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 \x3Cchannel> \x3Caddress>
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 [email protected]
# 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 [email protected]
# 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:
- Create the hook directory at
~/.openclaw/hooks/gateway-notify - Generate
HOOK.mdandhandler.tswith your channel config - Enable the hook
- Print instructions to restart the gateway
After restart, you'll receive a notification like:
🚀 Gateway Started

How It Works
Uses OpenClaw's native hook system:
- Listens for
gateway:startupevents - 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
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to do only what it says: it creates a gateway startup hook that uses your existing OpenClaw channels to send notifications. Before running the setup script, ensure you: (1) have OpenClaw installed and channels (Telegram/Slack/WeChat/etc.) already configured and secured (those channel configurations carry the actual send tokens), (2) inspect the generated files (~/.openclaw/hooks/gateway-notify/config.json and handler.ts) to verify the target address, and (3) confirm the `openclaw` binary on your PATH is the expected official tool. If you do not want files written to your home directory, do not run the script. Overall low risk but review channel credentials in OpenClaw separately since this hook will use whatever channels are already configured.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: gateway-startup-notify
Version: 1.2.0
The skill bundle is a legitimate utility for sending gateway startup notifications across various messaging platforms. The setup script (scripts/setup.sh) includes robust input validation using regex and safely generates configuration files using Python to prevent injection. The generated handler (handler.ts) uses execFile with array-based arguments to interact with the OpenClaw CLI, effectively mitigating shell injection risks.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description (gateway startup notifications) match the included script and handler which create a hook that listens for gateway:startup and calls `openclaw message send`. No unrelated credentials, binaries, or services are requested.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md instructs running the provided setup script. The script only writes hook files under ~/.openclaw/hooks/gateway-notify, produces a config.json, and creates a handler that calls the local `openclaw` CLI. It does not read arbitrary user files or transmit data outside OpenClaw's configured channels.
Install Mechanism
No remote downloads or install spec; the skill is instruction-only with a bundled setup script. The script requires python3 (checked at runtime) and writes files in the user's home hook directory — a low-risk, expected install pattern.
Credentials
The skill declares no required env vars or secrets. It relies on the existing OpenClaw channel configuration (which may itself contain tokens). The script uses $HOME and PATH-standard bins (python3, openclaw); these are proportional to the task.
Persistence & Privilege
Does not request always:true or modify other skills. It creates and enables a single hook (its own) under ~/.openclaw/hooks and backs up any existing hook — expected behavior for a hook plugin.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install gateway-startup-notify - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/gateway-startup-notify - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
Version History
v1.2.0
Add WeChat (openclaw-weixin), Feishu/Lark, and QQ Bot channel support. Now covers all 12 OpenClaw messaging channels.
v1.1.0
Security fix: separate config.json from handler.ts to eliminate injection risk. handler.ts reads config at runtime via JSON.parse. Added python3 dependency check, backup existing hooks, config error handling.
v1.0.0
Initial release. Supports 9 official channels via openclaw message send. Uses execFile for safe command execution.
