Overview​

Use OpenClaw cron for persistent recurring jobs and one-shot reminders with predictable timing, even when the chat session is idle.

OpenClaw Implementation Steps​

1) Config enablement​

  • Enable cron, sessions_spawn, and message.
  • Decide whether each task should run in main (system event) or isolated (agent turn).

2) API setup​

  • If reminders are delivered externally, connect the target channel API (Discord/Telegram/Signal).
  • Optional: connect calendar API to create schedule-aware reminders.

3) Operations setup​

  • Define recurring jobs with cron expressions and one-shot jobs with absolute time.
  • Include clear reminder text with context and urgency level.
  • Review run history weekly and disable stale jobs.
  • Store high-value reminder outcomes in Vault.
