Gmail and Outlook Email Integration
Yes. With the gog skill (Google Workspace integration), OpenClaw can read, compose, reply to, and manage Gmail messages. It can triage your inbox, draft responses, flag important emails, and send automated follow-ups. All access is via OAuth — OpenClaw never sees your password.
Supported Email Providers
OpenClaw's primary email integration is with Gmail through the Google Workspace (gog) skill. This covers both free Gmail accounts and paid Google Workspace business accounts. For Microsoft Outlook and Office 365 users, community-built skills provide similar functionality through the Microsoft Graph API. IMAP-based providers like Yahoo Mail, ProtonMail, and Fastmail can also be connected using the generic IMAP skill, though with fewer automation features than the native Gmail integration.
How Email Integration Works
OpenClaw connects to your email through secure OAuth 2.0 authentication, meaning it never stores or handles your password directly. Once authorized, the agent can monitor your inbox in real time, categorize incoming messages by priority, draft context-aware replies based on your communication style, and schedule emails to be sent at optimal times. You can configure rules for automatic responses to common inquiries, set up digest summaries of unread messages delivered via WhatsApp or Telegram, and create follow-up reminders for messages that need attention.
Common Email Automation Use Cases
Business owners commonly use OpenClaw to handle appointment confirmations, respond to frequently asked questions, forward urgent messages to their phone via WhatsApp, and compile daily inbox summaries. The agent can also manage multiple email accounts simultaneously, making it ideal for professionals who juggle personal and business correspondence. For teams, OpenClaw can route incoming emails to the right department based on content analysis and maintain consistent response times even outside business hours.
