# How to connect Engage Platform to OpenClaw (paste one key, 18 tools) > Connect Engage Platform to OpenClaw with ClawLink: paste your Engage Platform key once and 18 tools work from chat. No MCP server to run, nothing stored on your machine. Web version: https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/engage-platform The usual route to Engage Platform 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 Engage Platform setup: install one ClawHub skill, connect Engage Platform in the browser, and OpenClaw can call real Engage Platform 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 Engage Platform. 1. **Install ClawLink** — add the plugin to OpenClaw once. 2. **Connect Engage Platform** — 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 engage-platform # connect Engage Platform (browser OAuth) npx -y @useclawlink/cli actions engage-platform # list available actions npx -y @useclawlink/cli run engage-platform --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 Engage Platform in the [ClawLink dashboard](https://claw-link.dev/dashboard) — paste your Engage Platform API key once. Verify the connection by asking OpenClaw: > Pull the relevant data from Engage Platform, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. ### 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 Engage Platform is connected in the dashboard, that agent calls the same 18 Engage Platform tools over MCP.

ClawLink connects Engage Platform to OpenClaw and exposes 18 Engage Platform 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 Engage Platform integration](https://claw-link.dev/hermes/engage-platform) works the same way. ## What the OpenClaw Engage Platform integration can do 18 Engage Platform tools are ready for OpenClaw once the account is connected. The 16 below are the ones people reach for most; your agent can call all 18. ### 16 of 18 Engage Platform tools for OpenClaw | Tool | What it does | |---|---| | **Get list** `engage_platform_get_list` | Retrieve an Engage list by its internal list ID | | **Get user** `engage_platform_get_user` | Retrieve one Engage customer or account by its caller-supplied application UID, not Engage's | | **List account members** `engage_platform_list_account_members` | List customers belonging to one Engage account identified by its application UID | | **List lists** `engage_platform_list_lists` | Return one cursor-controlled page of active Engage user lists | | **List users** `engage_platform_list_users` | Return one cursor-controlled page of Engage customers and accounts, optionally filtered by | | **Add user to accounts** `engage_platform_add_user_to_accounts` | Add a customer to one or more Engage accounts, optionally assigning a role in each account | | **Add user to lists** `engage_platform_add_user_to_lists` | Add and subscribe an existing user to one or more Engage lists | | **Create list** `engage_platform_create_list` | Create an Engage user list and return its Engage list ID for subscription tools | | **Create user** `engage_platform_create_user` | Create an Engage customer or account with a caller-chosen application UID | | **Set account member role** `engage_platform_set_account_member_role` | Set or replace a customer's role in one Engage account membership | | **Set list subscription** `engage_platform_set_list_subscription` | Subscribe, resubscribe, or unsubscribe an existing user on one Engage list | | **Update list** `engage_platform_update_list` | Update supplied settings on an existing Engage list without changing unspecified fields | | **Upsert user** `engage_platform_upsert_user` | Update profile or custom attributes for an application UID, creating the user if it does not | | **Archive list** `engage_platform_archive_list` | Archive a list so it disappears from list results and cannot receive new subscribers | | **Remove list subscriber** `engage_platform_remove_list_subscriber` | Completely remove one user's membership from one Engage list | | **Track user event** `engage_platform_track_user_event` | Append an immutable event to a user's Engage activity history | ## Example prompts **Get List** > Pull the relevant data from Engage Platform, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. **Get User** > Pull the relevant data from Engage Platform, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. **List Account Members** > List the relevant items in Engage Platform, group them by priority, and recommend what OpenClaw should do next. **List Lists** > List the relevant items in Engage Platform, 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 Engage Platform working from chat. | | Manual | ClawLink | |---|---|---| | **Credential handling** | Collect, validate, store, and rotate the Engage Platform API key yourself, then make sure every tool call uses the right account. | Users complete the hosted ClawLink setup once and the connected Engage Platform 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 Engage Platform. | 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 Engage Platform actions to the runtime in a format your agent can reliably use. | 18 tools for Engage Platform are already exposed through ClawLink, so the agent can read and act from chat immediately. | ## ClawLink vs. Composio Composio also exposes Engage Platform 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 Engage Platform in the browser, and the 18 tools above work from chat. There is no SDK and no config file, and the Engage Platform key you paste at setup is stored server-side rather than kept in your environment. Choosing between them?

Make sure Engage Platform 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 Engage Platform 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 Engage Platform tools Engage Platform 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 Engage Platform 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. ### Engage Platform 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 Engage Platform has the right scopes or account access. A valid key can still be too limited for some reads or writes. ### Is there a OpenClaw Engage Platform integration? Yes. ClawLink is the fastest way to connect OpenClaw to Engage Platform: link your Engage Platform account once in the browser and OpenClaw can call the Engage Platform API through 18 ready-made tools — no custom code or token handling. ### How do I add Engage Platform to OpenClaw with ClawLink? Paste the setup prompt from this page into OpenClaw. It installs the ClawLink Engage Platform skill from ClawHub, then you click Connect in the dashboard to authorize Engage Platform. OpenClaw calls the tools from the next message — no config files, and the Engage Platform key you paste is stored server-side instead of in your environment. ### How long does it take to connect Engage Platform to OpenClaw? About two minutes. Sign in, click Connect next to Engage Platform in the dashboard, authenticate, and OpenClaw can use it from the next chat message. ### Why use ClawLink instead of wiring Engage Platform 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 Engage Platform working from chat. ### OpenClaw installed the Engage Platform skill but can't call the tools The ClawHub skill teaches OpenClaw about Engage Platform, but the calls run through the ClawLink plugin and your connected account. Make sure Engage Platform is connected in the dashboard, then start a fresh chat so OpenClaw reloads the tool catalog.
