# How to connect Appointo to OpenClaw (paste one key, 11 tools) > Connect Appointo to OpenClaw with ClawLink: paste your Appointo key once and 11 tools work from chat. No MCP server to run, nothing stored on your machine. Web version: https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/appointo The usual route to Appointo access for OpenClaw is an MCP server you configure and keep running, plus your own OAuth app or API keys. ClawLink gives OpenClaw a more practical Appointo setup: install one ClawHub skill, connect Appointo in the browser, and OpenClaw can call real Appointo actions from any chat surface with no auth, token refresh, or tool wiring to build yourself. ## Setup It takes three steps to connect OpenClaw to Appointo. 1. **Install ClawLink** — add the plugin to OpenClaw once. 2. **Connect Appointo** — one-click OAuth in the ClawLink dashboard. 3. **Use it from chat** — ask OpenClaw in plain English. **Paste this into OpenClaw to set up ClawLink:** > I want to connect my apps to OpenClaw through ClawLink. > Please install the ClawLink plugin from ClawHub and enable it: `openclaw plugins install clawhub:clawlink-plugin` > When it is installed, tell me and stop. After I reply, give me the ClawLink pairing link. Setup notes, if you need them: https://claw-link.dev/skill.md **Alternative for any agent (no plugin needed):** if the OpenClaw plugin route isn't available or doesn't work, any AI agent with shell access can use the ClawLink CLI instead: ```bash npx -y @useclawlink/cli login # sign in via browser — no API key to paste npx -y @useclawlink/cli connect appointo # connect Appointo (browser OAuth) npx -y @useclawlink/cli actions appointo # list available actions npx -y @useclawlink/cli run appointo --input '' # execute (add --confirm for writes) ``` ### Install by command The setup prompt above does all of this in one paste. By hand, it is one install command plus a browser approval: ```bash openclaw plugins install clawhub:clawlink-plugin ``` Then ask OpenClaw to set up ClawLink. It starts browser pairing and prints an approval link — open it, approve the device, return to the chat, and say `done`. Finally, connect Appointo in the [ClawLink dashboard](https://claw-link.dev/dashboard) — paste your Appointo API key once. Verify the connection by asking OpenClaw: > Use Appointo to authenticate and walk me through the result in plain English. ### Using a different agent? The OpenClaw plugin is one client of ClawLink's MCP server. Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, or any agent that can run a shell command pairs with the same ClawLink account through the CLI: ```bash npx -y @useclawlink/cli login ``` `login` opens the same browser approval and stores a credential locally. Once Appointo is connected in the dashboard, that agent calls the same 11 Appointo tools over MCP.

ClawLink connects Appointo to OpenClaw and exposes 11 Appointo tools your agent can call over [MCP](https://claw-link.dev/learn/what-is-an-mcp-server), with [hosted auth](https://claw-link.dev/learn/oauth-for-ai-agents) and nothing to run or maintain yourself. Using Hermes instead? The [Hermes Appointo integration](https://claw-link.dev/hermes/appointo) works the same way. ## What the OpenClaw Appointo integration can do 11 Appointo tools are ready for OpenClaw once the account is connected. ### All 11 Appointo tools for OpenClaw | Tool | What it does | |---|---| | **Authenticate** `appointo_authenticate` | Authenticate with the Appointo API by validating the APPOINTO-TOKEN header | | **Get appointment availability** `appointo_get_appointment_availability` | Get calendar availability for a specific appointment | | **List appointments** `appointo_list_appointments` | List appointments | | **List bookings** `appointo_list_bookings` | List bookings | | **List products** `appointo_list_products` | Fetch all available products | | **List subscription contracts** `appointo_list_subscription_contracts` | List subscription contracts | | **Create booking** `appointo_create_booking` | Create a new booking | | **Reschedule booking** `appointo_reschedule_booking` | Reschedule an existing booking to a new timeslot | | **Update booking** `appointo_update_booking` | Update buffer times for an existing booking | | **Upsert appointment config** `appointo_upsert_appointment_config` | Upsert availability config for an appointment | | **Cancel booking** `appointo_cancel_booking` | Cancel a booking or selected customers | ## Example prompts **Authenticate** > Use Appointo to authenticate and walk me through the result in plain English. **Get Appointment Availability** > Pull the relevant data from Appointo, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. **List Appointments** > List the relevant items in Appointo, group them by priority, and recommend what OpenClaw should do next. **List Bookings** > List the relevant items in Appointo, group them by priority, and recommend what OpenClaw should do next. ## ClawLink vs. building it yourself The alternative to ClawLink is usually manual API key setup plus your own token handling, permission troubleshooting, and tool plumbing for OpenClaw. That is fine if you want to build and maintain the integration yourself. Most teams just want Appointo working from chat. | | Manual | ClawLink | |---|---|---| | **Credential handling** | Collect, validate, store, and rotate the Appointo API key yourself, then make sure every tool call uses the right account. | Users complete the hosted ClawLink setup once and the connected Appointo account becomes available to the agent without you building credential management. | | **Ongoing maintenance** | You own refresh logic, permission debugging, environment config, and every provider-specific edge case for Appointo. | ClawLink handles the repetitive integration plumbing so your team can focus on the workflow instead of the infrastructure. | | **Agent usability** | You still need to expose the right Appointo actions to the runtime in a format your agent can reliably use. | 11 tools for Appointo are already exposed through ClawLink, so the agent can read and act from chat immediately. | ## ClawLink vs. Composio Composio also exposes Appointo to AI agents. It is developer infrastructure: Python and TypeScript SDKs, an MCP server, and a catalog past 1,000 apps, aimed at teams shipping agent products. ClawLink is built for OpenClaw users instead. You install the plugin once, connect Appointo in the browser, and the 11 tools above work from chat. There is no SDK and no config file, and the Appointo key you paste at setup is stored server-side rather than kept in your environment. Choosing between them?

Make sure Appointo is connected in the dashboard, then start a fresh chat so OpenClaw reloads the tool catalog. If OpenClaw runs as a persistent gateway, restart it so the new tools register. ### Connection succeeds but no tools appear Reconnect Appointo from the dashboard, then start a fresh chat if the runtime still has the old tool catalog loaded. ### "Tool schema not loaded yet" error when calling Appointo tools Appointo tool schemas load on demand the first time a tool runs and are cached after that, so this error usually clears on its own: wait a few seconds and retry the same request. If every Appointo call keeps failing with it in a fresh chat, reconnect from the dashboard, and contact support if it still persists — that pattern points to a configuration problem on our side, not something you can fix by reconnecting again. ### Appointo returns 403 or "permission denied" on one action while others work Two usual causes. The connected account may not have access to the specific workspace, inbox, store, or project in the request — check that first. If access looks right, the agent may have sent a placeholder value (like "YOUR_ID" or an example id from documentation) instead of a real one: ask it to run a list or search tool first, then retry the action with a real id from those results. Most failures at this stage are one of these two, not ClawLink bugs. ### API key setup works but results look incomplete Double-check that the API key for Appointo has the right scopes or account access. A valid key can still be too limited for some reads or writes. ### Is there a OpenClaw Appointo integration? Yes. ClawLink is the fastest way to connect OpenClaw to Appointo: link your Appointo account once in the browser and OpenClaw can call the Appointo API through 11 ready-made tools — no custom code or token handling. ### How do I add Appointo to OpenClaw with ClawLink? Paste the setup prompt from this page into OpenClaw. It installs the ClawLink Appointo skill from ClawHub, then you click Connect in the dashboard to authorize Appointo. OpenClaw calls the tools from the next message — no config files, and the Appointo key you paste is stored server-side instead of in your environment. ### How long does it take to connect Appointo to OpenClaw? About two minutes. Sign in, click Connect next to Appointo in the dashboard, authenticate, and OpenClaw can use it from the next chat message. ### Why use ClawLink instead of wiring Appointo up myself? The alternative to ClawLink is usually manual API key setup plus your own token handling, permission troubleshooting, and tool plumbing for OpenClaw. That is fine if you want to build and maintain the integration yourself. Most teams just want Appointo working from chat. ### OpenClaw installed the Appointo skill but can't call the tools The ClawHub skill teaches OpenClaw about Appointo, but the calls run through the ClawLink plugin and your connected account. Make sure Appointo is connected in the dashboard, then start a fresh chat so OpenClaw reloads the tool catalog. If OpenClaw runs as a persistent gateway, restart it so the new tools register. ## Related - [OpenClaw Cloudcart integration](https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/cloudcart) — CloudCart is an e-commerce platform that enables businesses to create and manage online stores efficiently. - [Wix](https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/wix) — Manage sites, products, orders, and bookings - [OpenClaw Baselinker integration](https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/baselinker) — BaseLinker is a comprehensive e-commerce management platform that integrates with various marketplaces, online stores, carriers, and accounting systems to streamline order processing, inventory management, and sales automation.
