``` Examples: ```bash scripts/setup_gateway_notify.sh imessage user@example.com scripts/setup_gateway_notify.sh whatsapp +1234567890 scripts/setup_gateway_notify.sh telegram @username ``` The script will: 1. Create the hook directory at `~/.openclaw/hooks/gateway-restart-notify` 2. Generate the handler with the specified channel configuration 3. Enable the hook in OpenClaw config 4. Restart the gateway to activate ## How It Works The hook uses OpenClaw's internal hook system: - Listens for `gateway:startup` events - Collects gateway status (model, time, port) - Sends notification via the configured channel CLI ## Supported Channels See [CHANNELS.md](references/CHANNELS.md) for channel-specific CLI commands and address formats. ## Manual Setup If you need to customize the hook, see [MANUAL.md](references/MANUAL.md) for step-by-step instructions. --- > Source: [deemoartisan/gateway-notify](https://github.com/deemoartisan/gateway-notify) — distributed by [TomeVault](https://tomevault.io).
