Prerequisites
- OpenClaw deployed
- Basic automation experience
Steps
1
Understand Workflow Concept
Workflow chains multiple steps together for automatic execution.
Commands
All Systems
For example: "Monitor emails → extract key info → write to a spreadsheet → send a notification" Tips
- • Workflows can span multiple tools and services
- • Suitable for repetitive complex tasks
2
Design Workflow
Plan your workflow steps.
Commands
All Systems
1. Define the trigger condition (scheduled/event)
2. List the execution steps
3. Determine which skills each step needs
4. Design the output format Tips
- • Draw a flowchart first before implementation
- • Start with simple workflows
3
Create Workflow
Create workflow in OpenClaw.
Commands
All Systems
Automation → Workflows → New → add nodes → connect nodes → configure each node Tips
- • Each node is an execution step
- • Conditional branches can implement complex logic
4
Test and Optimize
Verify if workflow works as expected.
Commands
All Systems
Workflow details → click "Test" → check each step's output → adjust the configuration Tips
- • Check if output of each step meets expectations
- • You can add error handling nodes
Common Issues
Workflow stuck and won't continue?
Check if any node failed, check logs to locate issue
Output result incorrect?
Check input/output configuration of each node, ensure data passes correctly
