Platform Integration

Free accounting software.
Zero free time to use it.

Wave gives you invoicing, expense tracking, and financial reports for free. But the invoices don't send themselves. The overdue ones don't chase clients. And the receipts pile up. OpenClaw handles all of it.

OpenClaw connects to Wave's GraphQL API. Invoices, customers, payments, transactions. All of it.

The tool is free. Your time isn't.

Wave is powerful accounting software. But it still needs someone to operate it every day.

Invoices sit in draft until you remember

You finished the project two weeks ago. The invoice is still sitting in Wave as a draft because you haven't had 10 minutes to review it, customize the line items, and hit send. Meanwhile, you're essentially giving a free loan to your client. Every day you delay is a day you don't get paid.

Overdue invoices need awkward follow-ups

Wave shows you the invoice is 14 days past due. You know you need to send a reminder. But writing that email feels uncomfortable, so you put it off. Then it's 30 days. Then 45. The longer you wait, the harder it gets to collect. A polite nudge on day 3 would have solved this.

Receipts pile up in your camera roll

Wave has receipt scanning. You know this. You downloaded the app. But those 47 photos of receipts from the last two months are still on your phone because you haven't gotten around to uploading them. Tax season is going to be fun.

Bank transactions need categorizing every week

Wave imports your bank transactions automatically. That part works great. But each one needs to be reviewed and categorized. Is that $47.99 charge office supplies or software? You'll figure it out later. "Later" turns into 200 uncategorized transactions and a frustrated accountant.

OpenClaw + Wave Integration

OpenClaw connects to Wave through its GraphQL API and webhooks. It reads your financial data, makes decisions, and takes action. Here's what that looks like.

Invoices created and sent automatically

OpenClaw creates invoices in Wave based on triggers you define. Project completed? Retainer due on the 1st? Recurring monthly service? OpenClaw builds the invoice with the right line items, applies tax rates, and sends it to the client. No drafts sitting around waiting for you.

Overdue invoice follow-ups on schedule

When an invoice passes its due date, OpenClaw sends a polite reminder to the client. If they don't pay within a few days, it follows up again with slightly firmer language. You set the cadence and tone. OpenClaw handles the uncomfortable part so you don't have to.

Payment confirmations and thank-yous

Wave's webhooks notify OpenClaw the moment a payment comes through. OpenClaw updates your records, sends a thank-you message to the client, and can notify you on Telegram or email. You know who paid without checking Wave every hour.

Transaction categorization that learns

OpenClaw reviews imported bank transactions and categorizes them based on patterns it learns from your history. That $47.99 charge to Adobe? Software. The $12.50 at Staples? Office supplies. It handles the routine ones and flags anything unusual for your review.

Customer records stay current

New client? OpenClaw creates the customer record in Wave with their name, email, billing address, and payment terms. It pulls this from your email conversations, intake forms, or CRM. No duplicate entries. No missing details when it's time to invoice.

Weekly financial summaries delivered to you

Every Monday morning (or whenever you prefer), OpenClaw pulls your profit and loss data, outstanding invoices, and cash position from Wave and sends you a plain-English summary. Revenue this week, what's overdue, and what's coming up. No logging into Wave to check.

What is OpenClaw?

OpenClaw is an open-source AI assistant that connects to the tools you already use and operates them for you. Email, calendar, CRM, messaging. It reads, it responds, it takes action. It runs on your own devices, so your data stays yours.

It's not a chatbot you paste into a website. It's an operator that works behind the scenes, handling the tasks you keep putting off because there aren't enough hours in the day.

What this looks like in practice

Three real scenarios where OpenClaw and Wave work together.

Freelance Designer

The invoice that sends itself

You finish a logo project on Thursday. OpenClaw sees the project marked complete in your task manager, creates an invoice in Wave with the agreed-upon line items, and sends it to the client by Friday morning. The client pays via credit card through Wave's payment link. OpenClaw sends you a notification: "$2,400 received from Acme Co." You never opened Wave.

Small Accounting Firm

Client books stay clean between meetings

You manage books for 15 small business clients, all on Wave. OpenClaw monitors each account daily, categorizes new transactions, flags anything that looks unusual, and sends you a summary every Monday. When a client's quarterly taxes are approaching, OpenClaw pulls the P&L and balance sheet so you're prepped before the meeting. Hours saved every week.

E-commerce Seller

Orders become invoices automatically

You sell custom products online. Each order needs an invoice in Wave for your records. OpenClaw picks up new orders, creates the customer in Wave (or finds the existing one), generates the invoice with the correct products and tax rates, and marks it paid. Your books match your sales without you touching a spreadsheet.

How setup works

Three steps. We handle the technical work.

1

We connect OpenClaw to your Wave account

We set up OAuth 2.0 authentication and configure webhooks so OpenClaw can access your customers, invoices, transactions, and payment events. Wave's API is free to use on any plan. This happens on day one.

2

We configure the AI for your workflow

Your invoicing rules. Your payment terms. Your expense categories. How you want overdue reminders worded. We train OpenClaw on how your business handles money so it acts the way you would. Every business is different, and the setup reflects that.

3

OpenClaw starts running your books

Invoices go out on time. Payments get tracked. Transactions get categorized. You review the first few days, tell us what to adjust, and we fine-tune. Within a week, your accounting runs itself.

Common questions

Does OpenClaw replace Wave?
No. OpenClaw connects to Wave through its GraphQL API and operates it on your behalf. Your Wave account, data, and settings stay exactly where they are. OpenClaw adds a layer of intelligence so invoices get sent, expenses get categorized, and clients get followed up with automatically.
What Wave features can OpenClaw access?
OpenClaw connects to Wave's full GraphQL API: customers, invoices, payments, accounts, transactions, products and services, journal entries, and business settings. It can also receive webhook notifications when invoices are paid, created, or updated. If Wave exposes it through the API, OpenClaw can read it, write to it, and act on it.
How long does the integration setup take?
Most Wave integrations are fully running within 2 to 4 days. The API connection happens on day one. The rest is configuring how OpenClaw handles your specific invoicing rules, payment follow-ups, and expense categorization preferences. Within a week, it's handling your books on its own.
Is Wave really free? What's the catch?
Wave's core accounting and invoicing features are genuinely free with no limits on users, transactions, or businesses. They charge for optional add-ons: payment processing (2.9% + 30¢ per card transaction) and payroll services. The API access is included at no extra cost. You can use OpenClaw with Wave without paying Wave a cent.
Can OpenClaw work with my accountant's workflow?
Yes. OpenClaw keeps Wave's data clean and organized, which makes your accountant's job easier. Transactions are categorized, invoices are sent on time, and financial reports are always current. Your accountant still has full access to Wave and can review everything OpenClaw has done. Most accountants love it because they spend less time on data cleanup.
