OpenClaw + Zapier Integration Guide — Connect Your AI Agent

Why Connect OpenClaw with Zapier?

Zapier is one of the most popular tools for no-code automation across 5000+ apps. By integrating OpenClaw with Zapier, your AI agent can automatically interact with your Zapier workspace — reading data, sending messages, and triggering actions without manual intervention.

What You Can Build

• Automated responses — Your AI agent monitors Zapier and responds to messages, questions, or events automatically
• Data sync — Pull data from Zapier into your agent's context for smarter decisions
• Notifications — Get AI-generated summaries and alerts in Zapier
• Workflow triggers — Use Zapier events to trigger complex AI workflows

Setup Guide

Prerequisites

• OpenClaw installed on your server (Quick install guide)
• A Zapier account with API access or webhook permissions
• Basic familiarity with OpenClaw configuration

Step 1: Configure OpenClaw Channel

OpenClaw supports Zapier as a native channel. Add the Zapier configuration to your OpenClaw config file:

channels:
  zapier:
    enabled: true
    # Add your Zapier credentials here

Step 2: Set Up Your Agent's Personality

Create a SOUL.md file that defines how your agent behaves in Zapier. The personality should match the context — professional for work tools, friendly for community platforms.

Step 3: Test the Integration

Send a test message in Zapier and verify your OpenClaw agent responds correctly. Check the OpenClaw logs for any connection issues.
