Frequently Asked Questions
Can OpenClaw edit my spreadsheets or just read them?
Both, depending on permissions you grant. With read-only scope, it can query and summarize. With read-write, it can add rows and update cells.
How does it find the right spreadsheet?
OpenClaw searches your Google Drive for spreadsheets matching the name you describe. You can also provide a specific spreadsheet URL or ID for precision.
Does it work with large spreadsheets?
Yes, but very large sheets (10,000+ rows) may be slower. For best performance, specify the sheet tab and rough row range when querying large datasets.
