outlook-web
Access Outlook Web for email and calendar operations - reading, composing (as drafts by default), searching, and managing emails and calendar events. Use when the user needs to check email, draft messages, search inbox, view calendar, or manage their Outlook mailbox.
Why use this skill?
Automate your Outlook workflow with the OpenClaw outlook-web skill. Read, compose, and manage your emails and calendar events directly through your AI agent.
Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/organisciak/outlook-webWhat This Skill Does
The outlook-web skill for OpenClaw provides a robust interface for interacting with Microsoft Outlook directly through a managed browser session. By leveraging playwright-cli, this skill allows for automated navigation, reading, and composing of emails, as well as managing calendar schedules. It maintains a persistent authentication session via cookies, ensuring that after an initial one-time manual login, the agent can perform tasks seamlessly without recurring authentication hurdles.
Installation
To integrate this capability into your agent, use the OpenClaw hub CLI tool:
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/organisciak/outlook-web
Once installed, ensure your agent environment supports headless browser operations. For the first time you run the skill, you must use the --headed flag to manually sign into your Microsoft account. This ensures security protocols like MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication) can be completed by you, the user.
Use Cases
This skill is ideal for automating repetitive email-centric workflows. Use it to scan your inbox for urgent messages, summarize long email threads, draft follow-up communications, or cross-reference meeting times with your current calendar availability. It is particularly effective for personal assistants needing to organize scheduling or triage high-volume inboxes.
Example Prompts
- "Check my Outlook inbox for any new emails from my manager and provide a short summary of the last three messages."
- "Draft a new email in Outlook to [email protected] with the subject 'Weekly Status Update' and tell them the report will be ready by 5 PM."
- "Look at my Outlook calendar for today and tell me if I have any overlapping meetings in the afternoon."
Tips & Limitations
Persistence is managed via the --session=outlook-web flag. Always include this flag in your commands to utilize stored cookies. If you notice the agent cannot access your mail or keeps redirecting to a login page, the session has likely expired; run the open command in headed mode to re-authenticate. Note that Microsoft security settings may trigger prompts periodically, and the agent requires an active internet connection to interact with the live Outlook interface.
