Post to Discord from OpenClaw

OpenClaw can send scheduled messages to Discord channels through the Postiz skill. You message OpenClaw from WhatsApp, Telegram, or even another Discord server, name the target channel, and it calls the Postiz CLI to upload attachments and schedule the announcement through the Postiz bot.

How do you set up OpenClaw to post to Discord?

Setup takes three commands: install the Postiz skill, sign in, and confirm OpenClaw lists it as eligible. After that you talk to OpenClaw in plain language and it runs the Postiz CLI for Discord.

openclaw skills install @nevo-david/postiz
# or: npx skills add gitroomhq/postiz-agent

# Sign in (OAuth2 device flow) or use an API key
postiz auth:login
# or: export POSTIZ_API_KEY=your_api_key

# Confirm OpenClaw can see the skill
openclaw skills list --eligible

# Then just ask OpenClaw from any chat app:
> Post the release notes to #announcements on

How Postiz Becomes an OpenClaw Skill

When you install Postiz Agent globally, OpenClaw automatically discovers it by reading the bundled SKILL.md file. This file tells OpenClaw what commands are available, what environment variables are needed, and how to compose Discord messages with the right settings.

✓Install from ClawHub with one command: openclaw skills install @nevo-david/postiz
✓OpenClaw reads the SKILL.md and learns all Postiz commands
✓Run openclaw skills check to confirm the postiz binary and credentials are in place
✓Skills are loaded on-demand, keeping the agent context clean
✓Works with any LLM backend: Claude, GPT, Gemini, Llama, and more

Install from ClawHub

# Install the Postiz skill from ClawHub
openclaw skills install @nevo-david/postiz

# Or with the skills CLI
npx skills add gitroomhq/postiz-agent

# Sign in with OAuth2 (or set POSTIZ_API_KEY)
postiz auth:login

# Verify OpenClaw sees it

Discord Messaging with OpenClaw

Scheduled & Proactive

openclaw automations for recurring content

OpenClaw automations run on cron expressions in an isolated session and can announce results to a chat channel. Create one that drafts and schedules your Discord content through Postiz, so nothing waits on a manual trigger.

openclaw automations (cron)

openclaw automations create "0 9 * * 1-5" \
  "Read ~/content/discord for a new announcement, attach any image next to it, and schedule it to the #announcements channel for 10am." \
  --name "Discord daily post" \
  --session isolated \
  --announce --channel telegram \
  --to "<your chat id>"

# openclaw cron is an alias for the same command

Why OpenClaw + Postiz for Discord

OpenClaw's skill system makes Postiz a natural fit. The agent reads the SKILL.md to understand every available command, then autonomously chains them together for Discord workflows.

✓Message from WhatsApp to post to Discord — no terminal needed
✓Cron jobs for hands-free weekly community updates
✓Structured JSON output lets OpenClaw verify each step succeeded
✓Channel targeting handled automatically from your instructions
✓Cross-post to Discord + other platforms in a single conversation
✓Model-agnostic — works with Claude, GPT, Gemini, or open-source LLMs

Also Works with Claude Code

Postiz works with any AI agent that can run commands or call MCP tools — you ask, the agent does the work. That includes Anthropic's Claude Code, which has its own guide for posting to Discord from Claude Code.

Claude Code

by Anthropic

Claude reads the Postiz skill so it knows what it can do, then autonomously discovers your Discord integration, identifies the right channel, and sends your message with any attachments.

Claude Code

> Send an announcement to our Discord
  #releases channel that v2.0 is live,
  attach the changelog screenshot

Claude: Done! Scheduled on Discord for
  tomorrow at 9:00 AM.

Discord + Other Platforms

Schedule the same announcement to Discord and other platforms in a single command. Each platform gets its own settings.

Example

> What's scheduled on Discord this week?

OpenClaw: 6 posts on Discord: the announcement tomorrow
  at 9:00 AM and daily tips Mon-Fri at 10:00 AM.
  Want me to move or cancel any of them?

What can you ask OpenClaw to do on Discord?

These are real messages you can send OpenClaw from WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, or Discord. OpenClaw maps each one to the right Postiz command and Discord settings.

Announcement

Send to OpenClaw

> Post the v2.1 release notes to #announcements tomorrow at 10am and attach banner.png.

Channel lookup

> Which Discord channels can Postiz post to? Then send the community event reminder to #events at 6pm.

Cross-post

Discord rules OpenClaw has to follow

Postiz enforces these Discord constraints when OpenClaw creates a post. Knowing them up front avoids a failed request.

✓A channel ID is required. OpenClaw lists available channels through Postiz, so mention the channel name and it resolves the ID.
✓Discord messages are limited to 2,000 characters. Ask OpenClaw to split long announcements or attach a file.
✓The Postiz bot must be invited to the server with permission to post in the target channel. If a channel is missing from the list, check the bot's permissions.
✓Attachments follow Discord's upload size limits for the server tier. Compress large videos before sending.

OpenClaw and Discord: frequently asked questions

How do I post to Discord from OpenClaw?

Install the Postiz skill in OpenClaw, run postiz auth:login, and add the Postiz Discord bot to your server. Then message OpenClaw with the channel name, text, and time. OpenClaw resolves the channel ID through Postiz and schedules the message with postiz posts:create.

Can OpenClaw post to Discord from WhatsApp or Telegram?

Yes. OpenClaw is a gateway that listens on the chat apps you connect, so a WhatsApp message can trigger a Discord post. OpenClaw runs the Postiz CLI locally and Postiz delivers the message to your Discord channel at the scheduled time.

Which Discord channels can OpenClaw post to?

Any channel the Postiz bot can access. Postiz exposes the channel list as a platform trigger, and OpenClaw runs postiz integrations:trigger to fetch it. Ask "which Discord channels do I have?" and OpenClaw lists them with their IDs before posting.

Does OpenClaw need a Discord bot token?

No. Postiz provides the bot, and you invite it to your server from the Postiz dashboard. OpenClaw only runs the Postiz CLI, authenticated with postiz auth:login or a Postiz API key. There is no Discord developer application or token in your OpenClaw configuration.

Can OpenClaw post Discord reminders on a schedule?

Yes. Create an OpenClaw automation with a cron expression and a prompt that schedules the reminder to your Discord channel through Postiz. OpenClaw can also announce the automation result to a Discord channel directly, so the team sees what was queued.
