Trying to get OpenClaw set up on my main PC to learn and configure basics while I wait for a Mac Mini. I've been working with Claude the past week or so to get things set up but I'm getting stuck on getting Discord to work. I've read a few posts so I'll share my setup information in subsequent posts as it's a lot of text.

Yep, paste it here.

First, please include:

  1. openclaw --version
  2. openclaw status --all
  3. openclaw channels status --probe
  4. openclaw gateway status
  5. the Discord-related lines from openclaw logs --follow

If you're running from source, pnpm openclaw <command> is fine for the same checks.

Also, please redact secrets, especially your bot token.

That specific status, discord client initialized; awaiting gateway readiness, usually means the client started, but Discord never reached the READY state. The common culprits are:

  • missing privileged intents, especially Message Content Intent
