# `openclaw channels`
|
|
|
|
Manage chat channel accounts and their runtime status on the Gateway.

|
|
|
|
## Common commands
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
openclaw channels list
|
|
openclaw channels status
|
|
openclaw channels capabilities
|
|
openclaw channels capabilities --channel discord --target channel:123
|
|
openclaw channels resolve --channel slack "#general" "@jane"
|
|
openclaw channels logs --channel all
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Add / remove accounts
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
openclaw channels add --channel telegram --token <bot-token>
|
|
openclaw channels remove --channel telegram --delete
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Tip: `openclaw channels add --help` shows per-channel flags (token, app token, signal-cli paths, etc).
|
|
|
|
When you run `openclaw channels add` without flags, the interactive wizard can prompt:
|
|
|
|
- account ids per selected channel
|
|
- optional display names for those accounts
|
|
- `Bind configured channel accounts to agents now?`
|
|
|
|
If you confirm bind now, the wizard asks which agent should own each configured channel account and writes account-scoped routing bindings.
|
|
|
|
You can also manage the same routing rules later with `openclaw agents bindings`, `openclaw agents bind`, and `openclaw agents unbind` (see [agents](/cli/agents)).
|
|
|
|
When you add a non-default account to a channel that is still using single-account top-level settings (no `channels.<channel>.accounts` entries yet), OpenClaw moves account-scoped single-account top-level values into `channels.<channel>.accounts.default`, then writes the new account. This preserves the original account behavior while moving to the multi-account shape.
|
|
|
|
Routing behavior stays consistent:
|
|
|
|
- Existing channel-only bindings (no `accountId`) continue to match the default account.
|
|
- `channels add` does not auto-create or rewrite bindings in non-interactive mode.
|
|
- Interactive setup can optionally add account-scoped bindings.
|
|
|
|
If your config was already in a mixed state (named accounts present, missing `default`, and top-level single-account values still set), run `openclaw doctor --fix` to move account-scoped values into `accounts.default`.
|
|
|
|
## Login / logout (interactive)
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
openclaw channels login --channel whatsapp
|
|
openclaw channels logout --channel whatsapp
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
- Run `openclaw status --deep` for a broad probe.
|
|
- Use `openclaw doctor` for guided fixes.
|
|
- `openclaw channels list` prints `Claude: HTTP 403 ... user:profile` → usage snapshot needs the `user:profile` scope. Use `--no-usage`, or provide a claude.ai session key (`CLAUDE_WEB_SESSION_KEY` / `CLAUDE_WEB_COOKIE`), or re-auth via Claude Code CLI.
|
|
- `openclaw channels status` falls back to config-only summaries when the gateway is unreachable. If a supported channel credential is configured via SecretRef but unavailable in the current command path, it reports that account as configured with degraded notes instead of showing it as not configured.
|
|
|
|
## Capabilities probe
|
|
|
|
Fetch provider capability hints (intents/scopes where available) plus static feature support:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
openclaw channels capabilities
|
|
openclaw channels capabilities --channel discord --target channel:123
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Notes:
|
|
|
|
- `--channel` is optional; omit it to list every channel (including extensions).
|
|
- `--target` accepts `channel:<id>` or a raw numeric channel id and only applies to Discord.
|
|
- Probes are provider-specific: Discord intents + optional channel permissions; Slack bot + user scopes; Telegram bot flags + webhook; Signal daemon version; MS Teams app token + Graph roles/scopes (annotated where known). Channels without probes report `Probe: unavailable`.
|
|
|
|
## Resolve names to IDs
|
|
|
|
Resolve channel/user names to IDs using the provider directory:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
openclaw channels resolve --channel slack "#general" "@jane"
|
|
openclaw channels resolve --channel discord "My Server/#support" "@someone"
|
|
openclaw channels resolve --channel matrix "Project Room"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Notes:
|
|
|
|
- Use `--kind user|group|auto` to force the target type.
|
|
- Resolution prefers active matches when multiple entries share the same name.
|
|
- `channels resolve` is read-only. If a selected account is configured via SecretRef but that credential is unavailable in the current command path, the command returns degraded unresolved results with notes instead of aborting the entire run.
