt-5.2" } } },

|
||||
- Auth: Vertex uses gcloud ADC; Antigravity/Gemini CLI use their respective auth flows
|
||||
- Antigravity OAuth is shipped as a bundled plugin (`google-antigravity-auth`, disabled by default).
|
||||
- Enable: `openclaw plugins enable google-antigravity-auth`
|
||||

|
||||
tokens in auth profiles on the gateway host.
|
||||
|
||||
### Z.AI (GLM)
|
||||
|
||||
- Provider: `zai`

|
||||
|
||||
## Providers via `models.providers` (custom/base URL)
|
||||
|
||||
Use `models.providers` (or `models.json`) to add **custom** providers or
|
||||
OpenAI/Anthropic‑compatible proxies.
|
||||
|
||||
### Moonshot AI (Kimi)
|
||||
|
||||
Moonshot uses OpenAI-compatible endpoints, so configure it as a custom provider:
|
||||
|
||||
- Provider: `moonshot`
|
||||
- Auth: `MOONSHOT_API_KEY`
|
||||
- Example model: `moonshot/kimi-k2.5`
|
||||
|
||||
Kimi K2 model IDs:
|
||||
|
||||
{/_ moonshot-kimi-k2-model-refs:start _/ && null}

|
||||
- `moonshot/kimi-k2-thinking`
|
||||
- `moonshot/kimi-k2-thinking-turbo`
|
||||
{/_ moonshot-kimi-k2-model-refs:end _/ && null}
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
agents: {
|
||||
defaults: { model: { primary: "moonshot/kimi-k2.5" } },

apiKey: "${MOONSHOT_API_KEY}",
|
||||
api: "openai-completions",
|
||||
models: [{ id: "kimi-k2.5", name: "Kimi K2.5" }],
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Kimi Coding
|
||||
|
||||
Kimi Coding uses Moonshot AI's Anthropic-compatible endpoint:
|
||||
|
||||
- Provider: `kimi-coding`
|
||||
- Auth: `KIMI_API_KEY`
|
||||
- Example model: `kimi-coding/k2p5`
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
env: { KIMI_API_KEY: "sk-..." },
|
||||
agents: {
|
||||
defaults: { model: { primary: "kimi-coding/k2p5" } },
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Qwen OAuth (free tier)
|
||||
|
||||
Qwen provides OAuth access to Qwen Coder + Vision via a device-code flow.
|
||||
Enable the bundled plugin, then log in:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw plugins enable qwen-portal-auth
|
||||
openclaw models auth login --provider qwen-portal --set-default
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Model refs:
|
||||
|
||||
- `qwen-portal/coder-model`
|
||||
- `qwen-portal/vision-model`
|
||||
|
||||
See [/providers/qwen](/providers/qwen) for setup details and notes.
|
||||
|
||||
### Synthetic
|
||||
|
||||
Synthetic provides Anthropic-compatible models behind the `synthetic` provider:
|
||||
|
||||
- Provider: `synthetic`
|
||||
- Auth: `SYNTHETIC_API_KEY`
|
||||
- Example model: `synthetic/hf:MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-M2.1`
|
||||
- CLI: `openclaw onboard --auth-choice synthetic-api-key`
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
agents: {
|
||||
defaults: { model: { primary: "synthetic/hf:MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-M2.1" } },
|
||||
},
|
||||
models: {
|
||||
mode: "merge",
|
||||
providers: {
|
||||
synthetic: {
|
||||
baseUrl: "https://api.synthetic.new/anthropic",
|
||||
apiKey: "${SYNTHETIC_API_KEY}",
|
||||
api: "anthropic-messages",
|
||||
models: [{ id: "hf:MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-M2.1", name: "MiniMax M2.1" }],
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### MiniMax
|
||||
|
||||
MiniMax is configured via `models.providers` because it uses custom endpoints:
|
||||
|
||||
- MiniMax (Anthropic‑compatible): `--auth-choice minimax-api`
|
||||
- Auth: `MINIMAX_API_KEY`
|
||||
|
||||
See [/providers/minimax](/providers/minimax) for setup details, model options, and config snippets.
|
||||
|
||||
### Ollama
|
||||
|
||||
Ollama is a local LLM runtime that provides an OpenAI-compatible API:
|
||||
|
||||
- Provider: `ollama`
|
||||
- Auth: None required (local server)
|
||||
- Example model: `ollama/llama3.3`
|
||||
- Installation: https://ollama.ai
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Install Ollama, then pull a model:
|
||||
ollama pull llama3.3
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
agents: {
|
||||
defaults: { model: { primary: "ollama/llama3.3" } },
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Ollama is automatically detected when running locally at `http://127.0.0.1:11434/v1`. See [/providers/ollama](/providers/ollama) for model recommendations and custom configuration.
|
||||
|
||||
### Local proxies (LM Studio, vLLM, LiteLLM, etc.)
|
||||
|
||||
Example (OpenAI‑compatible):
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
agents: {
|
||||
defaults: {
|
||||
model: { primary: "lmstudio/minimax-m2.1-gs32" },
|
||||
models: { "lmstudio/minimax-m2.1-gs32": { alias: "Minimax" } },
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
models: {
|
||||
providers: {
|
||||
lmstudio: {
|
||||
baseUrl: "http://localhost:1234/v1",
|
||||
apiKey: "LMSTUDIO_KEY",
|
||||
api: "openai-completions",
|
||||
models: [
|
||||
{
|
||||
id: "minimax-m2.1-gs32",
|
||||
name: "MiniMax M2.1",
|
||||
reasoning: false,
|
||||
input: ["text"],
|
||||
cost: { input: 0, output: 0, cacheRead: 0, cacheWrite: 0 },
|
||||
contextWindow: 200000,
|
||||
maxTokens: 8192,
|
||||
},
|
||||
],
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Notes:
|
||||
|
||||
- For custom providers, `reasoning`, `input`, `cost`, `contextWindow`, and `maxTokens` are optional.
|
||||
When omitted, OpenClaw defaults to:
|
||||
- `reasoning: false`
|
||||
- `input: ["text"]`
|
||||
- `cost: { input: 0, output: 0, cacheRead: 0, cacheWrite: 0 }`
|
||||
- `contextWindow: 200000`
|
||||
- `maxTokens: 8192`
|
||||
- Recommended: set explicit values that match your proxy/model limits.
|
||||
|
||||

# Models CLI
|
||||
|
||||
See [/concepts/model-failover](/concepts/model-failover) for auth profile
|
||||
rotation, cooldowns, and how that interacts with fallbacks.
|
||||
Quick provider overview + examples: [/concepts/model-providers](/concepts/model-providers).
|
||||
|
||||
## How model selection works
|
||||
|
||||
OpenClaw selects models in this order:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Primary** model (`agents.defaults.model.primary` or `agents.defaults.model`).
|
||||
2. **Fallbacks** in `agents.defaults.model.fallbacks` (in order).
|
||||
3. **Provider auth failover** happens inside a provider before moving to the
|
||||
next model.
|
||||
|
||||
Related:
|
||||
|
||||
- `agents.defaults.models` is the allowlist/catalog of models OpenClaw can use (plus aliases).
|
||||
- `agents.defaults.imageModel` is used **only when** the primary model can’t accept images.
|
||||
- Per-agent defaults can override `agents.defaults.model` via `agents.list[].model` plus bindings (see [/concepts/multi-agent](/concepts/multi-agent)).
|
||||
|
||||
## Quick model picks (anecdotal)
|
||||
|
||||
- **GLM**: a bit better for coding/tool calling.
|
||||
- **MiniMax**: better for writing and vibes.
|
||||
|
||||
## Setup wizard (recommended)
|
||||
|
||||
If you don’t want to hand-edit config, run the onboarding wizard:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw onboard
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
It can set up model + auth for common providers, including **OpenAI Code (Codex)
|
||||
subscription** (OAuth) and **Anthropic** (API key recommended; `claude
|
||||
setup-token` also supported).
|
||||
|
||||
## Config keys (overview)
|
||||
|
||||
- `agents.defaults.model.primary` and `agents.defaults.model.fallbacks`
|
||||
- `agents.defaults.imageModel.primary` and `agents.defaults.imageModel.fallbacks`
|
||||
- `agents.defaults.models` (allowlist + aliases + provider params)
|
||||
- `models.providers` (custom providers written into `models.json`)
|
||||
|
||||
Model refs are normalized to lowercase. Provider aliases like `z.ai/*` normalize
|
||||
to `zai/*`.
|
||||
|
||||
Provider configuration examples (including OpenCode Zen) live in
|
||||
[/gateway/configuration](/gateway/configuration#opencode-zen-multi-model-proxy).
|
||||
|
||||
## “Model is not allowed” (and why replies stop)
|
||||
|
||||
If `agents.defaults.models` is set, it becomes the **allowlist** for `/model` and for
|
||||
session overrides. When a user selects a model that isn’t in that allowlist,
|
||||
OpenClaw returns:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Model "provider/model" is not allowed. Use /model to list available models.
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This happens **before** a normal reply is generated, so the message can feel
|
||||
like it “didn’t respond.” The fix is to either:
|
||||
|
||||
- Add the model to `agents.defaults.models`, or
|
||||
- Clear the allowlist (remove `agents.defaults.models`), or
|
||||
- Pick a model from `/model list`.
|
||||
|
||||
Example allowlist config:
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
agent: {
|
||||
model: { primary: "anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-5" },
|
||||
models: {
|
||||
"anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-5": { alias: "Sonnet" },
|
||||
"anthropic/claude-opus-4-5": { alias: "Opus" },
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Switching models in chat (`/model`)
|
||||
|
||||
You can switch models for the current session without restarting:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
/model
|
||||
/model list
|
||||
/model 3
|
||||
/model openai/gpt-5.2
|
||||
/model status
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Notes:
|
||||
|
||||
- `/model` (and `/model list`) is a compact, numbered picker (model family + available providers).
|
||||
- `/model <#>` selects from that picker.
|
||||
- `/model status` is the detailed view (auth candidates and, when configured, provider endpoint `baseUrl` + `api` mode).
|
||||
- Model refs are parsed by splitting on the **first** `/`. Use `provider/model` when typing `/model <ref>`.
|
||||
- If the model ID itself contains `/` (OpenRouter-style), you must include the provider prefix (example: `/model openrouter/moonshotai/kimi-k2`).
|
||||
- If you omit the provider, OpenClaw treats the input as an alias or a model for the **default provider** (only works when there is no `/` in the model ID).
|
||||
|
||||
Full command behavior/config: [Slash commands](/tools/slash-commands).
|
||||
|
||||
## CLI commands
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw models list
|
||||
openclaw models status
|
||||
openclaw models set <provider/model>
|
||||
openclaw models set-image <provider/model>
|
||||
|
||||
openclaw models aliases list
|
||||
openclaw models aliases add <alias> <provider/model>
|
||||
openclaw models aliases remove <alias>
|
||||
|
||||
openclaw models fallbacks list
|
||||
openclaw models fallbacks add <provider/model>
|
||||
openclaw models fallbacks remove <provider/model>
|
||||
openclaw models fallbacks clear
|
||||
|
||||
openclaw models image-fallbacks list
|
||||
openclaw models image-fallbacks add <provider/model>
|
||||
openclaw models image-fallbacks remove <provider/model>
|
||||
openclaw models image-fallbacks clear
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`openclaw models` (no subcommand) is a shortcut for `models status`.
|
||||
|
||||
### `models list`
|
||||
|
||||
Shows configured models by default. Useful flags:
|
||||
|
||||
- `--all`: full catalog
|
||||
- `--local`: local providers only
|
||||
- `--provider <name>`: filter by provider
|
||||
- `--plain`: one model per line
|
||||
- `--json`: machine‑readable output
|
||||
|
||||
### `models status`
|
||||
|
||||
Shows the resolved primary model, fallbacks, image model, and an auth overview
|
||||
of configured providers. It also surfaces OAuth expiry status for profiles found
|
||||
in the auth store (warns within 24h by default). `--plain` prints only the
|
||||
resolved primary model.
|
||||
OAuth status is always shown (and included in `--json` output). If a configured
|
||||
provider has no credentials, `models status` prints a **Missing auth** section.
|
||||
JSON includes `auth.oauth` (warn window + profiles) and `auth.providers`
|
||||
(effective auth per provider).
|
||||
Use `--check` for automation (exit `1` when missing/expired, `2` when expiring).
|
||||
|
||||
Preferred Anthropic auth is the Claude Code CLI setup-token (run anywhere; paste on the gateway host if needed):
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
claude setup-token
|
||||
openclaw models status
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Scanning (OpenRouter free models)
|
||||
|
||||
`openclaw models scan` inspects OpenRouter’s **free model catalog** and can
|
||||
optionally probe models for tool and image support.
|
||||
|
||||
Key flags:
|
||||
|
||||
- `--no-probe`: skip live probes (metadata only)
|
||||
- `--min-params <b>`: minimum parameter size (billions)
|
||||
- `--max-age-days <days>`: skip older models
|
||||
- `--provider <name>`: provider prefix filter
|
||||
- `--max-candidates <n>`: fallback list size
|
||||
- `--set-default`: set `agents.defaults.model.primary` to the first selection
|
||||
- `--set-image`: set `agents.defaults.imageModel.primary` to the first image selection
|
||||
|
||||
Probing requires an OpenRouter API key (from auth profiles or
|
||||
`OPENROUTER_API_KEY`). Without a key, use `--no-probe` to list candidates only.
|
||||
|
||||
Scan results are ranked by:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Image support
|
||||
2. Tool latency
|
||||
3. Context size
|
||||
4. Parameter count
|
||||
|
||||
Input
|
||||
|
||||
- OpenRouter `/models` list (filter `:free`)
|
||||
- Requires OpenRouter API key from auth profiles or `OPENROUTER_API_KEY` (see [/environment](/environment))
|
||||
- Optional filters: `--max-age-days`, `--min-params`, `--provider`, `--max-candidates`
|
||||
- Probe controls: `--timeout`, `--concurrency`
|
||||
|
||||
When run in a TTY, you can select fallbacks interactively. In non‑interactive
|
||||
mode, pass `--yes` to accept defaults.
|
||||
|
||||
## Models registry (`models.json`)
|
||||
|
||||
Custom providers in `models.providers` are written into `models.json` under the
|
||||
agent directory (default `~/.openclaw/agents/<agentId>/models.json`). This file
|
||||
is merged by default unless `models.mode` is set to `replace`.

# Multi-Agent Routing
|
||||
|
||||
Goal: multiple _isolated_ agents (separate workspace + `agentDir` + sessions), plus multiple channel accounts (e.g. two WhatsApps) in one running Gateway. Inbound is routed to an agent via bindings.
|
||||
|
||||
## What is “one agent”?
|
||||
|
||||
An **agent** is a fully scoped brain with its own:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Workspace** (files, AGENTS.md/SOUL.md/USER.md, local notes, persona rules).
|
||||
- **State directory** (`agentDir`) for auth profiles, model registry, and per-agent config.
|
||||
- **Session store** (chat history + routing state) under `~/.openclaw/agents/<agentId>/sessions`.
|
||||
|
||||
Auth profiles are **per-agent**. Each agent reads from its own:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
~/.openclaw/agents/<agentId>/agent/auth-profiles.json
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Main agent credentials are **not** shared automatically. Never reuse `agentDir`
|
||||
across agents (it causes auth/session collisions). If you want to share creds,
|
||||
copy `auth-profiles.json` into the other agent's `agentDir`.
|
||||
|
||||
Skills are per-agent via each workspace’s `skills/` folder, with shared skills
|
||||
available from `~/.openclaw/skills`. See [Skills: per-agent vs shared](/tools/skills#per-agent-vs-shared-skills).
|
||||
|
||||
The Gateway can host **one agent** (default) or **many agents** side-by-side.
|
||||
|
||||
**Workspace note:** each agent’s workspace is the **default cwd**, not a hard
|
||||
sandbox. Relative paths resolve inside the workspace, but absolute paths can
|
||||
reach other host locations unless sandboxing is enabled. See
|
||||
[Sandboxing](/gateway/sandboxing).
|
||||
|
||||
## Paths (quick map)
|
||||
|
||||
- Config: `~/.openclaw/openclaw.json` (or `OPENCLAW_CONFIG_PATH`)
|
||||
- State dir: `~/.openclaw` (or `OPENCLAW_STATE_DIR`)
|
||||
- Workspace: `~/.openclaw/workspace` (or `~/.openclaw/workspace-<agentId>`)
|
||||
- Agent dir: `~/.openclaw/agents/<agentId>/agent` (or `agents.list[].agentDir`)
|
||||
- Sessions: `~/.openclaw/agents/<agentId>/sessions`
|
||||
|
||||
### Single-agent mode (default)
|
||||
|
||||
If you do nothing, OpenClaw runs a single agent:
|
||||
|
||||
- `agentId` defaults to **`main`**.
|
||||
- Sessions are keyed as `agent:main:<mainKey>`.
|
||||
- Workspace defaults to `~/.openclaw/workspace` (or `~/.openclaw/workspace-<profile>` when `OPENCLAW_PROFILE` is set).
|
||||
- State defaults to `~/.openclaw/agents/main/agent`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Agent helper
|
||||
|
||||
Use the agent wizard to add a new isolated agent:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw agents add work
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Then add `bindings` (or let the wizard do it) to route inbound messages.
|
||||
|
||||
Verify with:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw agents list --bindings
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Multiple agents = multiple people, multiple personalities
|
||||
|
||||
With **multiple agents**, each `agentId` becomes a **fully isolated persona**:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Different phone numbers/accounts** (per channel `accountId`).
|
||||
- **Different personalities** (per-agent workspace files like `AGENTS.md` and `SOUL.md`).
|
||||
- **Separate auth + sessions** (no cross-talk unless explicitly enabled).
|
||||
|
||||
This lets **multiple people** share one Gateway server while keeping their AI “brains” and data isolated.
|
||||
|
||||
## One WhatsApp number, multiple people (DM split)
|
||||
|
||||
You can route **different WhatsApp DMs** to different agents while staying on **one WhatsApp account**. Match on sender E.164 (like `+15551234567`) with `peer.kind: "dm"`. Replies still come from the same WhatsApp number (no per‑agent sender identity).
|
||||
|
||||
Important detail: direct chats collapse to the agent’s **main session key**, so true isolation requires **one agent per person**.
|
||||
|
||||
Example:
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
agents: {
|
||||
list: [
|
||||
{ id: "alex", workspace: "~/.openclaw/workspace-alex" },
|
||||
{ id: "mia", workspace: "~/.openclaw/workspace-mia" },
|
||||
],
|
||||
},
|
||||
bindings: [
|
||||
{ agentId: "alex", match: { channel: "whatsapp", peer: { kind: "dm", id: "+15551230001" } } },
|
||||
{ agentId: "mia", match: { channel: "whatsapp", peer: { kind: "dm", id: "+15551230002" } } },
|
||||
],
|
||||
channels: {
|
||||
whatsapp: {
|
||||
dmPolicy: "allowlist",
|
||||
allowFrom: ["+15551230001", "+15551230002"],
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Notes:
|
||||
|
||||
- DM access control is **global per WhatsApp account** (pairing/allowlist), not per agent.
|
||||
- For shared groups, bind the group to one agent or use [Broadcast groups](/broadcast-groups).
|
||||
|
||||
## Routing rules (how messages pick an agent)
|
||||
|
||||
Bindings are **deterministic** and **most-specific wins**:
|
||||
|
||||
1. `peer` match (exact DM/group/channel id)
|
||||
2. `guildId` (Discord)
|
||||
3. `teamId` (Slack)
|
||||
4. `accountId` match for a channel
|
||||
5. channel-level match (`accountId: "*"`)
|
||||
6. fallback to default agent (`agents.list[].default`, else first list entry, default: `main`)
|
||||
|
||||
## Multiple accounts / phone numbers
|
||||
|
||||
Channels that support **multiple accounts** (e.g. WhatsApp) use `accountId` to identify
|
||||
each login. Each `accountId` can be routed to a different agent, so one server can host
|
||||
multiple phone numbers without mixing sessions.
|
||||
|
||||
## Concepts
|
||||
|
||||
- `agentId`: one “brain” (workspace, per-agent auth, per-agent session store).
|
||||
- `accountId`: one channel account instance (e.g. WhatsApp account `"personal"` vs `"biz"`).
|
||||
- `binding`: routes inbound messages to an `agentId` by `(channel, accountId, peer)` and optionally guild/team ids.
|
||||
- Direct chats collapse to `agent:<agentId>:<mainKey>` (per-agent “main”; `session.mainKey`).
|
||||
|
||||
## Example: two WhatsApps → two agents
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
```js

||||

}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Example: WhatsApp daily chat + Telegram deep work
|
||||
|
||||
Split by channel: route WhatsApp to a fast everyday agent and Telegram to an Opus agent.
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
agents: {
|
||||
list: [
|
||||
{
|
||||
id: "chat",
|
||||
name: "Everyday",
|
||||
workspace: "~/.openclaw/workspace-chat",
|
||||
model: "anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-5",
|
||||
},
|
||||
{
|
||||
id: "opus",
|
||||
name: "Deep Work",
|
||||
workspace: "~/.openclaw/workspace-opus",
|
||||
model: "anthropic/claude-opus-4-5",
|
||||
},
|
||||
],
|
||||
},
|
||||
bindings: [
|
||||
{ agentId: "chat", match: { channel: "whatsapp" } },
|
||||
{ agentId: "opus", match: { channel: "telegram" } },
|
||||
],
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Notes:
|
||||
|
||||
- If you have multiple accounts for a channel, add `accountId` to the binding (for example `{ channel: "whatsapp", accountId: "personal" }`).
|
||||
- To route a single DM/group to Opus while keeping the rest on chat, add a `match.peer` binding for that peer; peer matches always win over channel-wide rules.
|
||||
|
||||
## Example: same channel, one peer to Opus
|
||||
|
||||
Keep WhatsApp on the fast agent, but route one DM to Opus:
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
agents: {
|
||||
list: [
|
||||
{
|
||||
id: "chat",
|
||||
name: "Everyday",
|
||||
workspace: "~/.openclaw/workspace-chat",
|
||||
model: "anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-5",
|
||||
},
|
||||
{
|
||||
id: "opus",
|
||||
name: "Deep Work",
|
||||
workspace: "~/.openclaw/workspace-opus",
|
||||
model: "anthropic/claude-opus-4-5",
|
||||
},
|
||||
],
|
||||
},
|
||||
bindings: [
|
||||
{ agentId: "opus", match: { channel: "whatsapp", peer: { kind: "dm", id: "+15551234567" } } },
|
||||
{ agentId: "chat", match: { channel: "whatsapp" } },
|
||||
],
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Peer bindings always win, so keep them above the channel-wide rule.
|
||||
|
||||
## Family agent bound to a WhatsApp group
|
||||
|
||||
Bind a dedicated family agent to a single WhatsApp group, with mention gating
|
||||
and a tighter tool policy:
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
agents: {
|
||||
list: [
|
||||
{
|
||||
id: "family",
|
||||
name: "Family",
|
||||
workspace: "~/.openclaw/workspace-family",
|
||||
identity: { name: "Family Bot" },
|
||||
groupChat: {
|
||||
mentionPatterns: ["@family", "@familybot", "@Family Bot"],
|
||||
},
|
||||
sandbox: {
|
||||
mode: "all",
|
||||
scope: "agent",
|
||||
},
|
||||
tools: {
|
||||
allow: [
|
||||
"exec",
|
||||
"read",
|
||||
"sessions_list",
|
||||
"sessions_history",
|
||||
"sessions_send",
|
||||
"sessions_spawn",
|
||||
"session_status",
|
||||
],
|
||||
deny: ["write", "edit", "apply_patch", "browser", "canvas", "nodes", "cron"],
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
],
|
||||
},
|
||||
bindings: [
|
||||
{
|
||||
agentId: "family",
|
||||
match: {
|
||||
channel: "whatsapp",
|
||||
peer: { kind: "group", id: "120363999999999999@g.us" },
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
],
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Notes:
|
||||
|
||||
- Tool allow/deny lists are **tools**, not skills. If a skill needs to run a
|
||||
binary, ensure `exec` is allowed and the binary exists in the sandbox.
|
||||
- For stricter gating, set `agents.list[].groupChat.mentionPatterns` and keep
|
||||
group allowlists enabled for the channel.
|
||||
|
||||
## Per-Agent Sandbox and Tool Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
Starting with v2026.1.6, each agent can have its own sandbox and tool restrictions:
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
{
|
||||
agents: {
|
||||
list: [
|
||||
{
|
||||
id: "personal",
|
||||
workspace: "~/.openclaw/workspace-personal",
|
||||
sandbox: {
|
||||
mode: "off", // No sandbox for personal agent
|
||||
},
|
||||
// No tool restrictions - all tools available
|
||||
},
|
||||
{
|
||||
id: "family",
|
||||
workspace: "~/.openclaw/workspace-family",
|
||||
sandbox: {
|
||||
mode: "all", // Always sandboxed
|
||||
scope: "agent", // One container per agent
|
||||
docker: {
|
||||
// Optional one-time setup after container creation
|
||||
setupCommand: "apt-get update && apt-get install -y git curl",
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
tools: {
|
||||
allow: ["read"], // Only read tool
|
||||
deny: ["exec", "write", "edit", "apply_patch"], // Deny others
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
],
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Note: `setupCommand` lives under `sandbox.docker` and runs once on container creation.
|
||||
Per-agent `sandbox.docker.*` overrides are ignored when the resolved scope is `"shared"`.
|
||||
|
||||
**Benefits:**
|
||||
|
||||
- **Security isolation**: Restrict tools for untrusted agents
|
||||
- **Resource control**: Sandbox specific agents while keeping others on host
|
||||
- **Flexible policies**: Different permissions per agent
|
||||
|
||||
Note: `tools.elevated` is **global** and sender-based; it is not configurable per agent.
|
||||
If you need per-agent boundaries, use `agents.list[].tools` to deny `exec`.
|
||||
For group targeting, use `agents.list[].groupChat.mentionPatterns` so @mentions map cleanly to the intended agent.
|
||||
|
||||

summary: "OAuth in OpenClaw: token exchange, storage, and multi-account patterns"
|
||||
read_when:
|
||||
- You want to understand OpenClaw OAuth end-to-end

||||
- You hit token invalidation / logout issues
|
||||
- You want setup-token or OAuth auth flows
|

# OAuth
|
||||
|
||||
OpenClaw supports “subscription auth” via OAuth for providers that offer it (notably **OpenAI Codex (ChatGPT OAuth)**). For Anthropic subscriptions, use the **setup-token** flow. This page explains:
|
||||
|
||||
- how the OAuth **token exchange** works (PKCE)
|
||||
- where tokens are **stored** (and why)
|
||||
- how to handle **multiple accounts** (profiles + per-session overrides)
|
||||
|
||||
OpenClaw also supports **provider plugins** that ship their own OAuth or API‑key
|
||||
flows. Run them via:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw models auth login --provider <id>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## The token sink (why it exists)
|
||||
|
||||
OAuth providers commonly mint a **new refresh token** during login/refresh flows. Some providers (or OAuth clients) can invalidate older refresh tokens when a new one is issued for the same user/app.
|
||||
|
||||
Practical symptom:
|
||||
|
||||
- you log in via OpenClaw _and_ via Claude Code / Codex CLI → one of them randomly gets “logged out” later
|
||||
|
||||
To reduce that, OpenClaw treats `auth-profiles.json` as a **token sink**:
|
||||
|
||||
- the runtime reads credentials from **one place**
|
||||
- we can keep multiple profiles and route them deterministically
|
||||
|
||||
## Storage (where tokens live)
|
||||
|
||||
Secrets are stored **per-agent**:
|
||||
|
||||
- Auth profiles (OAuth + API keys): `~/.openclaw/agents/<agentId>/agent/auth-profiles.json`
|
||||
- Runtime cache (managed automatically; don’t edit): `~/.openclaw/agents/<agentId>/agent/auth.json`
|
||||
|
||||
Legacy import-only file (still supported, but not the main store):
|
||||
|
||||
- `~/.openclaw/credentials/oauth.json` (imported into `auth-profiles.json` on first use)
|
||||
|
||||
All of the above also respect `$OPENCLAW_STATE_DIR` (state dir override). Full reference: [/gateway/configuration](/gateway/configuration#auth-storage-oauth--api-keys)
|
||||
|
||||
## Anthropic setup-token (subscription auth)
|
||||
|
||||
Run `claude setup-token` on any machine, then paste it into OpenClaw:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw models auth setup-token --provider anthropic
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If you generated the token elsewhere, paste it manually:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw models auth paste-token --provider anthropic
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Verify:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw models status
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## OAuth exchange (how login works)
|
||||
|
||||
OpenClaw’s interactive login flows are implemented in `@mariozechner/pi-ai` and wired into the wizards/commands.
|
||||
|
||||
### Anthropic (Claude Pro/Max) setup-token
|
||||
|
||||
Flow shape:
|
||||
|
||||
1. run `claude setup-token`
|
||||
2. paste the token into OpenClaw
|
||||
3. store as a token auth profile (no refresh)
|
||||
|
||||
The wizard path is `openclaw onboard` → auth choice `setup-token` (Anthropic).
|
||||
|
||||
### OpenAI Codex (ChatGPT OAuth)
|
||||
|
||||
Flow shape (PKCE):
|
||||
|
||||
1. generate PKCE verifier/challenge + random `state`
|
||||
2. open `https://auth.openai.com/oauth/authorize?...`
|
||||
3. try to capture callback on `http://127.0.0.1:1455/auth/callback`
|
||||
4. if callback can’t bind (or you’re remote/headless), paste the redirect URL/code
|
||||
5. exchange at `https://auth.openai.com/oauth/token`
|
||||
6. extract `accountId` from the access token and store `{ access, refresh, expires, accountId }`
|
||||
|
||||
Wizard path is `openclaw onboard` → auth choice `openai-codex`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Refresh + expiry
|
||||
|
||||
Profiles store an `expires` timestamp.
|
||||
|
||||
At runtime:
|
||||
|
||||
- if `expires` is in the future → use the stored access token
|
||||
- if expired → refresh (under a file lock) and overwrite the stored credentials
|
||||
|
||||
The refresh flow is automatic; you generally don't need to manage tokens manually.
|
||||
|
||||
## Multiple accounts (profiles) + routing
|
||||
|
||||
Two patterns:
|
||||
|
||||
### 1) Preferred: separate agents
|
||||
|
||||
If you want “personal” and “work” to never interact, use isolated agents (separate sessions + credentials + workspace):
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw agents add work
|
||||
openclaw agents add personal
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Then configure auth per-agent (wizard) and route chats to the right agent.
|
||||
|
||||
### 2) Advanced: multiple profiles in one agent
|
||||
|
||||
`auth-profiles.json` supports multiple profile IDs for the same provider.
|
||||
|
||||
Pick which profile is used:
|
||||
|
||||
- globally via config ordering (`auth.order`)
|
||||
- per-session via `/model ...@<profileId>`
|
||||
|
||||
Example (session override):
|
||||
|
||||
- `/model Opus@anthropic:work`
|
||||
|
||||
How to see what profile IDs exist:
|
||||
|
||||
- `openclaw channels list --json` (shows `auth[]`)

# Presence
|
||||
|
||||
OpenClaw “presence” is a lightweight, best‑effort view of:
|
||||
|
||||
- the **Gateway** itself, and
|
||||
- **clients connected to the Gateway** (mac app, WebChat, CLI, etc.)
|
||||
|
||||
Presence is used primarily to render the macOS app’s **Instances** tab and to
|
||||
provide quick operator visibility.
|
||||
|
||||
## Presence fields (what shows up)
|
||||
|
||||
Presence entries are structured objects with fields like:
|
||||
|
||||
- `instanceId` (optional but strongly recommended): stable client identity (usually `connect.client.instanceId`)
|
||||
- `host`: human‑friendly host name
|
||||
- `ip`: best‑effort IP address
|
||||
- `version`: client version string
|
||||
- `deviceFamily` / `modelIdentifier`: hardware hints
|
||||
- `mode`: `ui`, `webchat`, `cli`, `backend`, `probe`, `test`, `node`, ...
|
||||
- `lastInputSeconds`: “seconds since last user input” (if known)
|
||||
- `reason`: `self`, `connect`, `node-connected`, `periodic`, ...
|
||||
- `ts`: last update timestamp (ms since epoch)
|
||||
|
||||
## Producers (where presence comes from)
|
||||
|
||||
Presence entries are produced by multiple sources and **merged**.
|
||||
|
||||
### 1) Gateway self entry
|
||||
|
||||
The Gateway always seeds a “self” entry at startup so UIs show the gateway host
|
||||
even before any clients connect.
|
||||
|
||||
### 2) WebSocket connect
|
||||
|
||||
Every WS client begins with a `connect` request. On successful handshake the
|
||||
Gateway upserts a presence entry for that connection.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Why one‑off CLI commands don’t show up
|
||||
|
||||
The CLI often connects for short, one‑off commands. To avoid spamming the
|
||||
Instances list, `client.mode === "cli"` is **not** turned into a presence entry.
|
||||
|
||||
### 3) `system-event` beacons
|
||||
|
||||
Clients can send richer periodic beacons via the `system-event` method. The mac
|
||||
app uses this to report host name, IP, and `lastInputSeconds`.
|
||||
|
||||
### 4) Node connects (role: node)
|
||||
|
||||
When a node connects over the Gateway WebSocket with `role: node`, the Gateway
|
||||
upserts a presence entry for that node (same flow as other WS clients).
|
||||
|
||||
## Merge + dedupe rules (why `instanceId` matters)
|
||||
|
||||
Presence entries are stored in a single in‑memory map:
|
||||
|
||||
- Entries are keyed by a **presence key**.
|
||||
- The best key is a stable `instanceId` (from `connect.client.instanceId`) that survives restarts.
|
||||
- Keys are case‑insensitive.
|
||||
|
||||
If a client reconnects without a stable `instanceId`, it may show up as a
|
||||
**duplicate** row.
|
||||
|
||||
## TTL and bounded size
|
||||
|
||||
Presence is intentionally ephemeral:
|
||||
|
||||
- **TTL:** entries older than 5 minutes are pruned
|
||||
- **Max entries:** 200 (oldest dropped first)
|
||||
|
||||
This keeps the list fresh and avoids unbounded memory growth.
|
||||
|
||||
## Remote/tunnel caveat (loopback IPs)
|
||||
|
||||
When a client connects over an SSH tunnel / local port forward, the Gateway may
|
||||
see the remote address as `127.0.0.1`. To avoid overwriting a good client‑reported
|
||||
IP, loopback remote addresses are ignored.
|
||||
|
||||
## Consumers
|
||||
|
||||
### macOS Instances tab
|
||||
|
||||
The macOS app renders the output of `system-presence` and applies a small status
|
||||
indicator (Active/Idle/Stale) based on the age of the last update.
|
||||
|
||||
## Debugging tips
|
||||
|
||||
- To see the raw list, call `system-presence` against the Gateway.
|
||||
- If you see duplicates:
|
||||
- confirm clients send a stable `client.instanceId` in the handshake
|
||||
- confirm periodic beacons use the same `instanceId`
|
||||
- check whether the connection‑derived entry is missing `instanceId` (duplicates are expected)

summary: "Command queue design that serializes inbound auto-reply runs"
|
||||
read_when:
|
||||
- Changing auto-reply execution or concurrency
|
||||
title: "Command Queue"
|

|

|

# Command Queue (2026-01-16)
|
||||
|
||||
We serialize inbound auto-reply runs (all channels) through a tiny in-process queue to prevent multiple agent runs from colliding, while still allowing safe parallelism across sessions.
|
||||
|
||||
## Why
|
||||
|
||||
- Auto-reply runs can be expensive (LLM calls) and can collide when multiple inbound messages arrive close together.
|
||||
- Serializing avoids competing for shared resources (session files, logs, CLI stdin) and reduces the chance of upstream rate limits.
|
||||
|
||||
## How it works
|
||||
|
||||
- A lane-aware FIFO queue drains each lane with a configurable concurrency cap (default 1 for unconfigured lanes; main defaults to 4, subagent to 8).
|
||||
- `runEmbeddedPiAgent` enqueues by **session key** (lane `session:<key>`) to guarantee only one active run per session.
|
||||
- Each session run is then queued into a **global lane** (`main` by default) so overall parallelism is capped by `agents.defaults.maxConcurrent`.
|
||||
- When verbose logging is enabled, queued runs emit a short notice if they waited more than ~2s before starting.
|
||||
- Typing indicators still fire immediately on enqueue (when supported by the channel) so user experience is unchanged while we wait our turn.
|
||||
|
||||
## Queue modes (per channel)
|
||||
|
||||
Inbound messages can steer the current run, wait for a followup turn, or do both:
|
||||
|
||||
- `steer`: inject immediately into the current run (cancels pending tool calls after the next tool boundary). If not streaming, falls back to followup.
|
||||
- `followup`: enqueue for the next agent turn after the current run ends.
|
||||
- `collect`: coalesce all queued messages into a **single** followup turn (default). If messages target different channels/threads, they drain individually to preserve routing.
|
||||
- `steer-backlog` (aka `steer+backlog`): steer now **and** preserve the message for a followup turn.
|
||||
- `interrupt` (legacy): abort the active run for that session, then run the newest message.
|
||||
- `queue` (legacy alias): same as `steer`.
|
||||
|
||||
Steer-backlog means you can get a followup response after the steered run, so
|
||||
streaming surfaces can look like duplicates. Prefer `collect`/`steer` if you want
|
||||
one response per inbound message.
|
||||
Send `/queue collect` as a standalone command (per-session) or set `messages.queue.byChannel.discord: "collect"`.
|
||||
|
||||
Defaults (when unset in config):
|
||||
|
||||
- All surfaces → `collect`
|
||||
|
||||
Configure globally or per channel via `messages.queue`:
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{

}
|

|
||||
|
||||
## Queue options
|
||||
|
||||
Options apply to `followup`, `collect`, and `steer-backlog` (and to `steer` when it falls back to followup):
|
||||
|
||||
- `debounceMs`: wait for quiet before starting a followup turn (prevents “continue, continue”).
|
||||
- `cap`: max queued messages per session.
|
||||
- `drop`: overflow policy (`old`, `new`, `summarize`).
|
||||
|
||||
Summarize keeps a short bullet list of dropped messages and injects it as a synthetic followup prompt.
|
||||
Defaults: `debounceMs: 1000`, `cap: 20`, `drop: summarize`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Per-session overrides
|
||||
|
||||
- Send `/queue <mode>` as a standalone command to store the mode for the current session.
|
||||
- Options can be combined: `/queue collect debounce:2s cap:25 drop:summarize`
|
||||
- `/queue default` or `/queue reset` clears the session override.
|
||||
|
||||
## Scope and guarantees
|
||||
|
||||
- Applies to auto-reply agent runs across all inbound channels that use the gateway reply pipeline (WhatsApp web, Telegram, Slack, Discord, Signal, iMessage, webchat, etc.).
|
||||
- Default lane (`main`) is process-wide for inbound + main heartbeats; set `agents.defaults.maxConcurrent` to allow multiple sessions in parallel.
|
||||
- Additional lanes may exist (e.g. `cron`, `subagent`) so background jobs can run in parallel without blocking inbound replies.
|
||||
- Per-session lanes guarantee that only one agent run touches a given session at a time.
|
||||
- No external dependencies or background worker threads; pure TypeScript + promises.
|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
- If commands seem stuck, enable verbose logs and look for “queued for …ms” lines to confirm the queue is draining.
|
||||
- If you need queue depth, enable verbose logs and watch for queue timing lines.

# Retry policy
|
||||
|
||||
## Goals
|
||||
|
||||
- Retry per HTTP request, not per multi-step flow.
|
||||
- Preserve ordering by retrying only the current step.
|
||||
- Avoid duplicating non-idempotent operations.
|
||||
|
||||
## Defaults
|
||||
|
||||
- Attempts: 3
|
||||
- Max delay cap: 30000 ms
|
||||
- Jitter: 0.1 (10 percent)
|
||||
- Provider defaults:
|
||||
- Telegram min delay: 400 ms
|
||||
- Discord min delay: 500 ms
|
||||
|
||||
## Behavior
|
||||
|
||||
### Discord
|
||||
|
||||
- Retries only on rate-limit errors (HTTP 429).
|
||||
- Uses Discord `retry_after` when available, otherwise exponential backoff.
|
||||
|
||||
### Telegram
|
||||
|
||||
- Retries on transient errors (429, timeout, connect/reset/closed, temporarily unavailable).
|
||||
- Uses `retry_after` when available, otherwise exponential backoff.
|
||||
- Markdown parse errors are not retried; they fall back to plain text.
|
||||
|
||||
## Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
Set retry policy per provider in `~/.openclaw/openclaw.json`:
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
channels: {
|
||||
telegram: {
|
||||
retry: {
|
||||
attempts: 3,
|
||||
minDelayMs: 400,
|
||||
maxDelayMs: 30000,
|
||||
jitter: 0.1,
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
discord: {
|
||||
retry: {
|
||||
attempts: 3,
|
||||
minDelayMs: 500,

||||
jitter: 0.1,
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Notes
|
||||
|
||||
- Retries apply per request (message send, media upload, reaction, poll, sticker).
|
||||
- Composite flows do not retry completed steps.

summary: "Session pruning: tool-result trimming to reduce context bloat"
|
||||
read_when:

- You want to reduce LLM context growth from tool outputs
|
||||
- You are tuning agents.defaults.contextPruning

# Session Pruning
|
||||
|
||||
Session pruning trims **old tool results** from the in-memory context right before each LLM call. It does **not** rewrite the on-disk session history (`*.jsonl`).
|
||||
|
||||
## When it runs
|
||||
|
||||
- When `mode: "cache-ttl"` is enabled and the last Anthropic call for the session is older than `ttl`.
|
||||
- Only affects the messages sent to the model for that request.
|
||||
- Only active for Anthropic API calls (and OpenRouter Anthropic models).
|
||||
- For best results, match `ttl` to your model `cacheControlTtl`.
|
||||
- After a prune, the TTL window resets so subsequent requests keep cache until `ttl` expires again.
|
||||
|
||||
## Smart defaults (Anthropic)
|
||||
|
||||
- **OAuth or setup-token** profiles: enable `cache-ttl` pruning and set heartbeat to `1h`.
|
||||
- **API key** profiles: enable `cache-ttl` pruning, set heartbeat to `30m`, and default `cacheControlTtl` to `1h` on Anthropic models.
|
||||
- If you set any of these values explicitly, OpenClaw does **not** override them.
|
||||
|
||||
## What this improves (cost + cache behavior)
|
||||
|
||||
- **Why prune:** Anthropic prompt caching only applies within the TTL. If a session goes idle past the TTL, the next request re-caches the full prompt unless you trim it first.
|
||||
- **What gets cheaper:** pruning reduces the **cacheWrite** size for that first request after the TTL expires.
|
||||
- **Why the TTL reset matters:** once pruning runs, the cache window resets, so follow‑up requests can reuse the freshly cached prompt instead of re-caching the full history again.
|
||||
- **What it does not do:** pruning doesn’t add tokens or “double” costs; it only changes what gets cached on that first post‑TTL request.
|
||||
|
||||
## What can be pruned
|
||||
|
||||
- Only `toolResult` messages.
|
||||
- User + assistant messages are **never** modified.
|
||||
- The last `keepLastAssistants` assistant messages are protected; tool results after that cutoff are not pruned.
|
||||
- If there aren’t enough assistant messages to establish the cutoff, pruning is skipped.
|
||||
- Tool results containing **image blocks** are skipped (never trimmed/cleared).
|
||||
|
||||
## Context window estimation
|
||||
|
||||
Pruning uses an estimated context window (chars ≈ tokens × 4). The base window is resolved in this order:
|
||||
|
||||
1. `models.providers.*.models[].contextWindow` override.
|
||||
2. Model definition `contextWindow` (from the model registry).
|
||||
3. Default `200000` tokens.
|
||||
|
||||
If `agents.defaults.contextTokens` is set, it is treated as a cap (min) on the resolved window.
|
||||
|
||||
## Mode
|
||||
|
||||
### cache-ttl
|
||||
|
||||
- Pruning only runs if the last Anthropic call is older than `ttl` (default `5m`).
|
||||
- When it runs: same soft-trim + hard-clear behavior as before.
|
||||
|
||||
## Soft vs hard pruning
|
||||
|
||||
- **Soft-trim**: only for oversized tool results.
|
||||
- Keeps head + tail, inserts `...`, and appends a note with the original size.
|
||||
- Skips results with image blocks.
|
||||
- **Hard-clear**: replaces the entire tool result with `hardClear.placeholder`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Tool selection
|
||||
|
||||
- `tools.allow` / `tools.deny` support `*` wildcards.
|
||||
- Deny wins.
|
||||
- Matching is case-insensitive.
|
||||
- Empty allow list => all tools allowed.
|
||||
|
||||
## Interaction with other limits
|
||||
|
||||
- Built-in tools already truncate their own output; session pruning is an extra layer that prevents long-running chats from accumulating too much tool output in the model context.
|
||||
- Compaction is separate: compaction summarizes and persists, pruning is transient per request. See [/concepts/compaction](/concepts/compaction).
|
||||
|
||||
## Defaults (when enabled)
|
||||
|
||||
- `ttl`: `"5m"`
|
||||
- `keepLastAssistants`: `3`
|
||||
- `softTrimRatio`: `0.3`
|
||||
- `hardClearRatio`: `0.5`
|
||||
- `minPrunableToolChars`: `50000`
|
||||
- `softTrim`: `{ maxChars: 4000, headChars: 1500, tailChars: 1500 }`
|
||||
- `hardClear`: `{ enabled: true, placeholder: "[Old tool result content cleared]" }`
|
||||
|
||||
## Examples
|
||||
|
||||
Default (off):
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
agent: {
|
||||
contextPruning: { mode: "off" },
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Enable TTL-aware pruning:
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
agent: {
|
||||
contextPruning: { mode: "cache-ttl", ttl: "5m" },
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Restrict pruning to specific tools:
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
agent: {
|
||||
contextPruning: {
|
||||
mode: "cache-ttl",

||||
tools: { allow: ["exec", "read"], deny: ["*image*"] },

||||
},
|
||||

title: "Session Tools"

# Session Tools
|
||||
|
||||
Goal: small, hard-to-misuse tool set so agents can list sessions, fetch history, and send to another session.
|
||||
|
||||
## Tool Names
|
||||
|
||||
- `sessions_list`
|
||||
- `sessions_history`
|
||||
- `sessions_send`
|
||||
- `sessions_spawn`
|
||||
|
||||
## Key Model
|
||||
|
||||
- Main direct chat bucket is always the literal key `"main"` (resolved to the current agent’s main key).
|
||||
- Group chats use `agent:<agentId>:<channel>:group:<id>` or `agent:<agentId>:<channel>:channel:<id>` (pass the full key).
|
||||
- Cron jobs use `cron:<job.id>`.
|
||||
- Hooks use `hook:<uuid>` unless explicitly set.
|
||||
- Node sessions use `node-<nodeId>` unless explicitly set.
|
||||
|
||||
`global` and `unknown` are reserved values and are never listed. If `session.scope = "global"`, we alias it to `main` for all tools so callers never see `global`.
|
||||
|
||||
## sessions_list
|
||||
|
||||
List sessions as an array of rows.
|
||||
|
||||
Parameters:
|
||||
|
||||
- `kinds?: string[]` filter: any of `"main" | "group" | "cron" | "hook" | "node" | "other"`
|
||||
- `limit?: number` max rows (default: server default, clamp e.g. 200)
|
||||
- `activeMinutes?: number` only sessions updated within N minutes
|
||||
- `messageLimit?: number` 0 = no messages (default 0); >0 = include last N messages
|
||||
|
||||
Behavior:
|
||||
|
||||
- `messageLimit > 0` fetches `chat.history` per session and includes the last N messages.
|
||||
- Tool results are filtered out in list output; use `sessions_history` for tool messages.
|
||||
- When running in a **sandboxed** agent session, session tools default to **spawned-only visibility** (see below).
|
||||
|
||||
Row shape (JSON):
|
||||
|
||||
- `key`: session key (string)
|
||||
- `kind`: `main | group | cron | hook | node | other`
|
||||
- `channel`: `whatsapp | telegram | discord | signal | imessage | webchat | internal | unknown`
|
||||
- `displayName` (group display label if available)
|
||||
- `updatedAt` (ms)
|
||||
- `sessionId`
|
||||
- `model`, `contextTokens`, `totalTokens`
|
||||
- `thinkingLevel`, `verboseLevel`, `systemSent`, `abortedLastRun`
|
||||
- `sendPolicy` (session override if set)
|
||||
- `lastChannel`, `lastTo`
|
||||
- `deliveryContext` (normalized `{ channel, to, accountId }` when available)
|
||||
- `transcriptPath` (best-effort path derived from store dir + sessionId)
|
||||
- `messages?` (only when `messageLimit > 0`)
|
||||
|
||||
## sessions_history
|
||||
|
||||
Fetch transcript for one session.
|
||||
|
||||
Parameters:
|
||||
|
||||
- `sessionKey` (required; accepts session key or `sessionId` from `sessions_list`)
|
||||
- `limit?: number` max messages (server clamps)
|
||||
- `includeTools?: boolean` (default false)
|
||||
|
||||
Behavior:
|
||||
|
||||
- `includeTools=false` filters `role: "toolResult"` messages.
|
||||
- Returns messages array in the raw transcript format.
|
||||
- When given a `sessionId`, OpenClaw resolves it to the corresponding session key (missing ids error).
|
||||
|
||||
## sessions_send
|
||||
|
||||
Send a message into another session.
|
||||
|
||||
Parameters:
|
||||
|
||||
- `sessionKey` (required; accepts session key or `sessionId` from `sessions_list`)
|
||||
- `message` (required)
|
||||
- `timeoutSeconds?: number` (default >0; 0 = fire-and-forget)
|
||||
|
||||
Behavior:
|
||||
|
||||
- `timeoutSeconds = 0`: enqueue and return `{ runId, status: "accepted" }`.
|
||||
- `timeoutSeconds > 0`: wait up to N seconds for completion, then return `{ runId, status: "ok", reply }`.
|
||||
- If wait times out: `{ runId, status: "timeout", error }`. Run continues; call `sessions_history` later.
|
||||
- If the run fails: `{ runId, status: "error", error }`.
|
||||
- Announce delivery runs after the primary run completes and is best-effort; `status: "ok"` does not guarantee the announce was delivered.
|
||||
- Waits via gateway `agent.wait` (server-side) so reconnects don't drop the wait.
|
||||
- Agent-to-agent message context is injected for the primary run.
|
||||
- After the primary run completes, OpenClaw runs a **reply-back loop**:
|
||||
- Round 2+ alternates between requester and target agents.
|
||||
- Reply exactly `REPLY_SKIP` to stop the ping‑pong.
|
||||
- Max turns is `session.agentToAgent.maxPingPongTurns` (0–5, default 5).
|
||||
- Once the loop ends, OpenClaw runs the **agent‑to‑agent announce step** (target agent only):
|
||||
- Reply exactly `ANNOUNCE_SKIP` to stay silent.
|
||||
- Any other reply is sent to the target channel.
|
||||
- Announce step includes the original request + round‑1 reply + latest ping‑pong reply.
|
||||
|
||||
## Channel Field
|
||||
|
||||
- For groups, `channel` is the channel recorded on the session entry.
|
||||
- For direct chats, `channel` maps from `lastChannel`.
|
||||
- For cron/hook/node, `channel` is `internal`.
|
||||
- If missing, `channel` is `unknown`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Security / Send Policy
|
||||
|
||||
Policy-based blocking by channel/chat type (not per session id).
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"session": {
|
||||
"sendPolicy": {
|
||||
"rules": [
|
||||
{
|
||||
"match": { "channel": "discord", "chatType": "group" },
|
||||
"action": "deny"
|
||||
}
|
||||
],
|
||||
"default": "allow"
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Runtime override (per session entry):
|
||||
|
||||
- `sendPolicy: "allow" | "deny"` (unset = inherit config)
|
||||
- Settable via `sessions.patch` or owner-only `/send on|off|inherit` (standalone message).
|
||||
|
||||
Enforcement points:
|
||||
|
||||
- `chat.send` / `agent` (gateway)
|
||||
- auto-reply delivery logic
|
||||
|
||||
## sessions_spawn
|
||||
|
||||
Spawn a sub-agent run in an isolated session and announce the result back to the requester chat channel.
|
||||
|
||||
Parameters:
|
||||
|
||||
- `task` (required)
|
||||
- `label?` (optional; used for logs/UI)
|
||||
- `agentId?` (optional; spawn under another agent id if allowed)
|
||||
- `model?` (optional; overrides the sub-agent model; invalid values error)
|
||||
- `runTimeoutSeconds?` (default 0; when set, aborts the sub-agent run after N seconds)
|
||||
- `cleanup?` (`delete|keep`, default `keep`)
|
||||
|
||||
Allowlist:
|
||||
|
||||
- `agents.list[].subagents.allowAgents`: list of agent ids allowed via `agentId` (`["*"]` to allow any). Default: only the requester agent.
|
||||
|
||||
Discovery:
|
||||
|
||||
- Use `agents_list` to discover which agent ids are allowed for `sessions_spawn`.
|
||||
|
||||
Behavior:
|
||||
|
||||
- Starts a new `agent:<agentId>:subagent:<uuid>` session with `deliver: false`.
|
||||
- Sub-agents default to the full tool set **minus session tools** (configurable via `tools.subagents.tools`).
|
||||
- Sub-agents are not allowed to call `sessions_spawn` (no sub-agent → sub-agent spawning).
|
||||
- Always non-blocking: returns `{ status: "accepted", runId, childSessionKey }` immediately.
|
||||
- After completion, OpenClaw runs a sub-agent **announce step** and posts the result to the requester chat channel.
|
||||
- Reply exactly `ANNOUNCE_SKIP` during the announce step to stay silent.
|
||||
- Announce replies are normalized to `Status`/`Result`/`Notes`; `Status` comes from runtime outcome (not model text).
|
||||
- Sub-agent sessions are auto-archived after `agents.defaults.subagents.archiveAfterMinutes` (default: 60).
|
||||
- Announce replies include a stats line (runtime, tokens, sessionKey/sessionId, transcript path, and optional cost).
|
||||
|
||||
## Sandbox Session Visibility
|
||||
|
||||
Sandboxed sessions can use session tools, but by default they only see sessions they spawned via `sessions_spawn`.
|
||||
|
||||
Config:
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
agents: {
|
||||
defaults: {
|
||||
sandbox: {

sessionToolsVisibility: "spawned", // or "all"

# Session Management
|
||||
|
||||
OpenClaw treats **one direct-chat session per agent** as primary. Direct chats collapse to `agent:<agentId>:<mainKey>` (default `main`), while group/channel chats get their own keys. `session.mainKey` is honored.
|
||||
|
||||
Use `session.dmScope` to control how **direct messages** are grouped:
|
||||
|
||||
- `main` (default): all DMs share the main session for continuity.
|
||||
- `per-peer`: isolate by sender id across channels.
|
||||
- `per-channel-peer`: isolate by channel + sender (recommended for multi-user inboxes).
|
||||
- `per-account-channel-peer`: isolate by account + channel + sender (recommended for multi-account inboxes).
|
||||
Use `session.identityLinks` to map provider-prefixed peer ids to a canonical identity so the same person shares a DM session across channels when using `per-peer`, `per-channel-peer`, or `per-account-channel-peer`.
|
||||
|
||||
### Secure DM mode (recommended)
|
||||
|
||||
If your agent can receive DMs from **multiple people** (pairing approvals for more than one sender, a DM allowlist with multiple entries, or `dmPolicy: "open"`), enable **secure DM mode** to avoid cross-user context leakage:
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
// ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json
|
||||
{
|
||||
session: {
|
||||
// Secure DM mode: isolate DM context per channel + sender.
|
||||
dmScope: "per-channel-peer",
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Notes:
|
||||
|
||||
- Default is `dmScope: "main"` for continuity (all DMs share the main session).
|
||||
- For multi-account inboxes on the same channel, prefer `per-account-channel-peer`.
|
||||
- If the same person contacts you on multiple channels, use `session.identityLinks` to collapse their DM sessions into one canonical identity.
|
||||
|
||||
## Gateway is the source of truth
|
||||
|
||||
All session state is **owned by the gateway** (the “master” OpenClaw). UI clients (macOS app, WebChat, etc.) must query the gateway for session lists and token counts instead of reading local files.
|
||||
|
||||
- In **remote mode**, the session store you care about lives on the remote gateway host, not your Mac.
|
||||
- Token counts shown in UIs come from the gateway’s store fields (`inputTokens`, `outputTokens`, `totalTokens`, `contextTokens`). Clients do not parse JSONL transcripts to “fix up” totals.
|
||||
|
||||
## Where state lives
|
||||
|
||||
- On the **gateway host**:
|
||||
- Store file: `~/.openclaw/agents/<agentId>/sessions/sessions.json` (per agent).
|
||||
- Transcripts: `~/.openclaw/agents/<agentId>/sessions/<SessionId>.jsonl` (Telegram topic sessions use `.../<SessionId>-topic-<threadId>.jsonl`).
|
||||
- The store is a map `sessionKey -> { sessionId, updatedAt, ... }`. Deleting entries is safe; they are recreated on demand.
|
||||
- Group entries may include `displayName`, `channel`, `subject`, `room`, and `space` to label sessions in UIs.
|
||||
- Session entries include `origin` metadata (label + routing hints) so UIs can explain where a session came from.
|
||||
- OpenClaw does **not** read legacy Pi/Tau session folders.
|
||||
|
||||
## Session pruning
|
||||
|
||||
OpenClaw trims **old tool results** from the in-memory context right before LLM calls by default.
|
||||
This does **not** rewrite JSONL history. See [/concepts/session-pruning](/concepts/session-pruning).
|
||||
|
||||
## Pre-compaction memory flush
|
||||
|
||||
When a session nears auto-compaction, OpenClaw can run a **silent memory flush**
|
||||
turn that reminds the model to write durable notes to disk. This only runs when
|
||||
the workspace is writable. See [Memory](/concepts/memory) and
|
||||
[Compaction](/concepts/compaction).
|
||||
|
||||
## Mapping transports → session keys
|
||||
|
||||
- Direct chats follow `session.dmScope` (default `main`).
|
||||
- `main`: `agent:<agentId>:<mainKey>` (continuity across devices/channels).
|
||||
- Multiple phone numbers and channels can map to the same agent main key; they act as transports into one conversation.
|
||||
- `per-peer`: `agent:<agentId>:dm:<peerId>`.
|
||||
- `per-channel-peer`: `agent:<agentId>:<channel>:dm:<peerId>`.
|
||||
- `per-account-channel-peer`: `agent:<agentId>:<channel>:<accountId>:dm:<peerId>` (accountId defaults to `default`).
|
||||
- If `session.identityLinks` matches a provider-prefixed peer id (for example `telegram:123`), the canonical key replaces `<peerId>` so the same person shares a session across channels.
|
||||
- Group chats isolate state: `agent:<agentId>:<channel>:group:<id>` (rooms/channels use `agent:<agentId>:<channel>:channel:<id>`).
|
||||
- Telegram forum topics append `:topic:<threadId>` to the group id for isolation.
|
||||
- Legacy `group:<id>` keys are still recognized for migration.
|
||||
- Inbound contexts may still use `group:<id>`; the channel is inferred from `Provider` and normalized to the canonical `agent:<agentId>:<channel>:group:<id>` form.
|
||||
- Other sources:
|
||||
- Cron jobs: `cron:<job.id>`
|
||||
- Webhooks: `hook:<uuid>` (unless explicitly set by the hook)
|
||||
- Node runs: `node-<nodeId>`
|
||||
|
||||
## Lifecycle
|
||||
|
||||
- Reset policy: sessions are reused until they expire, and expiry is evaluated on the next inbound message.
|
||||
- Daily reset: defaults to **4:00 AM local time on the gateway host**. A session is stale once its last update is earlier than the most recent daily reset time.
|
||||
- Idle reset (optional): `idleMinutes` adds a sliding idle window. When both daily and idle resets are configured, **whichever expires first** forces a new session.
|
||||
- Legacy idle-only: if you set `session.idleMinutes` without any `session.reset`/`resetByType` config, OpenClaw stays in idle-only mode for backward compatibility.
|
||||
- Per-type overrides (optional): `resetByType` lets you override the policy for `dm`, `group`, and `thread` sessions (thread = Slack/Discord threads, Telegram topics, Matrix threads when provided by the connector).
|
||||
- Per-channel overrides (optional): `resetByChannel` overrides the reset policy for a channel (applies to all session types for that channel and takes precedence over `reset`/`resetByType`).
|
||||
- Reset triggers: exact `/new` or `/reset` (plus any extras in `resetTriggers`) start a fresh session id and pass the remainder of the message through. `/new <model>` accepts a model alias, `provider/model`, or provider name (fuzzy match) to set the new session model. If `/new` or `/reset` is sent alone, OpenClaw runs a short “hello” greeting turn to confirm the reset.
|
||||
- Manual reset: delete specific keys from the store or remove the JSONL transcript; the next message recreates them.
|
||||
- Isolated cron jobs always mint a fresh `sessionId` per run (no idle reuse).
|
||||
|
||||
## Send policy (optional)
|
||||
|
||||
Block delivery for specific session types without listing individual ids.
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
session: {
|
||||
sendPolicy: {
|
||||
rules: [
|
||||
{ action: "deny", match: { channel: "discord", chatType: "group" } },
|
||||
{ action: "deny", match: { keyPrefix: "cron:" } },
|
||||
],
|
||||
default: "allow",
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Runtime override (owner only):
|
||||
|
||||
- `/send on` → allow for this session
|
||||
- `/send off` → deny for this session
|
||||
- `/send inherit` → clear override and use config rules
|
||||
Send these as standalone messages so they register.
|
||||
|
||||
## Configuration (optional rename example)
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
// ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json
|
||||
{
|
||||
session: {
|
||||
scope: "per-sender", // keep group keys separate
|
||||
dmScope: "main", // DM continuity (set per-channel-peer/per-account-channel-peer for shared inboxes)
|
||||
identityLinks: {
|
||||
alice: ["telegram:123456789", "discord:987654321012345678"],
|
||||
},
|
||||
reset: {
|
||||
// Defaults: mode=daily, atHour=4 (gateway host local time).
|
||||
// If you also set idleMinutes, whichever expires first wins.
|
||||
mode: "daily",
|
||||
atHour: 4,
|
||||
idleMinutes: 120,
|
||||
},
|
||||
resetByType: {
|
||||
thread: { mode: "daily", atHour: 4 },
|
||||
dm: { mode: "idle", idleMinutes: 240 },
|
||||
group: { mode: "idle", idleMinutes: 120 },
|
||||
},
|
||||
resetByChannel: {
|
||||
discord: { mode: "idle", idleMinutes: 10080 },
|
||||
},
|
||||
resetTriggers: ["/new", "/reset"],
|
||||
store: "~/.openclaw/agents/{agentId}/sessions/sessions.json",
|
||||
mainKey: "main",
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Inspecting
|
||||
|
||||
- `openclaw status` — shows store path and recent sessions.
|
||||
- `openclaw sessions --json` — dumps every entry (filter with `--active <minutes>`).
|
||||
- `openclaw gateway call sessions.list --params '{}'` — fetch sessions from the running gateway (use `--url`/`--token` for remote gateway access).
|
||||
- Send `/status` as a standalone message in chat to see whether the agent is reachable, how much of the session context is used, current thinking/verbose toggles, and when your WhatsApp web creds were last refreshed (helps spot relink needs).
|
||||
- Send `/context list` or `/context detail` to see what’s in the system prompt and injected workspace files (and the biggest context contributors).
|
||||
- Send `/stop` as a standalone message to abort the current run, clear queued followups for that session, and stop any sub-agent runs spawned from it (the reply includes the stopped count).
|
||||
- Send `/compact` (optional instructions) as a standalone message to summarize older context and free up window space. See [/concepts/compaction](/concepts/compaction).
|
||||
- JSONL transcripts can be opened directly to review full turns.
|
||||
|
||||
## Tips
|
||||
|
||||
- Keep the primary key dedicated to 1:1 traffic; let groups keep their own keys.
|
||||
- When automating cleanup, delete individual keys instead of the whole store to preserve context elsewhere.
|
||||
|
||||
## Session origin metadata
|
||||
|
||||
Each session entry records where it came from (best-effort) in `origin`:
|
||||
|
||||
- `label`: human label (resolved from conversation label + group subject/channel)
|
||||
- `provider`: normalized channel id (including extensions)
|
||||
- `from`/`to`: raw routing ids from the inbound envelope
|
||||
- `accountId`: provider account id (when multi-account)
|
||||
- `threadId`: thread/topic id when the channel supports it
|
||||
The origin fields are populated for direct messages, channels, and groups. If a
|
||||
connector only updates delivery routing (for example, to keep a DM main session
|
||||
fresh), it should still provide inbound context so the session keeps its
|
||||
explainer metadata. Extensions can do this by sending `ConversationLabel`,
|
||||
`GroupSubject`, `GroupChannel`, `GroupSpace`, and `SenderName` in the inbound
|
||||
context and calling `recordSessionMetaFromInbound` (or passing the same context
|
||||
to `updateLastRoute`).

# Streaming + chunking
|
||||
|
||||
OpenClaw has two separate “streaming” layers:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Block streaming (channels):** emit completed **blocks** as the assistant writes. These are normal channel messages (not token deltas).
|
||||
- **Token-ish streaming (Telegram only):** update a **draft bubble** with partial text while generating; final message is sent at the end.
|
||||
|
||||
There is **no real token streaming** to external channel messages today. Telegram draft streaming is the only partial-stream surface.
|
||||
|
||||
## Block streaming (channel messages)
|
||||
|
||||
Block streaming sends assistant output in coarse chunks as it becomes available.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Model output
|
||||
└─ text_delta/events
|
||||
├─ (blockStreamingBreak=text_end)
|
||||
│ └─ chunker emits blocks as buffer grows
|
||||
└─ (blockStreamingBreak=message_end)
|
||||
└─ chunker flushes at message_end
|
||||
└─ channel send (block replies)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Legend:
|
||||
|
||||
- `text_delta/events`: model stream events (may be sparse for non-streaming models).
|
||||
- `chunker`: `EmbeddedBlockChunker` applying min/max bounds + break preference.
|
||||
- `channel send`: actual outbound messages (block replies).
|
||||
|
||||
**Controls:**
|
||||
|
||||
- `agents.defaults.blockStreamingDefault`: `"on"`/`"off"` (default off).
|
||||
- Channel overrides: `*.blockStreaming` (and per-account variants) to force `"on"`/`"off"` per channel.
|
||||
- `agents.defaults.blockStreamingBreak`: `"text_end"` or `"message_end"`.
|
||||
- `agents.defaults.blockStreamingChunk`: `{ minChars, maxChars, breakPreference? }`.
|
||||
- `agents.defaults.blockStreamingCoalesce`: `{ minChars?, maxChars?, idleMs? }` (merge streamed blocks before send).
|
||||
- Channel hard cap: `*.textChunkLimit` (e.g., `channels.whatsapp.textChunkLimit`).
|
||||
- Channel chunk mode: `*.chunkMode` (`length` default, `newline` splits on blank lines (paragraph boundaries) before length chunking).
|
||||
- Discord soft cap: `channels.discord.maxLinesPerMessage` (default 17) splits tall replies to avoid UI clipping.
|
||||
|
||||
**Boundary semantics:**
|
||||
|
||||
- `text_end`: stream blocks as soon as chunker emits; flush on each `text_end`.
|
||||
- `message_end`: wait until assistant message finishes, then flush buffered output.
|
||||
|
||||
`message_end` still uses the chunker if the buffered text exceeds `maxChars`, so it can emit multiple chunks at the end.
|
||||
|
||||
## Chunking algorithm (low/high bounds)
|
||||
|
||||
Block chunking is implemented by `EmbeddedBlockChunker`:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Low bound:** don’t emit until buffer >= `minChars` (unless forced).
|
||||
- **High bound:** prefer splits before `maxChars`; if forced, split at `maxChars`.
|
||||
- **Break preference:** `paragraph` → `newline` → `sentence` → `whitespace` → hard break.
|
||||
- **Code fences:** never split inside fences; when forced at `maxChars`, close + reopen the fence to keep Markdown valid.
|
||||
|
||||
`maxChars` is clamped to the channel `textChunkLimit`, so you can’t exceed per-channel caps.
|
||||
|
||||
## Coalescing (merge streamed blocks)
|
||||
|
||||
When block streaming is enabled, OpenClaw can **merge consecutive block chunks**
|
||||
before sending them out. This reduces “single-line spam” while still providing
|
||||
progressive output.
|
||||
|
||||
- Coalescing waits for **idle gaps** (`idleMs`) before flushing.
|
||||
- Buffers are capped by `maxChars` and will flush if they exceed it.
|
||||
- `minChars` prevents tiny fragments from sending until enough text accumulates
|
||||
(final flush always sends remaining text).
|
||||
- Joiner is derived from `blockStreamingChunk.breakPreference`
|
||||
(`paragraph` → `\n\n`, `newline` → `\n`, `sentence` → space).
|
||||
- Channel overrides are available via `*.blockStreamingCoalesce` (including per-account configs).
|
||||
- Default coalesce `minChars` is bumped to 1500 for Signal/Slack/Discord unless overridden.
|
||||
|
||||
## Human-like pacing between blocks
|
||||
|
||||
When block streaming is enabled, you can add a **randomized pause** between
|
||||
block replies (after the first block). This makes multi-bubble responses feel
|
||||
more natural.
|
||||
|
||||
- Config: `agents.defaults.humanDelay` (override per agent via `agents.list[].humanDelay`).
|
||||
- Modes: `off` (default), `natural` (800–2500ms), `custom` (`minMs`/`maxMs`).
|
||||
- Applies only to **block replies**, not final replies or tool summaries.
|
||||
|
||||
## “Stream chunks or everything”
|
||||
|
||||
This maps to:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Stream chunks:** `blockStreamingDefault: "on"` + `blockStreamingBreak: "text_end"` (emit as you go). Non-Telegram channels also need `*.blockStreaming: true`.
|
||||
- **Stream everything at end:** `blockStreamingBreak: "message_end"` (flush once, possibly multiple chunks if very long).
|
||||
- **No block streaming:** `blockStreamingDefault: "off"` (only final reply).
|
||||
|
||||
**Channel note:** For non-Telegram channels, block streaming is **off unless**
|
||||
`*.blockStreaming` is explicitly set to `true`. Telegram can stream drafts
|
||||
(`channels.telegram.streamMode`) without block replies.
|
||||
|
||||
Config location reminder: the `blockStreaming*` defaults live under
|
||||
`agents.defaults`, not the root config.
|
||||
|
||||
## Telegram draft streaming (token-ish)
|
||||
|
||||
Telegram is the only channel with draft streaming:
|
||||
|
||||
- Uses Bot API `sendMessageDraft` in **private chats with topics**.
|
||||
- `channels.telegram.streamMode: "partial" | "block" | "off"`.
|
||||
- `partial`: draft updates with the latest stream text.
|
||||
- `block`: draft updates in chunked blocks (same chunker rules).
|
||||
- `off`: no draft streaming.
|
||||
- Draft chunk config (only for `streamMode: "block"`): `channels.telegram.draftChunk` (defaults: `minChars: 200`, `maxChars: 800`).
|
||||
- Draft streaming is separate from block streaming; block replies are off by default and only enabled by `*.blockStreaming: true` on non-Telegram channels.
|
||||
- Final reply is still a normal message.
|
||||
- `/reasoning stream` writes reasoning into the draft bubble (Telegram only).
|
||||
|
||||
When draft streaming is active, OpenClaw disables block streaming for that reply to avoid double-streaming.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Telegram (private + topics)
|
||||
└─ sendMessageDraft (draft bubble)
|
||||
├─ streamMode=partial → update latest text
|
||||
└─ streamMode=block → chunker updates draft
|
||||
└─ final reply → normal message
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Legend:
|
||||
|
||||
- `sendMessageDraft`: Telegram draft bubble (not a real message).
|
||||
- `final reply`: normal Telegram message send.
