# How to connect Simplesat to OpenClaw (paste one key, 8 tools) > Connect Simplesat to OpenClaw with ClawLink: paste your Simplesat key once and 8 tools work from chat. No MCP server to run, nothing stored on your machine. Web version: https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/simplesat The usual route to Simplesat 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 Simplesat setup: install one ClawHub skill, connect Simplesat in the browser, and OpenClaw can call real Simplesat 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 Simplesat. 1. **Install ClawLink** — add the plugin to OpenClaw once. 2. **Connect Simplesat** — 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 simplesat # connect Simplesat (browser OAuth) npx -y @useclawlink/cli actions simplesat # list available actions npx -y @useclawlink/cli run simplesat --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 Simplesat in the [ClawLink dashboard](https://claw-link.dev/dashboard) — paste your Simplesat API key once. Verify the connection by asking OpenClaw: > Pull the relevant data from Simplesat, 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 Simplesat is connected in the dashboard, that agent calls the same 8 Simplesat tools over MCP.

ClawLink connects Simplesat to OpenClaw and exposes 8 Simplesat 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 Simplesat integration](https://claw-link.dev/hermes/simplesat) works the same way. ## What the OpenClaw Simplesat integration can do 8 Simplesat tools are ready for OpenClaw once the account is connected. ### All 8 Simplesat tools for OpenClaw | Tool | What it does | |---|---| | **Get customer** `simplesat_get_customer` | Retrieve a single customer by their Simplesat ID | | **List questions** `simplesat_list_questions` | Retrieve a paginated list of all questions in Simplesat | | **List surveys** `simplesat_list_surveys` | List all surveys in the Simplesat account | | **Search answers** `simplesat_search_answers` | Search and retrieve answers from Simplesat with advanced filtering | | **Search responses** `simplesat_search_responses` | Search and retrieve responses from Simplesat by applying specific filters | | **Create or update customer2** `simplesat_create_or_update_customer2` | Create a new customer or update an existing customer if one already exists with the same email | | **Create or update team member** `simplesat_create_or_update_team_member` | Creates a new team member or updates an existing one if a team member with the same email | | **Update customer** `simplesat_update_customer` | Update an existing customer by their Simplesat ID | ## Example prompts **Get Customer** > Pull the relevant data from Simplesat, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. **List Questions** > List the relevant items in Simplesat, group them by priority, and recommend what OpenClaw should do next. **List Surveys** > List the relevant items in Simplesat, group them by priority, and recommend what OpenClaw should do next. **Search Answers** > Search Simplesat for what I need, summarize the results, and tell me the next best action. ## 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 Simplesat working from chat. | | Manual | ClawLink | |---|---|---| | **Credential handling** | Collect, validate, store, and rotate the Simplesat API key yourself, then make sure every tool call uses the right account. | Users complete the hosted ClawLink setup once and the connected Simplesat 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 Simplesat. | 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 Simplesat actions to the runtime in a format your agent can reliably use. | 8 tools for Simplesat are already exposed through ClawLink, so the agent can read and act from chat immediately. | ## ClawLink vs. Composio Composio also exposes Simplesat 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 Simplesat in the browser, and the 8 tools above work from chat. There is no SDK and no config file, and the Simplesat key you paste at setup is stored server-side rather than kept in your environment. Choosing between them? Read the full [Composio alternatives](https://claw-link.dev/hub/composio-alternatives) comparison. ### OpenClaw installed the Simplesat skill but can't call the tools The ClawHub skill teaches OpenClaw about Simplesat, but the calls run through the ClawLink plugin and your connected account. Make sure Simplesat 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 Simplesat 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 Simplesat tools Simplesat 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 Simplesat 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. ### Simplesat 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 Simplesat has the right scopes or account access. A valid key can still be too limited for some reads or writes. ### Is there a OpenClaw Simplesat integration? Yes. ClawLink is the fastest way to connect OpenClaw to Simplesat: link your Simplesat account once in the browser and OpenClaw can call the Simplesat API through 8 ready-made tools — no custom code or token handling. ### How do I add Simplesat to OpenClaw with ClawLink? Paste the setup prompt from this page into OpenClaw. It installs the ClawLink Simplesat skill from ClawHub, then you click Connect in the dashboard to authorize Simplesat. OpenClaw calls the tools from the next message — no config files, and the Simplesat key you paste is stored server-side instead of in your environment. ### How long does it take to connect Simplesat to OpenClaw? About two minutes. Sign in, click Connect next to Simplesat in the dashboard, authenticate, and OpenClaw can use it from the next chat message. ### Why use ClawLink instead of wiring Simplesat 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 Simplesat working from chat. ### OpenClaw installed the Simplesat skill but can't call the tools The ClawHub skill teaches OpenClaw about Simplesat, but the calls run through the ClawLink plugin and your connected account. Make sure Simplesat is connected in the dashboard, then start a fresh chat so OpenClaw reloads the tool catalog.
