Discord / OpenClaw Configuration

Date: 2026-02-23

Working Config (Slash Commands + Agent Responses)

File Location: ~/.openclaw/config/config.json

Critical Setup

Both layers required for full functionality:

"channels": {
  "discord": {
    "enabled": true,
    "token": "YOUR_TOKEN",
    "groupPolicy": "open",
    "guilds": {
      "1465924568119251006": {
        "users": [
          "458667380332036117",
          "1465926559134257294"
        ],
        "channels": {
          "1466074219829006599": {
            "allow": true
          }
        },
        "requireMention": false
      }
    }
  }
}

Why Both Layers?

Layer	Location	Purpose	Without It
`users`	Guild level	Slash commands working	`/compact`, `/status` don't register
`channels.allow`	Channel level	Agent can respond	Agent stops responding to messages

Bug/Design Issue

The users whitelist prevents agent responses — it's a bug where:

users enables slash commands ✅
But also breaks message processing ❌
channels.allow is the workaround to re-enable responses

Both required until OpenClaw fixes the bug.
