Connecting Google Calendar

Connect your Google Calendar using a simple, secure authorization flow designed for applications without a direct browser interface.

Part 1: Set up Your Project in Google Cloud Console

You need to get credentials from Google. The type of credential is critical for this kind of connection.

Create a Google Cloud Project: Go to the Google Cloud Console and create a New Project.
Enable the Google Calendar API: In your project, navigate to APIs & Services → Library, search for, and Enable the "Google Calendar API".
Configure OAuth Consent Screen: Go to APIs & Services → OAuth consent screen. Choose External, then fill in the required app information (App name, support emails).
Create Desktop App Credentials: This is the most important step. Go to APIs & Services → Credentials. Click + Create Credentials and select OAuth client ID. For the Application type, you must select Desktop app. After creation, Google will provide your Client ID and Client Secret. Copy both.

Instruct Your Agent: Give your Nimrobo agent this command:
"Please install and configure the OpenClaw skill for Google Calendar."
Provide Your Credentials: The agent will install the skill and ask for the Client ID and Client Secret you copied from the Google Cloud Console.

This is where you approve the connection using your phone or another device with a browser.

Get a URL and Code from Your Agent: The agent will provide a verification URL and a unique code. It will look like this:
"To continue, please open a browser on any device and go to: `https://www.google.com/device` and then enter the code: `ABCD-EFGH`"
Authorize on a Different Device: Open the URL on your phone or laptop, sign in to your Google account, and enter the code. You will be asked to grant permission. Click Allow.
Agent Confirms: Your remote agent will detect the approval and confirm that the connection is complete.

To confirm it's working, ask your agent a question about your schedule:

"What's on my calendar for tomorrow?"
