README (SKILL.md)

Gmail via ClawLink

Work with Gmail from chat — search messages, read threads, manage drafts and labels, and send or reply to email.

Powered by ClawLink, an integration hub for OpenClaw that handles hosted connection flows and credentials so you don't need to configure Gmail API access yourself.

Quick start

  1. Install the verified ClawLink plugin: openclaw plugins install clawhub:clawlink-plugin
  2. Start a fresh OpenClaw chat if the plugin was just installed and ClawLink tools are not visible yet
  3. If ClawLink is not configured, call clawlink_begin_pairing
  4. Tell the user to open the returned pairing URL, sign in to ClawLink if needed, and approve the device
  5. After the user confirms approval, call clawlink_get_pairing_status
  6. Tell the user to connect Gmail at claw-link.dev/dashboard?add=gmail
  7. When the user confirms Gmail is connected, call clawlink_list_integrations and then clawlink_list_tools with the gmail integration slug

Setup details

Installing the plugin

If the ClawLink plugin is not installed yet, tell the user to run:

openclaw plugins install clawhub:clawlink-plugin

If the current chat started before the plugin was installed and ClawLink tools are still unavailable, tell the user to start a fresh chat so OpenClaw reloads the plugin tool catalog.

Pairing ClawLink

If ClawLink reports that the plugin is not configured, the plugin has not been paired with the user's ClawLink account yet.

  1. Call clawlink_begin_pairing.
  2. Tell the user to open the returned pairing URL in their browser.
  3. The user signs in to ClawLink if needed and approves the OpenClaw device.
  4. After the user confirms approval, call clawlink_get_pairing_status to finish local setup.

The resulting device credential is stored locally in OpenClaw's plugin config and is only sent to claw-link.dev. The user should not paste raw credentials into chat.

Connecting Gmail

Tell the user to open https://claw-link.dev/dashboard?add=gmail and connect Gmail there. The page opens the add-connection panel filtered to Gmail. ClawLink's hosted page runs the Google account connection flow — the user clicks through Google sign-in and consent. When they confirm it is done, call clawlink_list_integrations to verify, then call clawlink_list_tools with integration gmail.

Using Gmail tools

ClawLink provides tools dynamically based on what the user has connected. You do not need to know tool names or schemas in advance.

Discovery

  1. Call clawlink_list_integrations to confirm Gmail is connected.
  2. Call clawlink_list_tools with integration gmail.
  3. Treat the returned list as the source of truth. Do not guess or assume what tools exist.
  4. If the user describes a capability but the exact tool is unclear, call clawlink_search_tools with a short query and integration gmail.
  5. If no Gmail tools appear, direct the user to https://claw-link.dev/dashboard?add=gmail.

Execution

  1. Call clawlink_describe_tool before using an unfamiliar tool, before any write, or when the request is ambiguous.
  2. Use the returned schema, whenToUse, askBefore, safeDefaults, examples, and followups.
  3. Prefer read, list, search, and get operations before writes.
  4. For sends, replies, forwards, draft creation, label changes, archive/delete actions, signature changes, or anything marked as requiring confirmation, call clawlink_preview_tool first, then confirm with the user.
  5. Execute with clawlink_call_tool.
  6. If it fails, report the real error. Do not invent results or restate the failure as a missing capability unless the live catalog supports that conclusion.

What you can do

Typical Gmail tasks (actual availability depends on the user's connected account, permissions, scopes, and current ClawLink tool catalog):

  • Search and fetch messages from the inbox
  • Read messages by message or thread
  • List conversation threads, labels, and send-as aliases
  • Create email drafts
  • Send email, reply to threads, or forward messages after confirmation
  • Create, apply, remove, or inspect labels
  • Archive, trash, or restore messages after confirmation
  • Retrieve attachment content when available
  • Check the connected Gmail profile before acting on "my inbox" requests

Rules

  • Always use ClawLink tools for Gmail. Do not ask the user for separate Gmail credentials.
  • Do not claim a capability is missing without checking the live ClawLink catalog in the current turn.
  • Do not invent slash commands or ask the user to paste raw credentials.
  • Ask for confirmation before sending email, replying, forwarding, creating drafts, changing labels, archiving, deleting, or making bulk changes.
  • If Gmail is not connected, direct the user to https://claw-link.dev/dashboard?add=gmail.
  • Never echo or repeat the user's ClawLink credential.

Resources

Usage Guidance
Before installing, make sure you trust ClawLink and the ClawLink plugin, review the Google permissions you approve, and carefully confirm previews before any email is sent, deleted, archived, relabeled, or changed in bulk.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: gmail-email Version: 0.1.0 The gmail-email skill (SKILL.md, _meta.json) provides instructions for an AI agent to manage Gmail via the ClawLink integration service (claw-link.dev). The skill follows a standard OAuth-style pairing flow and includes explicit safety instructions, such as requiring user confirmation before the agent performs sensitive actions like sending, deleting, or archiving emails. The behavior is transparently documented and strictly aligned with the stated purpose of providing a Gmail interface for the OpenClaw agent.
Capability Assessment
ℹ Purpose & Capability
The stated purpose matches the documented capabilities: searching and reading Gmail, managing drafts/labels, and sending or replying to email. These are sensitive capabilities, but they are clearly disclosed.
ℹ Instruction Scope
The instructions require tool discovery, preview, and user confirmation before sends, replies, forwards, drafts, label changes, archive/delete actions, and bulk changes. This is appropriate, though the actions remain high-impact if confirmed incorrectly.
ℹ Install Mechanism
The skill is instruction-only and asks the user to install the ClawLink plugin. The plugin code is outside this artifact review, but the install is user-directed and central to the Gmail integration purpose.
ℹ Credentials
OAuth-style Gmail connection through ClawLink is proportionate for this skill, but registry metadata does not declare a primary credential or capability tags even though SKILL.md documents account connection and Gmail access.
ℹ Persistence & Privilege
The skill discloses that a ClawLink device credential is stored locally in OpenClaw plugin config and sent to claw-link.dev. This persistence is expected for the integration but should be understood before use.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install gmail-email
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /gmail-email
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
