Advanced Usage

Multi-Calendar Support

OpenClaw can access multiple calendars in your account — personal, work, shared team calendars.

Natural Language Event Creation

No need for exact formats. OpenClaw understands:

"Lunch with Mike next Tuesday at noon"
"Doctor appointment Friday 3pm for 45 minutes"
"Quarterly review — block off next Friday morning"

Timezone Intelligence

OpenClaw is timezone-aware. If you're traveling, just mention your location and it adjusts.

Privacy & Security

OAuth 2.0 only — your Google password is never shared with OpenClaw
Tokens stored locally and encrypted
Revoke access anytime at myaccount.google.com/permissions
Self-hosted users: all data stays on your server

Troubleshooting

Events not showing

Run gog auth --reset to refresh authentication
Check Calendar API is enabled in Google Cloud Console
Verify the calendar is your primary or explicitly shared

Can't create events

Ensure you granted write permissions during OAuth
Check for calendar subscription vs. owned calendar (can't write to subscribed calendars)

Workspace users: Access denied

Your Google Workspace admin may need to approve the OAuth app
Ask them to whitelist the app in Google Admin Console

Install gog skill

Run: clawdhub install gog — this installs the Google integration skill for OpenClaw.

Go to console.cloud.google.com, create a project, enable Google Calendar API, and create OAuth 2.0 credentials (Desktop app type).

Configure OpenClaw

Add gog skill config to ~/.openclaw/config.yaml with calendar scope enabled. Point it to your downloaded credentials JSON.

  gog:
    enabled: true
    credentials: ~/.openclaw/google-credentials.json

      - calendar

# Optional: daily briefing cron

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this work with free Gmail or only Google Workspace?

Both work. Free Gmail and Google Workspace accounts are fully supported. Workspace users may need their admin to approve the OAuth app first.

Can OpenClaw create and edit events, or just read them?

Both. OpenClaw can read your calendar, create new events, edit existing ones, and delete events — with your permission during setup.

Is my calendar data private?

Yes. OAuth 2.0 means your Google password is never shared. With self-hosted OpenClaw, all processing happens on your server. With Cloud, calendar data is processed to answer your query but never stored permanently.

Can it access shared team calendars?

Yes, as long as the calendar is shared with your Google account and you have the appropriate permissions.

Can I get automatic daily briefings?

Yes — set up a cron job in your OpenClaw config to deliver a schedule briefing to your Telegram or WhatsApp every morning.
