Install

openclaw plugins install clawhub:@dougzl/openclaw-webchat-background-notify

@dougzl/openclaw-webchat-background-notify

An OpenClaw plugin that sends a local Windows notification when an assistant reply arrives while the current webchat page is in the background.

Features

  • Background reply notifications for OpenClaw webchat
  • Chat toolbar toggle to enable or disable notifications
  • Per-session visibility tracking via plugin HTTP route
  • Automatic control-ui patching for visibility reporting
  • Conservative patch strategy:
    • syntax validation before write
    • fail-closed if validation fails
    • atomic write
    • idempotent patching

Install

bash
openclaw plugins install @dougzl/openclaw-webchat-background-notify
openclaw plugins enable webchat-background-notify

For local development:

bash
openclaw plugins install -l ./drafts/webchat-background-notify

Notes

  • Intended for Windows desktop environments
  • Designed for OpenClaw webchat / control-ui
  • If a future control-ui bundle shape changes, the patcher is designed to no-op rather than break the page
