Run Medium from a chat message
OpenClaw executes the postqueen CLI on your own machine, so a single message can create, schedule or reschedule Medium stories with no dashboard open.
MediumAutomate Medium with OpenClaw
Message your agent from the chat apps you already use and it drafts, schedules and publishes Medium stories through postqueen while you get on with your day.
Quick start
Install the postqueen CLI on the machine OpenClaw runs on, then drive Medium 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 Medium stories about our# launch and schedule them for this week"What OpenClaw can run on Medium
Windows that fit Medium
Tell OpenClaw when your readers are most active and it schedules stories into that window on Medium, day after day, without reminders.
Long-form arrives intact
OpenClaw hands postqueen the full draft, formatting included, and it lands on your Medium publications as complete stories, 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 Medium until you do.
Three steps to a full queue
Discover Medium
OpenClaw calls postqueen to list your connected publications and sees what Medium supports, so drafts start from real capabilities, not guesses.
Draft with OpenClaw
Give it the brief. The agent writes Medium-shaped stories 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 Medium 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 Medium 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 Medium stories reliably.
Can OpenClaw schedule Medium stories at exact times?
Yes. Give it exact slots or a rule like mornings at nine and it sets publish times on the stories it creates, so your readers see them at the right moment.
Will OpenClaw publish to Medium on its own?
Only if you ask it to. Tell it to save drafts and nothing is scheduled: the stories 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 Medium and other channels too?
Yes. postqueen connects 30 channels, so OpenClaw can turn the same brief into Medium stories 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 Medium to postqueen?
An integration token, which you create in your Medium account settings. postqueen uses it to publish through the official API under your profile at the exact time you schedule. No password sharing and no browser automation involved.
What formats do Medium stories support?
Stories accept a Markdown or HTML body with headings, quotes, code blocks and inline images, plus up to 5 tags. You can also publish as public, unlisted or draft, which is handy when an editor wants a final look inside Medium. postqueen converts your draft cleanly so formatting survives the trip.
