How This Skill Works
When you install this skill, your OpenClaw agent can walk you through:
- Which workflow to tackle first — based on your biggest bottleneck
- What each workflow does — plain-English explanation of the logic and business value
- What you'll need — free tools, credentials, and setup time per workflow
- What success looks like — what changes in your business after each workflow is live
For the importable JSON files and screenshot-annotated PDF setup guides, you'll need the full pack from Gumroad.
Guided Methodology Flow
When you ask about any workflow, your agent will cover:
Understanding the Problem
Each workflow solves one specific agency bottleneck:
| Workflow | Problem It Solves | Setup Time (with pack) |
|---|---|---|
| WF01 — Cold Prospect Radar | Manual lead research eating hours | ~45 min |
| WF02 — Cold Email Sequencer | Outreach stops when you stop | ~60 min |
| WF03 — Inbound Lead Router | Leads falling through the cracks | ~20 min |
| WF04 — Client Reporting Bot | Manual report assembly every week | ~45 min |
| WF05 — Proposal Follow-Up Engine | Proposals going cold, deals lost silently | ~30 min |
If you're unsure where to start: WF03 (Inbound Lead Router) is the fastest win — 20 minutes from zero to automated. You'll see it working the same day.
Understanding the Architecture
Each workflow uses only free-tier tools:
- Google Sheets + Gmail OAuth — WF01, WF02, WF04 (one-time Google Cloud Console setup)
- Airtable (free tier) — WF02, WF03, WF05 (your CRM layer)
- Tally forms (free) — WF03 (webhook trigger for inbound leads)
- n8n — self-hosted on any $5/mo VPS, or n8n Cloud free tier (5 active workflows)
No paid APIs. No Hunter.io, Apollo, or GPT-4 API billing.
Understanding the Value
Why these 5 and not 50?
Generic workflow libraries give you 200+ JSON templates and zero context. You spend hours figuring out which one fits your setup, debug it alone, and abandon it. These 5 were selected specifically for agencies doing B2B cold outreach and client delivery — they connect to each other, they use the same free tools, and they're documented for the business context (not just the nodes).
The goal: import, wire credentials, test run, go live. One workflow per session, all 5 in a week.
Recommended Deployment Order
- WF03 — Inbound Lead Router (fastest win, 20 min)
- WF05 — Proposal Follow-Up Engine (stop leaking deals)
- WF01 — Cold Prospect Radar (proactive outreach)
- WF02 — Cold Email Sequencer (outreach at scale)
- WF04 — Client Reporting Bot (professional reporting)
Full deployment across all 5: 2–4 hours spread over a week, one workflow per session.
