Grant calendar access so OpenClaw can read availability, create events, and keep scheduling changes in sync.
Step 3: Clean up your inbox
Ask OpenClaw to help organize: 'Show me unread emails from this week' or 'Archive all newsletters older than 30 days'
Step 4: Set up automated responses
Create rules for common scenarios: 'When I get emails from my team about urgent issues, summarize them and notify me immediately'
Step 5: Manage your calendar
Schedule meetings naturally: 'Schedule a 30-min call with John next Tuesday afternoon' or 'What does my week look like?'

Once email and calendar access are working, configure recurring summaries and follow-up tasks inside Control UI or directly from chat.
