Automating Meeting Scheduling in an OpenClaw Sales Assistant

Automating meeting scheduling in an OpenClaw sales assistant is done by extending the existing lead‑scoring agent, adding a dedicated scheduler agent that talks to calendar APIs (Google Calendar, Outlook), and updating the orchestrator to trigger the scheduler once a lead is qualified.

1. Introduction

Sales teams lose valuable time when they have to manually coordinate meetings with hot leads. By automating this step, you not only accelerate the sales cycle but also improve the prospect experience. OpenClaw already provides a multi‑agent sales assistant that scores leads and syncs with your CRM. The next logical layer is a meeting‑scheduling agent that books calendar slots automatically.

The OpenClaw architecture follows a modular, event‑driven pattern:

  • Lead Scoring Agent – evaluates lead quality using AI models.
  • CRM Integration Agent – pushes qualified leads into your CRM.
  • Orchestrator – routes events between agents.

We will extend this flow with a Meeting Scheduler Agent that listens for the “lead‑qualified” event, checks calendar availability, creates a meeting invite, and notifies the prospect via email or chat.

For a quick overview of the UBOS platform that powers OpenClaw, visit the UBOS platform overview.

2. Prerequisites

Before diving into code, make sure you have the following ready:

Required tools and libraries

  • Node.js ≥ 18 (or Python 3.10+ if you prefer Python).
  • UBOS CLI – UBOS homepage for local testing.
  • Google Calendar API client (@googleapis/calendar) or Microsoft Graph SDK for Outlook.
  • dotenv for environment variable management.
  • Axios (or fetch) for HTTP calls to the CRM.

Access to OpenClaw instance and CRM API keys

You need admin access to your OpenClaw deployment and the following secrets stored in UBOS secrets vault:

  • GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID & GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET
  • OUTLOOK_TENANT_ID, OUTLOOK_CLIENT_ID, OUTLOOK_CLIENT_SECRET
  • CRM_API_KEY (e.g., HubSpot, Salesforce)

All secrets can be added via the Workflow automation studio UI.

3. Extending the Lead Scoring Agent

The existing lead‑scoring agent emits an event lead_scored with a score field. We will add a simple threshold check and emit a new event lead_qualified when the score exceeds 80.


// leadScoringAgent.js
module.exports = async function handleLeadScored(event, context) {
  const { leadId, score } = event.payload;

  // Existing logic … (AI model inference)

  if (score >= 80) {
    // Emit qualified event for downstream agents
    await context.emit('lead_qualified', { leadId, score });
    console.log(`Lead ${leadId} qualified (score: ${score})`);
  } else {
    console.log(`Lead ${leadId} not qualified (score: ${score})`);
  }
};

Deploy the updated agent with the UBOS CLI:

ubos deploy agent leadScoringAgent.js --name lead-scoring

Now the orchestrator can listen for lead_qualified and forward it to the scheduler.

4. Building the Meeting Scheduler Agent

Integrating with calendar APIs

We’ll support both Google Calendar and Outlook. The agent decides which provider to use based on a preferredCalendar field stored in the lead record.

Authentication

Use OAuth2 service accounts for Google and client‑credential flow for Outlook. UBOS secrets vault supplies the credentials.


// calendarAuth.js
const { google } = require('googleapis');
const { Client } = require('@microsoft/microsoft-graph-client');
require('dotenv').config();

async function getGoogleAuth() {
  const auth = new google.auth.GoogleAuth({
    credentials: {
      client_email: process.env.GOOGLE_CLIENT_EMAIL,
      private_key: process.env.GOOGLE_PRIVATE_KEY.replace(/\\n/g, '\n')
    },
    scopes: ['https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar']
  });
  return await auth.getClient();
}

function getOutlookClient() {
  const client = Client.init({
    authProvider: async (done) => {
      // Acquire token via client credentials
      const tokenResponse = await fetch('https://login.microsoftonline.com/' + process.env.OUTLOOK_TENANT_ID + '/oauth2/v2.0/token', {
        method: 'POST',
        headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded' },
        body: new URLSearchParams({
          client_id: process.env.OUTLOOK_CLIENT_ID,
          client_secret: process.env.OUTLOOK_CLIENT_SECRET,
          scope: 'https://graph.microsoft.com/.default',
          grant_type: 'client_credentials'
        })
      });
      const token = (await tokenResponse.json()).access_token;
      done(null, token);
    }
  });
  return client;
}

module.exports = { getGoogleAuth, getOutlookClient };

Availability lookup

The agent queries the calendar for free slots within the next 5 business days, preferring 30‑minute windows.


// availability.js
async function getGoogleFreeSlots(auth) {
  const calendar = google.calendar({ version: 'v3', auth });
  const now = new Date();
  const max = new Date();
  max.setDate(now.getDate() + 5);

  const res = await calendar.freebusy.query({
    requestBody: {
      timeMin: now.toISOString(),
      timeMax: max.toISOString(),
      timeZone: 'UTC',
      items: [{ id: 'primary' }]
    }
  });

  const busy = res.data.calendars.primary.busy;
  // Simple algorithm: return first 30‑min slot not in busy list
  // (In production, use a robust slot‑generation library)
  let slotStart = new Date(now);
  while (slotStart  new Date(b.start)  slotStart);
    if (!overlapping) return { start: slotStart, end: slotEnd };
    slotStart = new Date(slotStart.getTime() + 15 * 60000); // step 15 min
  }
  throw new Error('No free slot found');
}

async function getOutlookFreeSlots(client) {
  const now = new Date().toISOString();
  const max = new Date(Date.now() + 5 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000).toISOString();

  const events = await client.api('/me/calendarview')
    .header('Prefer', 'outlook.timezone="UTC"')
    .query({ startDateTime: now, endDateTime: max })
    .get();

  // Similar slot‑generation logic as Google
  // Omitted for brevity – replace with your own implementation
  // Return { start: Date, end: Date }
}

Meeting creation

Once a free slot is identified, the agent creates an event and sends an invitation to the prospect’s email.


// schedulerAgent.js
const { getGoogleAuth, getOutlookClient } = require('./calendarAuth');
const { getGoogleFreeSlots, getOutlookFreeSlots } = require('./availability');
const axios = require('axios');

module.exports = async function scheduleMeeting(event, context) {
  const { leadId } = event.payload;

  // 1️⃣ Fetch lead details from CRM
  const leadRes = await axios.get(`https://api.yourcrm.com/leads/${leadId}`, {
    headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.CRM_API_KEY}` }
  });
  const lead = leadRes.data;
  const { email, name, preferredCalendar } = lead;

  // 2️⃣ Authenticate & find free slot
  let slot;
  if (preferredCalendar === 'google') {
    const auth = await getGoogleAuth();
    slot = await getGoogleFreeSlots(auth);
  } else {
    const client = getOutlookClient();
    slot = await getOutlookFreeSlots(client);
  }

  // 3️⃣ Create meeting
  const meeting = {
    summary: `Demo Call with ${name}`,
    description: `Automated meeting scheduled by OpenClaw sales assistant.`,
    start: { dateTime: slot.start.toISOString(), timeZone: 'UTC' },
    end: { dateTime: slot.end.toISOString(), timeZone: 'UTC' },
    attendees: [{ email, displayName: name }]
  };

  if (preferredCalendar === 'google') {
    const auth = await getGoogleAuth();
    const calendar = google.calendar({ version: 'v3', auth });
    await calendar.events.insert({ calendarId: 'primary', requestBody: meeting });
  } else {
    const client = getOutlookClient();
    await client.api('/me/events').post(meeting);
  }

  // 4️⃣ Notify prospect (simple email via SendGrid or similar)
  await axios.post('https://api.sendgrid.com/v3/mail/send', {
    personalizations: [{ to: [{ email }] }],
    from: { email: 'sales@yourcompany.com' },
    subject: 'Your Demo Call is Scheduled',
    content: [{ type: 'text/plain', value: `Hi ${name},\n\nYour demo is set for ${slot.start.toUTCString()}.\n\nBest,\nSales Team` }]
  }, { headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.SENDGRID_API_KEY}` } });

  console.log(`Meeting scheduled for lead ${leadId} at ${slot.start}`);
};

Deploy the scheduler agent:

ubos deploy agent schedulerAgent.js --name meeting-scheduler

5. Orchestrating the Multi‑Agent Flow

The orchestrator is a lightweight Node.js service that subscribes to events and forwards them to the appropriate agents. Add a new rule that triggers the meeting-scheduler when lead_qualified fires.


// orchestrator.js
const { EventBus } = require('@ubos/event-bus');

const bus = new EventBus();

bus.on('lead_qualified', async (payload) => {
  console.log('Orchestrator: lead qualified, invoking scheduler...');
  await bus.emit('schedule_meeting', payload); // internal event
});

bus.on('schedule_meeting', async (payload) => {
  // Forward to the scheduler agent
  await bus.invokeAgent('meeting-scheduler', payload);
});

module.exports = bus;

After updating the orchestrator, redeploy it:

ubos deploy service orchestrator.js --name orchestrator

Now the end‑to‑end flow is:

  1. Lead data enters OpenClaw → Lead Scoring Agent evaluates.
  2. If score ≥ 80, lead_qualified event is emitted.
  3. Orchestrator catches the event and calls the Meeting Scheduler Agent.
  4. Scheduler checks calendar, creates a meeting, and notifies the prospect.

6. Best‑Practice Tips

Error handling and retries

  • Wrap external API calls in try/catch blocks and log errors to UBOS observability.
  • Use exponential back‑off for transient failures (e.g., 1 s → 2 s → 4 s).
  • Implement a dead‑letter queue for leads that repeatedly fail scheduling.

Security considerations for API keys

  • Never hard‑code secrets; store them in the UBOS secrets vault.
  • Grant the least privilege – calendar scopes limited to read/write.events.
  • Rotate keys quarterly and audit access logs via the About UBOS security page.

Testing strategies

  • Unit test each function with Jest or Mocha – mock calendar APIs using nock.
  • Integration tests: spin up a sandbox OpenClaw instance and run a full lead‑to‑meeting flow.
  • Use UBOS’s partner program sandbox to validate against real CRM data without affecting production.

7. Deploying the Updated Assistant on UBOS

All agents and the orchestrator are now ready for production. Follow these steps to push the changes to your OpenClaw instance hosted on UBOS:

  1. Commit your code to a Git repository linked with UBOS.
  2. Run ubos build to generate the Docker images.
  3. Deploy with ubos deploy stack openclaw-sales-assistant.
  4. Verify the deployment via the UBOS dashboard – you should see the three services (lead‑scoring, meeting‑scheduler, orchestrator) running.

For a step‑by‑step guide on hosting OpenClaw on UBOS, see the dedicated page OpenClaw deployment guide.

After deployment, monitor the UBOS pricing plans to ensure you have enough compute resources for the added calendar calls.

8. Conclusion

Automating meeting scheduling transforms a reactive sales assistant into a proactive revenue engine. By extending the lead‑scoring agent, building a calendar‑aware scheduler, and wiring everything through the orchestrator, you achieve a fully hands‑free pipeline from lead capture to booked demo.
