Key Capabilities
Server Management Tools
OpenClaw can moderate conversations, auto-assign roles to new members, and summarise missed messages in any text channel. Configure rules through the dashboard instead of juggling multiple bots.
Native Slash Commands
Register custom slash commands that surface directly in Discord's command picker. Users see descriptions and parameter hints as they type, so interacting with your assistant feels built into the platform.
Thread-Aware Replies
When someone opens a thread, OpenClaw follows the conversation inside that thread rather than cluttering the main channel. It maintains separate context per thread so parallel discussions never bleed into each other.
Role-Based Permissions
Restrict which commands or capabilities are available based on Discord roles. Administrators might unlock configuration commands while regular members only access general queries and lookups.
Voice Channel Awareness
OpenClaw detects who is in a voice channel and can post meeting summaries, set timers, or relay text messages to voice participants. It stays informed about channel state without needing to join audio.
Webhook Integration
Push notifications, alerts, or scheduled digests into any channel via Discord webhooks. OpenClaw formats messages with embeds, mentions, and timestamps that look polished and on-brand.
How to Connect
Add the Bot to Your Server
Generate an OAuth2 invite link from the OpenClaw dashboard, click it, and choose which Discord server to add the bot to. Permissions are requested upfront so there are no surprises later.
Assign Channels and Roles
Pick which text channels the bot monitors, define role-based access for each slash command, and optionally enable voice channel awareness for meeting-related features.
Interact Anywhere
Use slash commands, mention the bot, or let it respond to keywords. OpenClaw replies in-channel or in threads with full context carried over from previous interactions.
