OpenClaw Discord Bot — Slash Commands & Server Automation
Add an OpenClaw Discord bot with slash commands, threaded conversations, and role-based access controls. Unlike a chatbot, your OpenClaw Discord bot executes real server-side tasks — file ops, deployments, database queries — right from your Discord server.
Discord-Native Features
Designed around how Discord communities actually work.
Slash Command Interface
Register custom slash commands that appear in Discord autocomplete. Users pick a command, fill in parameters, and your agent executes.
Thread Conversations
OpenClaw responds inside threads to keep channels clean. Each thread maintains its own context for focused multi-turn interactions.
Role-Based Permissions
Control which Discord roles can interact with your agent. Restrict sensitive commands to admins while keeping general queries open to everyone.
Rich Embed Responses
Your agent formats output as Discord embeds with titles, fields, colors, and footers — ideal for status reports, dashboards, and structured data.
Multi-Server Deployment
One OpenClaw instance can serve multiple Discord servers. Each server gets its own context and configuration.
DM Support
Users can message your bot directly for private interactions. Sensitive tasks stay out of public channels.
OpenClaw Discord Slash Commands
Register custom Discord bot slash commands that appear in autocomplete. Your team types a command, fills in parameters, and OpenClaw executes the task on your server.
/deploy
Trigger a deployment from Discord. Specify the branch, environment, and target server. OpenClaw pulls the code, runs tests, deploys the container, and reports back in the same thread.
/status
Get a real-time infrastructure status report. CPU, memory, disk, active processes, and recent error logs — formatted as a Discord embed with color-coded severity.
/report
Generate on-demand reports. Sales summaries, sprint metrics, uptime stats — OpenClaw queries your database, builds the report, and posts it as a file attachment or embed.
/schedule
Set up recurring tasks directly from Discord. Define a cron expression and a task description. OpenClaw runs it on schedule and posts results to the channel you specify.
Discord slash commands are registered automatically when you connect your bot token. Customize available commands from the OpenClaw dashboard.
Set Up in Three Steps
Create a Discord Application
Go to the Discord Developer Portal, create an application, add a bot user, and copy the token.
Connect to OpenClaw
Paste the bot token into your OpenClaw dashboard. Configure your AI model and slash command preferences.
Invite to Your Server
Use the generated invite link to add the bot to your Discord server. Commands register automatically.
