OpenClaw Ops — Gateway Automation Without a Plugin
Operational runbooks for automating the Clawfinger voice gateway using only OpenClaw skills and REST calls. No plugin installation required — just curl commands and OpenClaw's built-in scheduling/webhook features.
Use this when you want quick automation (health monitoring, scheduled policy changes, event-driven actions) without installing the full Clawfinger OpenClaw plugin.
For full plugin-based automation with real-time WS bridge, takeover, and tool calling, see OpenClaw Plugin.
For full API reference, see Voice Gateway.
Prerequisites
Clawfinger gateway running and reachable (default: http://127.0.0.1:8996)
# Get active sessions first
SESSIONS=$(curl -s "$GW/api/agent/sessions")
SID=$(echo"$SESSIONS" | jq -r '.[0]')
# Inject speech
curl -s -X POST "$GW/api/agent/inject" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d "{\"text\": \"Please hold, I am looking that up for you.\", \"session_id\": \"$SID\"}" | jq .
curl -s -X POST "$GW/api/config/call" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"greeting_incoming": "Hello, I am {owner}'\''s assistant. How can I help you?",
"greeting_owner": "Markus"
}' | jq .
curl -s -X POST "$GW/api/instructions" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"text": "You are a concise, professional real-time voice assistant. Keep responses under 2 sentences."}' | jq .
Set per-session instructions
curl -s -X POST "$GW/api/instructions/$SID" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"text": "This caller is a VIP customer. Be extra helpful and patient."}' | jq .
Set one-shot turn instruction
curl -s -X POST "$GW/api/instructions/$SID/turn" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"text": "End this turn by asking the caller to confirm their email address."}' | jq .
These REST operations can be composed into OpenClaw skills for more complex automation:
Pre-call setup: Set instructions + dial + inject context in sequence
Post-call cleanup: Read call state, save transcript, reset session
Escalation: Monitor sessions, inject context when keywords detected, take over via plugin if needed
Reporting: Periodic session listing + call state extraction for analytics
For real-time event-driven automation (reacting to turn.complete, agent.takeover, etc.), use the OpenClaw Clawfinger Plugin which provides a persistent WebSocket bridge.
