Connect Timely to OpenClaw on Operator.io
Timely is an automatic time-tracking platform that seamlessly records work across apps, calendars, and devices. It helps you create detailed timesheets and gain productivity insights without manual input.
Automate Timely with AI
Your OpenClaw agent lives on Operator and treats Timely as one more service it can drive. Send it an outcome in a Telegram or Discord message and it works out which of the 41 Timely actions to run, then runs them.
Your agent reaches Timely directly or through connectors like Composio MCP and Pipedream MCP, which handle the sign in and token refresh for you, so there is nothing to wire up and no API keys to paste.
What your agent can do with Timely
Your agent can call any of these Timely actions by name as part of a larger task. Ask for the outcome you want and it picks the right ones.

How to connect Timely
You authorize Timely once from your dashboard. Operator holds the connection and refreshes the access tokens on its own, so your agent keeps working with Timely without you signing in again. The same setup unlocks every other app your agent can reach, so you only do it once.
When you are ready, the get started guide walks through standing up your OpenClaw agent.
Common questions about Timely
- How do I connect Timely to Operator?
- Connecting Timely is a one time sign in from your Operator dashboard. Operator keeps the connection live and rotates the token on its own, so the agent stays connected to Timely and you never reauthorize by hand.
- Can my agent manage tasks and projects in Timely?
- Yes. It can create and update items, move them between stages, add notes, and read the current state back to you. Use it to file new work as it arrives, check status without opening the app, or keep Timely aligned with what is happening elsewhere.
- Do I need to write code or manage Timely API keys?
- No. Operator manages the Timely connection and token refresh, so there are no API keys to paste and nothing to deploy.
- Can my agent use Timely together with my other apps?
- Yes. The same agent reaches every app you connect, so it can move between Timely and tools like Google Sheets, Notion, Linear in one job, reading from one and acting in another without you wiring anything between them.
