​
Using in Servers

​
Group Settings

Configure server (guild) behavior in the IM Integrations tab of your Dashboard:
SettingOptionsDescription
Group PolicyOpen (default) / Allowlist / DisabledControls access to server channels
Require @mentionOn / OffBot only responds when @mentioned (recommended)
Group IDsList of guild IDsRestrict to specific servers (empty = all servers)
Discord uses per-guild user allowlists instead of a global group allowlist. For advanced per-guild user filtering, configure directly in the OpenClaw config file.

​
DM Policy

Control who can send direct messages to your bot:
PolicyBehavior
Pairing (default)New users get a pairing code — enter it in the WebUI to authorize
AllowlistOnly user IDs you specify can DM the bot
OpenAnyone can DM the bot (use with caution)

​
Troubleshooting

  • Make sure Message Content Intent is enabled in the Developer Portal
  • Verify the bot token is correct
  • Check that the bot has permission to read and send messages in the channel
  • Check your instance status in the dashboard (should be green/running)
  • Try restarting the instance
  • Verify the token hasn’t been reset in the Developer Portal
  • This happens when two instances try to use the same bot token
  • Make sure only one Claw instance is configured with this token
