What is OpenClaw?

OpenClaw is the open-source personal AI agent with 145k+ GitHub stars. It runs locally on your machine, connects through apps you already use, and takes real actions on your behalf.

💬

Works Where You Are

Message OpenClaw from WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, Signal, iMessage, or 10+ other platforms. No new app to learn.

🧩

Skill-Based Architecture

OpenClaw extends its abilities through Skills — lightweight plugins defined in Markdown files. Postiz is available as a skill on ClawHub.

⏰

Proactive Automation

Schedule recurring tasks with cron jobs. OpenClaw can send your Discord messages on a schedule without you having to ask each time.

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: clawhub install nevo-david/postiz
✓OpenClaw reads the SKILL.md and learns all Postiz commands
✓Eligibility is checked automatically — POSTIZ_API_KEY must be set
✓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
clawhub install nevo-david/postiz

# Or install the CLI globally
npm install -g postiz

# Set your API key
export POSTIZ_API_KEY=your_api_key

# Verify OpenClaw sees it
openclaw skills list --eligible

# Output:
# - postiz: Social media automation
#   CLI for scheduling posts
#   across 30+ platforms

Discord Messaging with OpenClaw

Message OpenClaw from any platform — it reads the Postiz skill, discovers your Discord integration, and handles the entire messaging workflow autonomously.

🦀

From Any Chat App

WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord...

Send a message to OpenClaw from your favorite chat app. It runs as a persistent daemon on your machine, so it picks up your message, discovers your Discord bot via Postiz, and sends the message to the right channel — all while you go about your day.

WhatsApp / Telegram

You: Post an announcement to our
  Discord #updates channel that v2.0
  is live, schedule for 9am tomorrow

OpenClaw: Got it! Here's what I'll do:
  1. Find your Discord integration
  2. Send to #updates channel
  3. Schedule for 2025-03-02T09:00:00Z

  Done! Your Discord message is scheduled.
  Post ID: abc-123

Scheduled & Proactive

Cron jobs for recurring content

OpenClaw supports cron-based heartbeat tasks. Set up a recurring job that sends weekly updates, daily tips, or event reminders to your Discord server automatically — no manual trigger needed.

openclaw.json (heartbeat)

{
  "heartbeat": [
    {
      "cron": "0 9 * * 1",
      "prompt": "Compose a weekly community
  update for our Discord server.
  Summarize the past week's activity
  from our GitHub repo. Post to the
  #weekly-updates channel using
  Postiz. Keep it concise and
  friendly."
    }
  ]
}

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 Agent works as a CLI tool with any AI agent that can execute shell commands — including Anthropic's Claude Code.

Claude Code

by Anthropic

Claude reads the SKILL.md file to learn all available Postiz commands, 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 will automatically run:
  postiz integrations:list
  postiz upload ./changelog.png
  postiz posts:create \
    -c "v2.0 is now live! Check out
      the changelog below." \
    -m "uploaded-image-url" \
    --settings '{"channel":
      "123456789012345678"}' \
    -i "discord-id"

Discord + Other Platforms

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

Terminal

# Announce to Discord and Twitter simultaneously
postiz posts:create \
  -c "We just launched v2.0! New features, faster performance, and more." \
  -s "2025-03-01T09:00:00Z" \
  --settings '{
    "channel": "123456789012345678"
  }' \
  -i "discord-id,twitter-id"

# Batch schedule daily tips to Discord
for day in 1 2 3 4 5; do
  postiz posts:create \
    -c "Daily Tip #$day: Stay productive with automation!" \
