pipedream-connect

What This Skill Does

The pipedream-connect skill is an enterprise-grade integration bridge that allows your OpenClaw agent to interact with over 2,000+ external APIs by abstracting the complexities of OAuth 2.0. Instead of manually handling token rotations, authentication handshakes, and API-specific SDKs, this skill utilizes Pipedream’s managed architecture. By bridging the Clawdbot Gateway with Pipedream, the agent gains persistent, authenticated access to essential services like Google Workspace (Gmail, Calendar), Slack, GitHub, and custom webhooks. It features a dedicated UI dashboard for credential management and a robust token-refresh mechanism to ensure continuous connectivity without manual intervention.

Installation

To install this skill, use the Clawhub CLI: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/maverick-software/pipedream-connect. Prerequisites include an active Pipedream account, the mcporter tool runner installed globally via npm, and Clawdbot Gateway version 2026.1.0 or higher. Post-installation, you must configure your Pipedream Client ID, Client Secret, and Project ID within the Clawdbot Dashboard under the Tools menu. Finally, execute the provided Python cron job script to ensure your authentication tokens remain active in the background.

Use Cases

This skill is ideal for automating cross-platform workflows. Examples include synchronizing project management tasks between Slack and GitHub, managing calendar scheduling via natural language, or performing intelligent email triage. It is perfect for developers building autonomous agents that need to act as an assistant across disparate SaaS ecosystems.

Example Prompts

1. "Check my Gmail for any unread messages from my manager today and summarize the contents for me."
2. "Look at my Google Calendar for this week and identify any conflicts between my team standups and client meetings."
3. "Send a message to the #engineering Slack channel notifying the team that the latest deployment to production is complete."

Tips & Limitations

Always ensure the Pipedream token refresh script is running; failure to do so will result in expired sessions and tool execution errors. The skill relies on the Pipedream project architecture, so ensure your Project ID is correctly linked to your workspace. Be mindful that while Pipedream handles the OAuth flow, you are still bound by the rate limits and API quotas of the target services you connect. Monitor the cron log periodically at ~/clawd/logs/pipedream-cron.log to ensure no token refresh errors are being logged.
