What are integrations?
Integrations are the bridges between OpenClaw and the tools you already use. When you connect an integration, you're giving OpenClaw permission to read from and write to that service on your behalf.
Available integrations
OpenClaw supports 17 integrations across communication, productivity, developer tools, and media:
- Communication: Email, Telegram, Slack, Notifications
- Productivity: Calendar, Todoist, Google Docs, Sheets
- Developer Tools: GitHub, Browser, Web, Web Search
- Media: YouTube, RSS, TTS, Whisper
Each integration has specific capabilities. For example, the Email integration can read your inbox, draft replies, send messages, and manage labels — but it can't access your contacts list (yet).
How connections work
When you connect an integration, OpenClaw uses OAuth or API keys to establish a secure connection. Your credentials are encrypted and stored on your dedicated Mac Mini — they never leave your device.
Getting the most out of integrations
The key insight is that integrations become more powerful when combined. A single integration answers a question; multiple integrations automate a workflow.
Start with one or two integrations you use daily, get comfortable with what they can do, and then add more as you discover new automation opportunities.
