Creating Relay Rules

A relay rule is DLinkClaw’s core automation unit: when an event happens, run actions.

Rule Structure

A relay rule has three parts:

trigger:      # Trigger condition
  type: message_received
  source: any

condition:    # Optional filter
  channel: "#support"

action:       # Actions to run
  - type: notify
    target: "@oncall"
  - type: create_task
    board: "Support"

How to Create

1. Open the DLinkClaw client and go to the Workflows page.
2. Click “New Relay Rule”.
3. Choose a trigger type (message, schedule, webhook, file change, etc.).
4. Configure conditions and actions — chain multiple action nodes.
5. Save and enable.

Common Triggers

Trigger	Description
message_received	Fires when a message arrives
schedule	Fires on a Cron schedule
webhook	Fires when called via webhook
file_changed	Fires when a watched file changes
agent_completed	Fires when an agent task completes

Debugging

Enable “Debug Mode” to get a run log for every trigger, with per-node inputs and outputs.
