Google Forms via ClawLink
Work with Google Forms from chat — create forms, inspect structure, review responses, change publishing settings, and manage response watches.
Powered by ClawLink, an integration hub for OpenClaw that handles hosted connection flows and credentials so you don't need to configure Google Forms API access yourself.
Quick start
- Install the verified ClawLink plugin:
openclaw plugins install clawhub:clawlink-plugin - Start a fresh OpenClaw chat if the plugin was just installed and ClawLink tools are not visible yet
- If ClawLink is not configured, call
clawlink_begin_pairing - Tell the user to open the returned pairing URL, sign in to ClawLink if needed, and approve the device
- After the user confirms approval, call
clawlink_get_pairing_status - Tell the user to connect Google Forms at claw-link.dev/dashboard?add=google-forms
- When the user confirms Google Forms is connected, call
clawlink_list_integrationsand thenclawlink_list_toolswith thegoogle-formsintegration slug
Setup details
Installing the plugin
If the ClawLink plugin is not installed yet, tell the user to run:
openclaw plugins install clawhub:clawlink-plugin
If the current chat started before the plugin was installed and ClawLink tools are still unavailable, tell the user to start a fresh chat so OpenClaw reloads the plugin tool catalog.
Pairing ClawLink
If ClawLink reports that the plugin is not configured, the plugin has not been paired with the user's ClawLink account yet.
- Call
clawlink_begin_pairing. - Tell the user to open the returned pairing URL in their browser.
- The user signs in to ClawLink if needed and approves the OpenClaw device.
- After the user confirms approval, call
clawlink_get_pairing_statusto finish local setup.
The resulting device credential is stored locally in OpenClaw's plugin config and is only sent to claw-link.dev. The user should not paste raw credentials into chat.
Connecting Google Forms
Tell the user to open https://claw-link.dev/dashboard?add=google-forms and connect Google Forms there. The page opens the add-connection panel filtered to Google Forms. ClawLink's hosted page runs the Google account connection flow — the user clicks through Google sign-in and consent. When they confirm it is done, call clawlink_list_integrations to verify, then call clawlink_list_tools with integration google-forms.
Using Google Forms tools
ClawLink provides tools dynamically based on what the user has connected. You do not need to know tool names or schemas in advance.
Discovery
- Call
clawlink_list_integrationsto confirm Google Forms is connected. - Call
clawlink_list_toolswith integrationgoogle-forms. - Treat the returned list as the source of truth. Do not guess or assume what tools exist.
- If the user describes a capability but the exact tool is unclear, call
clawlink_search_toolswith a short query and integrationgoogle-forms. - If no Google Forms tools appear, direct the user to https://claw-link.dev/dashboard?add=google-forms.
Execution
- Call
clawlink_describe_toolbefore using an unfamiliar tool, before any write, or when the request is ambiguous. - Use the returned schema,
whenToUse,askBefore,safeDefaults,examples, andfollowups. - Prefer reading form structure and responses before writes.
- For form creation, question updates, publish-setting changes, watch creation or deletion, or anything marked as requiring confirmation, call
clawlink_preview_toolfirst, then confirm with the user. - Execute with
clawlink_call_tool. - If it fails, report the real error. Do not invent results or restate the failure as a missing capability unless the live catalog supports that conclusion.
What you can do
Typical Google Forms tasks (actual availability depends on the user's connected account, permissions, scopes, and current ClawLink tool catalog):
- Create a new form after confirmation
- Inspect a form's metadata, settings, and question structure
- Apply batch updates to questions or form layout after confirmation
- List submitted responses or inspect one response in detail
- Change form publishing settings after confirmation
- Create, list, or delete watches for response notifications after confirmation
Rules
- Always use ClawLink tools for Google Forms. Do not ask the user for separate Google credentials.
- Do not claim a capability is missing without checking the live ClawLink catalog in the current turn.
- Do not invent slash commands or ask the user to paste raw credentials.
- Ask for confirmation before creating forms, editing questions, changing publishing settings, or managing watches.
- If Google Forms is not connected, direct the user to https://claw-link.dev/dashboard?add=google-forms.
- Never echo or repeat the user's ClawLink credential.
