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

  1. Go to Dashboard → Gateway
  2. Enter your Gateway URL (e.g. http://your-vps-ip:80)
  3. Enter your Gateway Token (from OpenClaw config)
  4. Click Save
  5. 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_TOKEN

Replace <requestId> with the ID shown in the ClawTick pairing modal.
