What This Skill Does
Sends messages, monitors streams, and manages users on Zulip servers through an OpenClaw plugin. Supports direct messages, stream/topic targeting, reactions, and real-time event handling with deduplication.
Replaces manual Zulip API scripting or custom bot development by providing a pre-built bridge with automatic markdown conversion, media uploads, and deduplication.
When to Use It
- Send automated alerts to a Zulip stream or topic from a script
- Monitor a Zulip stream for new messages and respond to @mentions
- Invite a user to a specific Zulip stream
- Add or remove emoji reactions on a Zulip message
- Check whether a Zulip user is currently online
- Create a new Zulip stream with a given name and description

- Stream Management: Create, edit, and list Zulip streams.
- User Actions: Invite users to streams and check user presence.

Usage Guide
Messaging Targets
- Streams: Use
stream:STREAM_NAME(e.g.,stream:bot-testing). - Topics: Use
stream:STREAM_NAME:TOPIC_NAME(e.g.,stream:bot-testing:alerts). - Direct Messages: Use
user:EMAIL(e.g.,user:alice@example.com).
Workflow
- Setup: Ensure the Zulip plugin is installed and credentials (
email,apiKey,site) are configured inside~/.openclaw/openclaw.json. - Context: When an event arrives from Zulip, the agent will automatically have context including the
messageId,senderId, andstream/topic. - Response: Use the
messagingtool to respond. The bridge will handle chunking, markdown conversion, and media uploads automatically.
Constraints
- Admin Actions: Actions like deactivating users require
enableAdminActions: truein the configuration. - Mention Gating: By default, the bot only responds to @mentions in streams unless
chatmodeis changed.

Covers bot creation on Feishu Open Platform, credential setup, bridge startup, macOS launchd auto-restart, and group chat behavior tuning.
Zoho CRM
@byungkyuZoho CRM API integration with managed OAuth. Manage leads, contacts, accounts, deals, and other CRM records. Use this skill when users want to read, create, update, or delete CRM records, search contacts, manage sales pipelines, access organization settings, manage users, or retrieve module metadata in Zoho CRM. For other third party apps, use the api-gateway skill (https://clawhub.ai/byungkyu/api-gateway). Requires network access and valid Maton API key. Calls run through the `maton` CLI with OAuth login, or over raw HTTP with a Maton API key where the CLI cannot be installed. Every call is authenticated as the user's connection and reaches only what that connection's authorization allows, which the provider enforces on every request; the endpoints documented here are the ones this skill uses, and any other endpoint of this app needs the user to ask for it by name. Default to read and list calls, and confirm every write or new connection with the user. This file also documents the three constructs that turn a Zoho CRM connection into automation, in the order they are used: the connection (the first step), a hosted function that runs a Zoho CRM action through the Maton SDK, and a trigger that calls that function on a schedule or on an event. Those sections are the platform's own reference text, shared with the api-gateway skill, with Zoho CRM examples; they add no Zoho CRM capability - Zoho CRM is not an event source, a trigger cannot read Zoho CRM data, and the files under `references/<source>/triggers.md` are the platform's event catalogues for the sources Maton offers (time, Calendly, GitHub, Gmail, HubSpot, Linear, Notion, Slack, Stripe).
