Gateway Notify

Get notified instantly when your OpenClaw gateway starts up — via any supported messaging channel.

Quick Start

Run the setup script with your preferred channel and recipient address:

bash scripts/setup.sh <channel> <address>

Examples

# Telegram
bash scripts/setup.sh telegram @your_username

# WhatsApp
bash scripts/setup.sh whatsapp +1234567890

# Discord
bash scripts/setup.sh discord 1234567890

# Slack
bash scripts/setup.sh slack #general

# Signal
bash scripts/setup.sh signal +1234567890

# iMessage
bash scripts/setup.sh imessage user@icloud.com

# Google Chat
bash scripts/setup.sh googlechat spaces/xxx

# IRC
bash scripts/setup.sh irc #channel

# Line
bash scripts/setup.sh line user_id

# WeChat (requires openclaw-weixin plugin)
bash scripts/setup.sh openclaw-weixin openid@im.wechat

# Feishu / Lark (requires feishu plugin)
bash scripts/setup.sh feishu chat_id

# QQ Bot (requires qqbot plugin)
bash scripts/setup.sh qqbot chat_id

The script will:

1. Create the hook directory at ~/.openclaw/hooks/gateway-notify
2. Generate HOOK.md and handler.ts with your channel config
3. Enable the hook
4. Print instructions to restart the gateway

After restart, you'll receive a notification like:

🚀 Gateway Started
⏰ 2026-04-03 15:52:00
🌐 127.0.0.1:18789

Supported Channels

Note: WeChat (openclaw-weixin), Feishu, and QQ Bot are bundled channel plugins. Make sure the channel is configured via openclaw channels before using this skill.

For channel-specific details and troubleshooting, see references/CHANNELS.md.

How It Works

Uses OpenClaw's native hook system:

• Listens for gateway:startup events
• Sends a notification via openclaw message send
• Zero configuration beyond the initial setup

Uninstall

openclaw hooks disable gateway-notify
rm -rf ~/.openclaw/hooks/gateway-notify
