webhooks gmail run

Run gog watch serve plus the watch auto-renew loop in the foreground.

openclaw webhooks gmail run --account you@example.com

run accepts the same gog watch serve, OpenClaw delivery, Pub/Sub, and Tailscale flags as setup, except:

  • --account is optional on run (it falls back to the configured account).
  • run does not accept --project, --push-endpoint, or --json.
  • run flags have no built-in defaults; missing values fall back to the values written by setup.
Category Flags
Pub/Sub --account, --topic, --subscription, --label
OpenClaw delivery --hook-url, --hook-token, --push-token
gog watch serve --bind, --port, --path, --include-body, --max-bytes, --renew-minutes
Tailscale --tailscale, --tailscale-path, --tailscale-target
For `run`, the `--topic` value is the full Pub/Sub topic path (`projects/.../topics/...`), not just the short topic name.

End-to-end flow

See Gmail Pub/Sub integration for the GCP project, OAuth, and gateway-side setup that pairs with these CLI commands.
