Run Dev.to from a chat message
OpenClaw executes the postqueen CLI on your own machine, so a single message can create, schedule or reschedule Dev.to articles with no dashboard open.
Dev.toAutomate Dev.to with OpenClaw
Message your agent from the chat apps you already use and it drafts, schedules and publishes Dev.to articles through postqueen while you get on with your day.
Quick start
Install the postqueen CLI on the machine OpenClaw runs on, then drive Dev.to from any chat thread.
Terminal
# Give OpenClaw the postqueen CLInpm install -g postqueenexport POSTQUEEN_API_KEY=your_api_key # Then message your agent:# "Draft three Dev.to articles about our# launch and schedule them for this week"What OpenClaw can run on Dev.to
Windows that fit Dev.to
Tell OpenClaw when your readers are most active and it schedules articles into that window on Dev.to, day after day, without reminders.
Long-form arrives intact
OpenClaw hands postqueen the full draft, formatting included, and it lands on your Dev.to profiles as complete articles, ready for readers.
Drafts until you are ready
Ask OpenClaw for drafts only. They sit on the postqueen calendar unscheduled, so you can edit them and pick the time yourself, and nothing reaches your readers on Dev.to until you do.
Three steps to a full queue
Discover Dev.to
OpenClaw calls postqueen to list your connected profiles and sees what Dev.to supports, so drafts start from real capabilities, not guesses.
Draft with OpenClaw
Give it the brief. The agent writes Dev.to-shaped articles and proposes publish times that match when your readers are around.
Check and publish
Look over the queue on the postqueen calendar and change anything you want. postqueen publishes each post at its time, and OpenClaw can pull the results after.
What Dev.to allows
OpenClaw reads these limits from postqueen before it composes, so a draft that would be rejected never reaches the queue.

F.A.Q.
Frequently asked questions
How does OpenClaw connect Dev.to to postqueen?
Install the postqueen CLI where OpenClaw runs commands and export your API key. Every command returns JSON, so the agent can create, schedule and list Dev.to articles reliably.
Can OpenClaw schedule Dev.to articles at exact times?
Yes. Give it exact slots or a rule like mornings at nine and it sets publish times on the articles it creates, so your readers see them at the right moment.
Will OpenClaw publish to Dev.to on its own?
Only if you ask it to. Tell it to save drafts and nothing is scheduled: the articles wait on the calendar until you set a time. Tell it to schedule, and they go out at the times you can see, which is the setup most people move to once they trust the output.
Can one brief cover Dev.to and other channels too?
Yes. postqueen connects 30 channels, so OpenClaw can turn the same brief into Dev.to articles plus adapted versions for every other channel you run.
Does OpenClaw access cost extra on postqueen?
No. The agent uses your regular API key and plan limits: unlimited posts on every plan, and channel counts from 5 on Creator up to uncapped on Ultimate.
What do I need to connect Dev.to to postqueen?
Just a personal API key, which you generate in your Dev.to account settings. postqueen publishes through the official API, so there is no browser automation and nothing fragile. Once connected, every scheduled article posts under your own profile.
What formats do Dev.to articles support?
Articles are written in Markdown with fenced code blocks and syntax highlighting, plus liquid tag embeds for things like YouTube videos and GitHub repos. You can attach a cover image and up to 4 tags per article. postqueen keeps your Markdown intact from draft to publish.
