Gateway Setup
Connect your OpenClaw gateway to schedule AI agent jobs. ClawTick communicates with your gateway via WebSocket Protocol v3.
Prerequisites
- A running OpenClaw gateway (on a VPS, cloud server, or exposed via tunnel)
- Your gateway URL and authentication token
Configuration
- Go to Dashboard → Gateway
- Enter your Gateway URL (e.g.
http://your-vps-ip:80) - Enter your Gateway Token (from OpenClaw config)
- Click Save
- Click Test Connection to verify
Device Pairing
On first connection, ClawTick needs to pair with your gateway. The gateway will show a device pairing request with the name "ClawTick Scheduler".
Approve via OpenClaw Dashboard
Go to Settings → Devices in your OpenClaw dashboard and approve the pending request.
Approve via CLI
openclaw devices approve <requestId> --token YOUR_GATEWAY_TOKENReplace <requestId> with the ID shown in the ClawTick pairing modal.
Troubleshooting
| Issue | Solution |
|---|---|
| Connection timeout | Ensure gateway is reachable from the internet. Check firewall rules. |
| Authentication failed | Verify your gateway token is correct and not expired. |
| Pairing required | Approve the device in your OpenClaw dashboard. |
| Gateway not reachable | If running locally, expose via ngrok, Cloudflare Tunnel, or reverse proxy. |
Tip: Use the Test Connection button after any changes to verify ClawTick can reach your gateway.
