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.

Inputs → actions

Map user intent to the script --action:

Setup / credentials

• setup punchclock / configure punchclock / set up time clock → run setup flow

Punch actions

• clock in → clock-in
• clock out → clock-out
• start break → start-break
• end break → end-break (implemented as Clock In (end break) in script)
• start lunch → start-lunch
• end lunch → end-lunch (implemented as Clock In (end lunch) in script)
• status / check status → status

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>"

1. 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 0 for debugging
• --outDir <path> to control screenshot output

1. Parse stdout JSON.

• On success: read performed, screenshotPath, and (optionally) pull key fields from snippet.
• On failure: report error and do not claim the punch succeeded.

1. Reply to the requesting channel with:

• one-line confirmation (what was performed)
• effective status/time if present (best-effort)
• attach the screenshot at screenshotPath

1. 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 id
• Service wpstime-punchclock → account = username, secret = password

Backward-compat (older OpenClaw setups):

• openclaw.wpstime.company
• openclaw.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.
