How to Create Branded Shares in OpenClaw

Branded shares in OpenClaw let agents deliver outputs using custom domains instead of generic sharing links. OpenClaw users install the Fastio skill to access branded portals powered by Fastio. This packages agent-generated files into branded deliveries that match your brand.

Start by installing the skill:

clawhub install dbalve/fast-io

This gives access to comprehensive tools for file operations, workspace management, and sharing. No config files or environment variables needed. Authentication happens through natural language chat.

The workflow looks like this: Your agent generates a deliverable, such as a data analysis report or design mockup. It uploads the file to a Fastio workspace. Then, it creates a branded share with your logo, colors, custom domain, and security settings. The recipient receives a link like reports.yourcompany.com/q1-analysis, protected by password if needed.

Recipients see a branded portal. They get your logo on login, your color scheme throughout, file previews without downloads, and analytics that track engagement, with no extra setup needed.

For developers building agentic workflows, this eliminates the 'amateur hour' feel of random links. Branded shares integrate with enterprise tools, support domain restrictions, and provide audit logs for compliance checks.

Pair with Fastio webhooks to trigger follow-ups. For example, notify your CRM when a client opens the share.

Developers value the zero-config setup. OpenClaw handles API keys securely, and tools work across LLMs like Claude, GPT-4, or Gemini.

Key Advantages:

• Custom domains: Builds instant trust. yourdomain.com looks official.
• Password protection: Secures sensitive agent outputs like financial models.
• Built-in analytics: Deal intelligence shows opens, time spent, downloads.
• File previews: View videos, PDFs, images without full download.
• Expiration and revocation: Set time limits or revoke instantly.

Branded shares fit right into agent pipelines. Agents create the content, humans review if needed, and clients receive a professional delivery.

Start small: Test generic shares, then layer on branding for client-facing work. This scales from solo devs to agency teams running multiple agents.

Generic sharing links come across as temporary or unprofessional. They use random IDs like fast.io/r/abc123xyz, which clients ignore or flag as spam. Branded shares change that. Recipients get links like deliverables.youragency.com/client-project, complete with your logo and colors.

Security starts with password protection for agent outputs containing proprietary data, like competitive analysis or custom code. Add expiration dates to limit access. Domain restrictions ensure only company emails can view.

Analytics come built-in through Fastio's deal intelligence. Track who opens the share, how long they spend reviewing files, which ones they download. Export data to your BI tools or trigger webhooks for sales follow-ups.

This scales across teams and agents. One agent handles research reports, another design assets. They create dedicated workspaces, populate with outputs, and generate branded shares. Humans join for final approval or take ownership via transfer.

Ownership transfer lets agents build complete packages (workspaces, files, shares) then hand off to clients while retaining admin rights.

Generic vs Branded Shares Comparison:

Agents handle the full pipeline automatically. Say "Create branded share for all files in workspace." Done. Human oversight stays optional but easy when needed.

Real teams use this for client reports, asset delivery, and internal handoffs. It turns agent outputs into branded deliverables.

Ready for Branded Agent Outputs?

Start with 50GB free storage and 251 MCP tools for OpenClaw. No credit card needed, 5,000 credits monthly.

Sign Up Free

Install OpenClaw locally. Supports Claude, GPT, Gemini. Chat via Telegram/WhatsApp/Discord.

Create Fastio agent account. Free tier: 50GB, 5,000 credits/month, 50 shares, no CC.

Chat "Install Fastio skill". Runs clawhub install dbalve/fast-io. Generate API key at dashboard, paste to auth.

Verify with "List my workspaces". See agent org ready.

Step 1: Install the Fastio Skill and Authenticate

OpenClaw supports installation via ClawHub. Start a conversation with your LLM.

You: Install the Fastio skill for OpenClaw.
OpenClaw: Installing via `clawhub install dbalve/fast-io`...
Skill installed successfully. Please generate a Fastio API key from https://go.fast.io/settings/api-keys and paste it here.
You: [your-api-key]
OpenClaw: Authenticated. Ready to use Fastio tools.

The skill stores credentials securely. No manual config needed.

Step 2: Set Up Your Workspace

Workspaces act as project containers for agent outputs.

You: List my Fastio workspaces.
OpenClaw: No workspaces found. Agent org created.

You: Create Fastio workspace \"q1-sales-deliverables\".
OpenClaw: Workspace created (ID: ws_xyz123). Permissions: private.

Verify with "Show workspace details." Note the ID for later.

Step 3: Generate Content and Upload Files

Agents excel at creating artifacts. Upload directly.

You: Generate Q1 sales performance PDF report and upload to q1-sales-deliverables workspace.
OpenClaw: Analyzing data... Report generated (sales-q1.pdf, 1.8MB). Uploading...
Upload complete. File ID: file_abc456.

Handles large files with chunking up to 1GB. Supports any format.

Step 4: Create the Branded Share

Combine files into a branded portal.

You: Create branded share for all files in q1-sales-deliverables. Custom path: /q1-sales, domain: reports.acmeagency.com, logo: /assets/logo.png, primary color #1e40af, password: sales2026.
OpenClaw: Share created (ID: sh_def789). URL: https://reports.acmeagency.com/q1-sales
Preview: Logo applied, colors set, password enabled.

Fastio applies branding instantly. Custom domain requires DNS setup in Fastio settings (CNAME to shares.fast.io).

Step 5: Enhance with Security and Analytics

You: Update share sh_def789: expire in 30 days, enable download logs, restrict to @acmeagency.com domains.
OpenClaw: Updated. Deal intelligence active (track views and engagement).

Analytics dashboard shows metrics. Webhooks for real-time alerts.

Step 6: Test and Share

Visit the URL, test password and previews. Distribute to clients.

The full cycle is quick once set up. Scales to dozens of deliveries daily.

Take shares further with data rooms for high-stakes deliveries. Data rooms bundle multiple files into secure, branded spaces with advanced controls.

Enable deal intelligence for detailed metrics: page views per file, session duration, download timestamps. Ideal for sales proposals or legal docs.

Webhooks add reactivity. Set up notifications for access events.

You: Set webhook on share sh_def789 for \"view\" events to https://yourapp.com/webhook.
OpenClaw: Webhook registered. Payload includes viewer IP, timestamp, files accessed.

Ownership transfer completes the handoff. Agents construct everything, then transfer.

You: Transfer ownership of workspace q1-sales-deliverables to email client@acme.com.
OpenClaw: Ownership transferred. You retain admin access.

File locks coordinate multi-agent work. Acquire before edits.

You: Acquire lock on sales-q1.pdf.
OpenClaw: Lock acquired. Release when done.

Combine these for production workflows: generate -> lock -> edit -> share -> webhook -> transfer.

API Authentication Issues

Symptom: "Invalid API key" errors.

Fix: Regenerate key at https://go.fast.io/settings/api-keys. Paste fresh one into OpenClaw chat. Clear local ClawHub cache if persistent.

Custom Domain Problems

Symptom: Links show fast.io instead of yourdomain.com.

Fix: In Fastio settings, add custom domain. Set CNAME record: yourdomain.com → shares.fast.io. Propagation takes some time. Test with dig or nslookup.

Credit or Limit Exceeded

Symptom: Uploads fail after storage limits are reached.

Fix: Free agent tier provides 50 shares, 50GB storage, and 5,000 credits per month. Monitor usage in dashboard. Upgrade for more.

Tool Execution Failures

Symptom: OpenClaw says "Tool failed" without details.

Fix: Check OpenClaw logs (usually ~/.openclaw/logs). Common: network issues, file too large (>1GB), invalid workspace ID.

Branding Not Applying

Symptom: Share shows default Fastio theme.

Fix: Verify logo URL accessible, colors valid hex. Re-create share after upload.

Analytics Missing

Symptom: No data in dashboard.

Fix: Ensure deal intelligence enabled during share creation. Wait a moment for processing.

Pro tip: Always test end-to-end with a dummy project before client delivery. Use OpenClaw's verbose mode for debugging.
