What is Notify - Smart Notification Delivery?
Notify is a sophisticated communication management layer designed for AI agents within the Openclaw Skills ecosystem. It solves the critical problem of notification fatigue by providing a structured approach to channel selection, timing, and message formatting. Instead of bombarding users with every minor update, Notify intelligently routes alerts based on urgency, batches related tasks, and respects user-defined quiet hours.
By leveraging this skill, developers can ensure their agents communicate professionally and effectively. It differentiates between critical system failures that require immediate SMS or push alerts and routine task completions that can be summarized in a daily digest. The core value of this addition to Openclaw Skills is building long-term user trust through high-signal, low-noise communication.
Notify - Smart Notification Delivery Use Cases
- Routing critical security alerts or system downtime notifications to high-priority channels like SMS or Push for immediate visibility.
- Batching multiple subtask completion updates into a single summary message to prevent chat flooding.
- Scheduling non-urgent weekly reports and analytics to be delivered via email during the user's preferred business hours.
- Implementing escalation logic for unacknowledged critical tasks to ensure important items are never missed.
- Automating the delivery of debug logs and internal status updates to silent log files rather than user-facing channels.
How Notify - Smart Notification Delivery Works
- The AI agent categorizes an event based on its type (System, Task, Summary, or Debug) and assigns an urgency level.
- The skill selects the most appropriate channel (Push, SMS, Email, or Chat) based on the mapped priority and user preferences.
- The system checks the user's current timezone and validates if the notification violates established quiet hours.
- If multiple notifications occur for the same project within a 5-15 minute window, they are automatically batched into a single summary.
- The content is reformatted to fit the technical constraints of the selected channel, such as character limits for SMS or list formatting for Telegram.
- For critical alerts, an escalation workflow monitors for a response and triggers secondary channels if the initial notification is ignored.
Notify - Smart Notification Delivery Setup
To integrate Notify within your Openclaw Skills environment, follow these steps:
- Define user preferences including primary channel, timezone, and quiet hour boundaries.
- Map your application events to the predefined notification levels (1-5).
- Install the skill into your agent workspace:
openclaw skill add notify
- Configure your API keys for secondary channels like Twilio (SMS) or SendGrid (Email) in your environment variables.
Notify - Smart Notification Delivery Data Schema & Taxonomy
The skill organizes notification logic using the following taxonomy:
| Attribute | Description |
|---|---|
| Urgency Level | Scale of 1-5 determining channel and quiet hour bypass. |
| Channel Map | Mapping of levels to Telegram, Discord, SMS, Email, or Push. |
| Quiet Hours | Default 23:00-08:00; configurable per user timezone. |
| Batching Logic | 5-15 minute windows for grouping related informational alerts. |
| Formatting | Channel-specific templates (e.g., Push: 50 char title / 100 char body). |
Notify - Smart Notification Delivery Advanced Features
- Multi-channel escalation logic that moves from Chat to SMS if critical alerts remain unread.
- Intelligent batching that combines 3+ notifications within 5 minutes into a single project summary.
- Timezone-aware delivery that queues non-critical messages for the user's next active window.
- Context-aware formatting that automatically converts complex Markdown tables into mobile-friendly bullet lists for chat apps.
- Automated 'Anti-spam' protection that prevents redundant notifications across multiple channels.
