WPS Time / NetTime Punchclock
Run the bundled Playwright script to log into WPS Time NetTime using macOS Keychain credentials, perform the requested punch action (or status check), take a screenshot, and report results.

First-time setup (per machine / per user)
Option A (recommended): local terminal setup (password never enters chat logs)
Run the interactive setup script to store credentials in macOS Keychain:
cd {baseDir}/scripts
node ./setup.mjs
This stores credentials locally under Keychain services:
wpstime-punchclock.company(secret = company/common id)wpstime-punchclock(account = username, secret = password)
Option B: chat wizard setup (includes password; higher risk)
Only use if the user explicitly asks for chat-based setup and accepts that the password will appear in chat history/logs.
Workflow:
1) Warn clearly:
- the password will be sent via chat and may be stored by the chat platform + gateway logs.
- recommend Option A instead.
2) If they still confirm, collect 3 fields in separate turns:
- companyId
- username
- password
3) Store into macOS Keychain on the SAME machine running the gateway using security add-generic-password -U:
security add-generic-password -U -s "wpstime-punchclock.company" -a "company" -w "<companyId>"
security add-generic-password -U -s "wpstime-punchclock" -a "<username>" -w "<password>"
4) Never echo the password back. After storing, run status to verify login works.
Workflow
1) Run the punch script (headless by default):
node {baseDir}/scripts/punchclock.mjs --action <action>
Optional flags:
--headless 0for debugging--outDir <path>to control screenshot output
2) Parse stdout JSON.
On success: read
performed,screenshotPath, and (optionally) pull key fields fromsnippet.On failure: report
errorand do not claim the punch succeeded.
3) Reply to the requesting channel with:
one-line confirmation (what was performed)
effective status/time if present (best-effort)
attach the screenshot at
screenshotPath
4) If the user asks to clock in/out but they may already be in that state, prefer running status first or immediately after to confirm and avoid double-punch confusion.
Credentials (macOS Keychain)
Do not store secrets in files or prompts. Use Keychain.
Preferred services (used by setup.mjs):
Service
wpstime-punchclock.company→ secret = company/common idService
wpstime-punchclock→ account = username, secret = password
Backward-compat (older OpenClaw setups):
openclaw.wpstime.companyopenclaw.wpstime
If missing, the punch script throws an error. When that happens, guide the user to run:
cd {baseDir}/scripts
node ./setup.mjs
Then retry the requested action.
