Frequently Asked Questions
Can OpenClaw handle last-minute cancellations for a cleaning service?
Yes — when a customer cancels, your agent logs it, notifies the crew, attempts to fill the slot with waitlisted customers, and adjusts the daily schedule automatically.
How does OpenClaw track which crew is assigned to which job?
Maintain a scheduling file in your workspace that your agent reads and updates. Use a simple Markdown table or CSV — the agent can parse either format for assignments and communications.
Can OpenClaw manage multiple service areas or franchise locations?
Yes — use separate workspace files per location or create a multi-agent setup with one coordinator agent and location-specific sub-agents handling local scheduling and communications.
