How to Connect OpenClaw with Google Workspace
Follow these steps to connect Google Workspace services like Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Docs, and Sheets with OpenClaw.
Open Google Cloud Console and create a new project for your OpenClaw integration.
- Go to Google Cloud Console
- Click Select Project → New Project
- Enter a project name
- Click Create
This project will manage your Google Workspace API access.
After creating the project:
- Open APIs & Services → Library
- Search and enable:
- Gmail API
- Google Calendar API
- Google Drive API
- Google Docs API
- Google Sheets API
Enable only the services you actually plan to use with OpenClaw.
Now configure OAuth authentication.
- Open APIs & Services → OAuth Consent Screen
- Choose: Internal (for Workspace organizations) or External (for personal Google accounts)
- Add: App name, Support email, Developer contact email, Save the configuration
This allows Google users to authorize OpenClaw securely.
Next, create OAuth client credentials.
- Open APIs & Services → Credentials
- Click Create Credentials
- Select OAuth Client ID
- Choose: Web Application or Desktop App
- Add redirect URLs if required
- Click Create
- Download the generated credentials JSON file.
Inside your OpenClaw setup:
- Upload the OAuth credentials JSON file
- Or add the credentials using environment variables
- Save the integration settings
If you are self-hosting, this step may require CLI or server access.
Start the Google Workspace connection flow inside OpenClaw.
Google will ask permission to access selected services like:
- Gmail
- Calendar
- Drive
- Docs
- Sheets
Approve the requested permissions to complete the setup.
After connecting successfully, test a few workflows such as:
- Gmail follow-ups
- Calendar scheduling
- Drive file access
- Sheets or Docs workflows
If everything works correctly, your OpenClaw Google Workspace integration is ready to use.
