Get Started
Build your own reporting agent
Get started with the ClawMesh platform and build your first automated report.
What we're building
An automated daily report system that pulls data from multiple sources every morning, compiles it into a formatted report, and delivers it to your team via Slack or email.
The agent runs on a schedule you define — daily at 9 AM, weekly on Monday morning, or whenever you need it. No manual work after the initial setup.
Step 1: Define your data sources
Before building the agent, identify where your report data lives. Common sources: Google Analytics (traffic, conversions), CRM (leads, deals), social media (engagement metrics), and project management tools (task progress).
List the 3-5 data sources most important for your daily decisions. Start small — you can always add more sources later.
Step 2: Install the Research Skill
The Research Skill gives your agent the ability to query APIs and extract structured data. Install it from the Skills Marketplace.
After installation, configure your API credentials for each data source in the skill settings. Most services have free tiers or developer access.
Step 3: Configure the report template
Define what your daily report should look like. A typical structure: Executive Summary (3 bullets), Key Metrics (yesterday's numbers), Notable Events (alerts, anomalies), and Recommended Actions (next steps).
Upload this template to your agent. The agent uses it as a framework for compiling data into a consistent format every time.
Step 4: Set up scheduled delivery
Configure the agent's schedule in the ClawMesh dashboard. Set it to run at 9 AM on weekdays, or whatever time works for your team.
Choose your delivery channel: Slack channel, email list, or Telegram group. The agent formats the report appropriately for each channel.
The result
Every morning at your configured time, the agent pulls fresh data, compiles it using your template, and delivers a formatted report. Your team starts the day informed without any manual work.
Over time, you can refine the template based on what information proves most valuable. The agent learns your preferences and improves over time.

Q&A
How long does this take to set up?
With clear data sources and a defined template, the initial setup takes 2-3 hours. Most teams are running their first automated report within a day.
What data sources can I connect?
Any service with an API. We have pre-built connectors for Google Analytics, Salesforce, HubSpot, Notion, Linear, GitHub, and 40+ more.
Can I customize the report format?
Yes. Define your own template with the sections and formatting your team prefers. Agents can output Markdown, HTML, or plain text.
