What This Skill Does

The Wave accounting skill allows your OpenClaw agent to seamlessly interact with your Wave Financial business data. It bridges the gap between your AI assistant and your small business accounting workflows, enabling the retrieval and management of vital financial records without manual entry. The skill provides full visibility into your business hierarchy, allowing you to list businesses, manage invoices (creation, sending, and deletion), maintain customer databases, and review financial transactions. By leveraging this tool, you can automate routine bookkeeping tasks, track customer payment history, and maintain an organized chart of accounts directly through your terminal or agent interface.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your environment, use the OpenClaw repository manager. Run the following command in your terminal:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/aiwithabidi/wave

After installation, you must configure your environment by providing the necessary API credentials. Ensure your WAVE_API_TOKEN is correctly set in your environment variables to grant the agent authenticated access to your specific Wave accounts. Refer to the Wave Developer portal to generate your API token.

Use Cases

This skill is perfect for small business owners, freelancers, and accounting teams looking to reduce administrative overhead. Common use cases include:

• Rapid Invoicing: Instantly generating and sending invoices to repeat customers.
• Financial Oversight: Querying transaction histories to quickly check revenue or expense trends.
• CRM Management: Managing customer contact details directly via the agent for faster billing cycles.
• Data Reconciliation: Using the CLI outputs to audit account balances against other internal documents.

Example Prompts

1. "OpenClaw, list all invoices for my main business ID and identify any that are currently outstanding."
2. "Please create a new invoice for customer ID 98765 for a total amount of $250.00."
3. "Show me the transaction history for my consulting business from the last week so I can summarize our earnings."

Tips & Limitations

• Data Security: Always store your WAVE_API_TOKEN securely; do not commit it to version control systems or share it in plain text.
• Business Context: Always verify the <business-id> before performing destructive operations like deleting invoices.
• Rate Limits: Be mindful of Wave's API rate limits when scripting bulk operations to avoid service interruptions.
• Formatting: Ensure your local Python environment is correctly configured to handle JSON outputs from the Wave API, as the CLI uses standard script execution.
