Gateway Notify

Send automatic notifications when the OpenClaw gateway starts up. Supports Telegram, WhatsApp, Discord, Slack, Signal, iMessage, IRC, Google Chat, Line, WeChat, Feishu (Lark), and QQ Bot. Triggers on phrases like 'gateway restart notification', 'notify me when gateway starts', 'startup alert'. Run setup script to configure channel and recipient.

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

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

Examples

bash

# Telegram
bash scripts/setup.sh telegram @your_username

# WhatsApp
bash scripts/setup.sh whatsapp [phone]

# Discord
bash scripts/setup.sh discord 1234567890

# Slack
bash scripts/setup.sh slack #general

# Signal
bash scripts/setup.sh signal [phone]

# iMessage
bash scripts/setup.sh imessage [e-mail]

# 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 [e-mail]

# 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:

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

bash

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