Group Rules with requireMention and mentionPatterns
Set group requireMention and messages mentionPatterns so OpenClaw only responds when explicitly addressed.
Calm in Group Chats
In a busy group, you do not want your assistant replying to everything. Group rules let it stay quiet until it is actually addressed. 🤫
Meet requireMention
The key for this is requireMention. Turn it on for a group and OpenClaw only answers when someone explicitly mentions it.
groups: {
"*": { requireMention: true }
