SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill streamlines the setup and management of automated tasks within OpenClaw, including scheduled jobs, event-driven webhooks, and keep-alive heartbeats, reducing manual intervention and ensuring continuous operation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Cron Jobs: Schedule tasks to run automatically at specific times or intervals.
  • Webhooks: Configure event-driven automation triggered by external HTTP requests.
  • Heartbeat: Maintain agent activity and context through periodic pings.
  • Use Case: Automatically generate a daily report at 8 AM using a cron job, or trigger an agent to process an order when a payment webhook is received.

Quick Start

Use the openclaw automation skill to add a new cron job that runs every day at 8 AM.

Frequently Asked Questions about openclaw-automation

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I schedule cron jobs for gateway automation?▼

Cron job scheduling for gateway automation allows tasks to execute automatically at specific times or intervals. This Skill configures cron expressions to run OpenClaw operations deterministically, reducing manual intervention for recurring tasks.

What's the best way to trigger event-driven workflows with webhooks?▼

Event-driven workflows with webhooks are triggered by external HTTP requests sent to configured endpoints. This Skill sets up webhook event handling so OpenClaw agents automatically execute reactive workflows when payloads arrive.

How does a heartbeat configuration maintain agent readiness?▼

Heartbeat configurations maintain agent readiness by sending periodic pings that keep agent activity and context alive. This Skill manages continuous heartbeat setups to ensure OpenClaw agents remain responsive between scheduled tasks.

Can I use OpenClaw CLI tools with cron scheduling and webhooks?▼

OpenClaw CLI tools integrate directly with cron scheduling and webhook configurations. This Skill leverages CLI commands and agent tools to manage automated tasks, supporting both deterministic cron execution and reactive webhook triggers.

When do I need event-driven automation versus scheduled cron jobs?▼

Event-driven automation via webhooks is needed for immediate reactions to external triggers, while scheduled cron jobs suit deterministic, time-based execution. This Skill supports both patterns alongside heartbeats, letting you choose based on task requirements.
