# How to connect Gatherup to OpenClaw (paste one key, 9 tools) > Connect Gatherup to OpenClaw with ClawLink: paste your Gatherup key once and 9 tools work from chat. No MCP server to run, nothing stored on your machine. Web version: https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/gatherup The usual route to Gatherup 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 Gatherup setup: install one ClawHub skill, connect Gatherup in the browser, and OpenClaw can call real Gatherup 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 Gatherup. 1. **Install ClawLink** — add the plugin to OpenClaw once. 2. **Connect Gatherup** — 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 gatherup # connect Gatherup (browser OAuth) npx -y @useclawlink/cli actions gatherup # list available actions npx -y @useclawlink/cli run gatherup --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 Gatherup in the [ClawLink dashboard](https://claw-link.dev/dashboard) — paste your Gatherup API key once. Verify the connection by asking OpenClaw: > Use Gatherup to find agency client id 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 Gatherup is connected in the dashboard, that agent calls the same 9 Gatherup tools over MCP.

ClawLink connects Gatherup to OpenClaw and exposes 9 Gatherup 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 Gatherup integration](https://claw-link.dev/hermes/gatherup) works the same way. ## What the OpenClaw Gatherup integration can do 9 Gatherup tools are ready for OpenClaw once the account is connected. The 8 below are the ones people reach for most; your agent can call all 9. ### 8 of 9 Gatherup tools for OpenClaw | Tool | What it does | |---|---| | **Find agency client ID** `gatherup_find_agency_client_id` | Find the client ID for a specific business in GatherUp agency accounts | | **Get business** `gatherup_get_business` | Retrieve detailed information about a specific GatherUp business location | | **Get business types** `gatherup_get_business_types` | Retrieves the list of available business categories from GatherUp (e.g., Restaurant, Hotel | | **Get customer** `gatherup_get_customer` | Retrieves detailed information about a specific customer from GatherUp by their customer ID | | **Get widget HTML** `gatherup_get_widget_html` | Retrieve pre-formatted widget or badge HTML code with schema.org structure and SEO-friendly | | **Search business** `gatherup_search_business` | Search for a GatherUp business location by custom identifier and retrieve its business ID | | **Send customer feedback** `gatherup_send_customer_feedback` | Send a feedback request to a customer to collect their rating and review | | **Set user password** `gatherup_set_user_password` | Sets a new password for an existing user in GatherUp | ## Example prompts **Find Agency Client Id** > Use Gatherup to find agency client id and walk me through the result in plain English. **Get Business** > Pull the relevant data from Gatherup, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. **Get Business Types** > Pull the relevant data from Gatherup, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. **Get Customer** > Pull the relevant data from Gatherup, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. ## 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 Gatherup working from chat. | | Manual | ClawLink | |---|---|---| | **Credential handling** | Collect, validate, store, and rotate the Gatherup API key yourself, then make sure every tool call uses the right account. | Users complete the hosted ClawLink setup once and the connected Gatherup 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 Gatherup. | 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 Gatherup actions to the runtime in a format your agent can reliably use. | 9 tools for Gatherup are already exposed through ClawLink, so the agent can read and act from chat immediately. | ## ClawLink vs. Composio Composio also exposes Gatherup 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 Gatherup in the browser, and the 9 tools above work from chat. There is no SDK and no config file, and the Gatherup key you paste at setup is stored server-side rather than kept in your environment. Choosing between them?

Make sure Gatherup 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 Gatherup 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 Gatherup tools Gatherup 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 Gatherup 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. ### Gatherup 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 Gatherup has the right scopes or account access. A valid key can still be too limited for some reads or writes. ### Is there a OpenClaw Gatherup integration? Yes. ClawLink is the fastest way to connect OpenClaw to Gatherup: link your Gatherup account once in the browser and OpenClaw can call the Gatherup API through 9 ready-made tools — no custom code or token handling. ### How do I add Gatherup to OpenClaw with ClawLink? Paste the setup prompt from this page into OpenClaw. It installs the ClawLink Gatherup skill from ClawHub, then you click Connect in the dashboard to authorize Gatherup. OpenClaw calls the tools from the next message — no config files, and the Gatherup key you paste is stored server-side instead of in your environment. ### How long does it take to connect Gatherup to OpenClaw? About two minutes. Sign in, click Connect next to Gatherup in the dashboard, authenticate, and OpenClaw can use it from the next chat message. ### Why use ClawLink instead of wiring Gatherup 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 Gatherup working from chat. ### OpenClaw installed the Gatherup skill but can't call the tools The ClawHub skill teaches OpenClaw about Gatherup, but the calls run through the ClawLink plugin and your connected account. Make sure Gatherup 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 Zendesk integration](https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/zendesk) — Manage support tickets, macros, users, and organizations - [OpenClaw Gleap integration](https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/gleap) — Gleap is an all-in-one customer feedback tool for apps and websites, enabling direct communication with users to build better software by discovering their everyday pain points. - [Freshdesk](https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/freshdesk) — Handle support tickets, contacts, and helpdesk operations
