What This Skill Does

The attio-apikey skill is a high-performance, direct integration for the Attio CRM platform designed specifically for the OpenClaw agent ecosystem. By bypassing the need for complex OAuth flows or intermediary proxy servers, this skill allows users to authenticate directly via an API key, providing immediate and secure access to their CRM data. It supports comprehensive CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations, enabling users to manage Companies, People, and Notes programmatically. Whether you need to pull existing records, update lead statuses in real-time, or generate activity logs as notes, this skill acts as a direct pipe between your OpenClaw agent and the Attio API.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your OpenClaw environment, execute the command: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/felicitationes/attio-apikey. Once installed, navigate to the attio-direct folder. You will find a .env.example file which serves as a template for your configuration. Obtain your API key from the Attio Settings dashboard (app.attio.com/settings/api) and populate the .env file accordingly. Ensure your environment variables are correctly exported before attempting to run the CLI commands, as the client relies on this key for all network authentication.

Use Cases

This skill is perfect for sales automation, lead management, and CRM synchronization. Common use cases include:

1. Mass updates of lead stages for large datasets.
2. Automatic entry of sales meeting notes from transcripts directly into the CRM.
3. Pulling granular company data for custom lead-scoring pipelines.
4. Real-time monitoring of contact updates within the agent's workflow. By allowing full read and write access, users can build custom agents that act as autonomous sales assistants, updating CRM records based on email sentiment or calendar events.

Example Prompts

1. "Check the Attio CRM for any new companies in the 'Nurture' funnel stage and print their names."
2. "Add a note to the company record with ID 98765 titled 'Contract Sent' with the content 'The initial proposal was emailed to the primary contact today.'"
3. "Update the record for John Doe in Attio to change his job title to 'Senior Engineering Manager'."

Tips & Limitations

When using the attio-apikey skill, please note that it defaults to a pagination limit of 5000 records. While this is sufficient for most mid-sized CRMs, users with massive datasets should consider refining their API queries. Because this skill uses a direct API connection, it bypasses the standard browser UI constraints, making it much faster but also requiring careful management of API rate limits. Ensure that your API key is stored securely and never committed to public repositories. Always double-check IDs before running delete operations, as these actions are final and non-reversible via the API.
