Agents in Leadtime are bot users that can act on tasks and through the API. Use them when work should be clearly attributed to an automation instead of a person.
The bot settings page offers three starting points. Each one is meant for a different level of automation.
Use API tokens: best for scripts, backend jobs, and integrations that call the Leadtime API as this bot.
Connect OpenClaw: best when you already run OpenClaw and want a guided setup that configures tokens, webhooks, and sessions.
Build a wrapper: best when you want to host your own runtime that receives task session webhooks and reports progress back.
A task-bound session starts when a webhook-enabled bot is assigned to a task or mentioned in a task comment. Leadtime creates the session, sends a signed webhook to your runtime, and shows progress in the task history.
Normal task actions still use the bot identity. That means comments, status changes, and updates are visible in audit history as actions from the bot.
