Can the agent manage other people's calendars?

Does the agent handle time zones?

Yes, the agent is timezone-aware. It uses the timezone set in your Google Calendar settings and can convert between timezones when scheduling with attendees in different locations.

Can I undo an event the agent created?

Yes, you can ask the agent to delete or modify any event it created. You can also edit the event directly in Google Calendar as usual.

What You Will Get

After this setup, your OpenClaw agent will be fully integrated with Google Calendar. You can create events, check your schedule, find available time slots, and set reminders simply by messaging your agent through any connected channel.

Managing a calendar through natural conversation eliminates the need to switch apps or navigate calendar interfaces manually. Tell your agent to schedule a meeting next Tuesday at 2pm and it happens instantly. Ask if you are free tomorrow morning and get an immediate answer.

The integration supports all Google Calendar features including recurring events, multi-calendar management, attendee invitations, location settings, and reminders. Your agent becomes your personal scheduling assistant that works around the clock.

Step-by-Step Setup

Connect Google Calendar to your OpenClaw agent for full schedule management.

Connect Google Calendar

In your RunTheAgent dashboard, go to Channels and select Google Calendar under Google Workspace. Click Connect and complete the OAuth flow by signing into your Google account. Grant calendar read and write permissions when prompted. The connection is confirmed when your calendar name appears in the dashboard.

Select Calendars to Manage

Choose which calendars the agent should have access to. You can connect your primary calendar, shared team calendars, or specific project calendars. Deselect any personal calendars you do not want the agent to access. Each selected calendar can have different permission levels, such as read-only or full access.

Configure Event Creation Defaults

Set default values for new events including default duration (30 minutes or 60 minutes), default reminder times, and default visibility (public or private). These defaults apply when the agent creates events and specific values are not provided. You can always override defaults on a per-event basis.

Set Up Availability Checking

Configure how the agent determines your availability. Set your working hours so the agent knows when you are generally available. Define buffer times between meetings, such as 15 minutes, to prevent back-to-back scheduling. The agent uses this information when suggesting time slots or responding to availability queries.

Enable Attendee Management

Allow the agent to add attendees to events and send calendar invitations. Configure a default guest list for recurring meeting types. The agent can also check attendees' availability (if shared) before suggesting meeting times, helping you find slots that work for everyone.

Configure Reminders and Notifications

Set up how the agent handles reminders. You can configure it to send you a message on your preferred channel 15 minutes before each event, or send a morning briefing of the day's schedule. Define notification channels for calendar alerts so they arrive on the platform you check most frequently.

Test Calendar Operations

Message your agent through any channel and ask it to create an event, check your schedule for tomorrow, and find a free slot next week. Verify the event appears in Google Calendar with the correct details. Test editing an event and deleting one. Confirm that reminders arrive on the expected channel at the right time.

Tips and Best Practices

Use Natural Language

Your agent understands natural time expressions like next Tuesday, tomorrow afternoon, or in two hours. You do not need to specify exact dates and times in a rigid format.

Set Up Recurring Events

For regular meetings, tell the agent to create a recurring event. It supports daily, weekly, monthly, and custom recurrence patterns. This saves you from creating the same event repeatedly.

Separate Personal and Work Calendars

If you use multiple calendars, configure the agent to default to your work calendar for professional events and your personal calendar for everything else. This keeps your schedules organized.
