OpenClaw + Discord Integration Guide — Connect Your AI Agent

Why Connect OpenClaw with Discord?

Discord is one of the most popular tools for community management and support. By integrating OpenClaw with Discord, your AI agent can automatically interact with your Discord workspace — reading data, sending messages, and triggering actions without manual intervention.

What You Can Build

• Automated responses — Your AI agent monitors Discord and responds to messages, questions, or events automatically
• Data sync — Pull data from Discord into your agent's context for smarter decisions
• Notifications — Get AI-generated summaries and alerts in Discord
• Workflow triggers — Use Discord events to trigger complex AI workflows

Setup Guide

Prerequisites

• OpenClaw installed on your server (Quick install guide)
• A Discord account with API access or webhook permissions
• Basic familiarity with OpenClaw configuration

Step 1: Configure OpenClaw Channel

OpenClaw supports Discord as a native channel. Add the Discord configuration to your OpenClaw config file:

channels:
  discord:
    enabled: true
    # Add your Discord credentials here

Step 2: Set Up Your Agent's Personality

Create a SOUL.md file that defines how your agent behaves in Discord. The personality should match the context — professional for work tools, friendly for community platforms.

Step 3: Test the Integration

Send a test message in Discord and verify your OpenClaw agent responds correctly. Check the OpenClaw logs for any connection issues.
