# How to connect Persistiq to OpenClaw (paste one key, 14 tools) > Connect Persistiq to OpenClaw with ClawLink: paste your Persistiq key once and 14 tools work from chat. No MCP server to run, nothing stored on your machine. Web version: https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/persistiq The usual route to Persistiq 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 Persistiq setup: install one ClawHub skill, connect Persistiq in the browser, and OpenClaw can call real Persistiq 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 Persistiq. 1. **Install ClawLink** — add the plugin to OpenClaw once. 2. **Connect Persistiq** — 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 persistiq # connect Persistiq (browser OAuth) npx -y @useclawlink/cli actions persistiq # list available actions npx -y @useclawlink/cli run persistiq --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 Persistiq in the [ClawLink dashboard](https://claw-link.dev/dashboard) — paste your Persistiq API key once. Verify the connection by asking OpenClaw: > List the relevant items in Persistiq, group them by priority, and recommend what OpenClaw should do next. ### 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 Persistiq is connected in the dashboard, that agent calls the same 14 Persistiq tools over MCP. Full setup for MCP clients and shell agents: [connect apps to any AI agent](https://claw-link.dev/learn/connect-apps-to-any-ai-agent). ## Persistiq MCP for OpenClaw Looking for a Persistiq MCP server for OpenClaw? ClawLink connects Persistiq to OpenClaw and exposes 14 Persistiq 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 Persistiq integration](https://claw-link.dev/hermes/persistiq) works the same way. ## What the OpenClaw Persistiq integration can do 14 Persistiq tools are ready for OpenClaw once the account is connected. ### All 14 Persistiq tools for OpenClaw | Tool | What it does | |---|---| | **List campaigns** `persistiq_list_campaigns` | List campaigns | | **List dnc domains** `persistiq_list_dnc_domains` | List Do Not Contact domains | | **List events** `persistiq_list_events` | Retrieve a list of PersistIQ events | | **List lead fields** `persistiq_list_lead_fields` | List all lead fields for your company | | **List lead statuses** `persistiq_list_lead_statuses` | Retrieve all lead statuses for your company | | **List leads** `persistiq_list_leads` | List leads from PersistIQ | | **List users** `persistiq_list_users` | List all non-archived users in your company | | **View lead** `persistiq_view_lead` | Retrieve a lead by its ID | | **Add lead to campaign** `persistiq_add_lead_to_campaign` | Add a lead to a specified campaign | | **Create campaign** `persistiq_create_campaign` | Create a new campaign in PersistIQ | | **Create dnc domain** `persistiq_create_dnc_domain` | Create a Do Not Contact domain | | **Create leads** `persistiq_create_leads` | Bulk create up to 10 leads | | **Update lead** `persistiq_update_lead` | Update a lead's information | | **Remove lead from campaign** `persistiq_remove_lead_from_campaign` | Remove a lead from a specified campaign | ## Example prompts **List Campaigns** > List the relevant items in Persistiq, group them by priority, and recommend what OpenClaw should do next. **List Dnc Domains** > List the relevant items in Persistiq, group them by priority, and recommend what OpenClaw should do next. **List Events** > List the relevant items in Persistiq, group them by priority, and recommend what OpenClaw should do next. **List Lead Fields** > List the relevant items in Persistiq, 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 Persistiq working from chat. | | Manual | ClawLink | |---|---|---| | **Credential handling** | Collect, validate, store, and rotate the Persistiq API key yourself, then make sure every tool call uses the right account. | Users complete the hosted ClawLink setup once and the connected Persistiq 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 Persistiq. | 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 Persistiq actions to the runtime in a format your agent can reliably use. | 14 tools for Persistiq are already exposed through ClawLink, so the agent can read and act from chat immediately. | ## ClawLink vs. Composio Composio also exposes Persistiq 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 Persistiq in the browser, and the 14 tools above work from chat. There is no SDK and no config file, and the Persistiq key you paste at setup is stored server-side rather than kept in your environment. Choosing between them?

Make sure Persistiq 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 Persistiq 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 Persistiq tools Persistiq 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 Persistiq 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. ### Persistiq 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 Persistiq has the right scopes or account access. A valid key can still be too limited for some reads or writes. ### Is there a OpenClaw Persistiq integration? Yes. ClawLink is the fastest way to connect OpenClaw to Persistiq: link your Persistiq account once in the browser and OpenClaw can call the Persistiq API through 14 ready-made tools — no custom code or token handling. ### How do I add Persistiq to OpenClaw with ClawLink? Paste the setup prompt from this page into OpenClaw. It installs the ClawLink Persistiq skill from ClawHub, then you click Connect in the dashboard to authorize Persistiq. OpenClaw calls the tools from the next message — no config files, and the Persistiq key you paste is stored server-side instead of in your environment. ### How long does it take to connect Persistiq to OpenClaw? About two minutes. Sign in, click Connect next to Persistiq in the dashboard, authenticate, and OpenClaw can use it from the next chat message. ### Why use ClawLink instead of wiring Persistiq 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 Persistiq working from chat. ### OpenClaw installed the Persistiq skill but can't call the tools The ClawHub skill teaches OpenClaw about Persistiq, but the calls run through the ClawLink plugin and your connected account.
