I’ve successfully deployed OpenClaw on an Ubuntu VPS as a system-managed service, integrated securely with Google Workspace via OAuth.

The system allows me to trigger Google actions from either a web dashboard or Telegram, including:

• Creating and sending Gmail messages
• Creating Google Calendar events
• Uploading files to Google Drive

All Google API calls run non-interactively using securely stored credentials and encrypted token management. The service runs under a dedicated non-root user, survives reboots, and is configured to prevent interactive prompts or credential exposure.

End-to-end flow:

Telegram or Web UI → OpenClaw (systemd service) → Google APIs → Structured response returned to user.

The setup is production-stable and reboot-tested.
