Hey — Discord-side 404 almost always means OpenClaw is trying to POST /channels/<ID>/messages with an ID that isn’t actually a channel/thread ID (common: you accidentally used the server/guild ID), or the bot can’t see that channel.

Things to check in 2026.2.9 (“6.2.9”):

  1. Make sure you’re using a channel ID (or thread ID), not the guild ID
  • In Discord: enable Developer Mode → right‑click the channel (or the thread) → Copy ID
  • If you’re configuring any outbound target (cron “delivery”, message targets, etc), use the explicit target format:
    • channel:<channelId> for guild channels/threads
    • user:<userId> for DMs
      (Bare numbers are a footgun.)

Docs: https://docs.openclaw.ai/gateway/configuration-reference#discord

  1. If this is happening when replying inside a thread
    Discord threads have their own channel ID. If you used the parent channel’s ID (or the server’s ID), you’ll get weird routing / 404s.

  2. Grab the exact failing ID from logs (this will tell us immediately what’s wrong)
