Channels

Channels let your agents send messages, receive commands, and deliver output to the platforms your team already uses.

Supported channels

Channel	What it enables
Slack	Post messages, respond to slash commands, thread replies
Discord	Post to channels, respond to bot commands
Telegram	Send messages, respond to /commands
Email	Send delivery notifications and reports via Resend
Webhook	POST output to any HTTP endpoint

Setup

Configure channels in Settings → Integrations in the ClawHQ dashboard, or set environment variables directly. Each channel requires its own credentials:

Slack — Bot token (xoxb-...) and signing secret. See Slack setup.
Discord — Bot token and application ID. See Discord setup.
Telegram — Bot token from BotFather. See Telegram setup.

Using channels in pipelines

Deliver agent output to a channel using deliver_to in your pipeline steps:

steps:
  - agent: my-agent
    action: "Summarise today's news"
    deliver_to: slack:#general

Supported deliver_to values:

Format	Target
`slack:#channel-name`	Slack channel
`discord:channel-id`	Discord channel
`telegram:@username`	Telegram user or group
`webhook:https://...`	Any HTTP endpoint

Human-in-the-loop approvals

Add hitl: true to a step to pause and wait for a human to approve before the output is delivered:

steps:
  - agent: my-agent
    action: "Draft this week's newsletter"
    hitl: true
    deliver_to: slack:#marketing

The dashboard will show a pending approval card. Once approved, the output is delivered to the configured channel.
