Discord Actions for OpenClaw

Discord Actions

Overview

Use discord to manage messages, reactions, threads, polls, and moderation. You can disable groups via discord.actions.* (defaults to enabled, except roles/moderation). The tool uses the bot token configured for OpenClaw.

Inputs to collect

• For reactions: channelId, messageId, and an emoji.
• For fetchMessage: guildId, channelId, messageId, or a messageLink like https://discord.com/channels/<guildId>/<channelId>/<messageId>.
• For stickers/polls/sendMessage: a to target (channel:<id> or user:<id>). Optional content text.
• Polls also need a question plus 2–10 answers.
• For media: mediaUrl with file:///path for local files or https://... for remote.
• For emoji uploads: guildId, name, mediaUrl, optional roleIds (limit 256KB, PNG/JPG/GIF).
• For sticker uploads: guildId, name, description, tags, mediaUrl (limit 512KB, PNG/APNG/Lottie JSON).

Message context lines include discord message id and channel fields you can reuse directly.

Note: sendMessage uses to: "channel:<id>" format, not channelId. Other actions like react, readMessages, editMessage use channelId directly. Note: fetchMessage accepts message IDs or full links like https://discord.com/channels/<guildId>/<channelId>/<messageId>.
