What This Skill Does

The email-outreach-ops skill is an advanced automation agent designed to streamline the procurement and logistics process for event planning and business operations. It functions as a digital procurement assistant that drafts Request for Quote (RFQ) emails based on specific user constraints. The skill is engineered to maintain consistency across multiple vendor communications, ensuring that every recipient receives the same set of critical questions regarding pricing, availability, and terms. Once emails are dispatched, the skill monitors for responses, tracks follow-up cadences, and automatically parses incoming reply data into normalized, decision-ready tables, allowing users to compare multiple vendors side-by-side without manual data entry.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your OpenClaw environment, execute the following command in your terminal: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/austineyapp/email-outreach-ops Ensure you have configured your mail provider credentials within the OpenClaw settings to allow the agent to send and receive correspondence on your behalf.

Use Cases

• Corporate Travel Logistics: Automatically reach out to multiple hotels for block room availability and conference rates.
• Vendor Procurement: Contact transport providers for coach bus or shuttle services during peak event seasons.
• Activity Sourcing: Query local activity providers for bulk booking discounts and cancellation policies.
• Follow-up Management: Maintain a strict follow-up schedule to ensure timely vendor feedback without manual reminders.

Example Prompts

1. "Draft an RFQ to all hotels in downtown Chicago for a 50-person conference on October 12th. Ask specifically about room rates, catering minimums, and their 48-hour cancellation policy."
2. "Follow up with the pending transport vendors from the June 15th list; remind them we need a quote by Friday for the shuttle service."
3. "Summarize all recent vendor responses regarding the upcoming team retreat into a comparison table, highlighting the lowest price and the most flexible payment terms."

Tips & Limitations

To maximize the efficiency of this skill, ensure your RFQ templates in references/rfq-templates.md are kept up to date. Keep your initial emails concise to encourage higher response rates from busy vendors. Note that while this skill excels at structured data extraction, it may struggle with highly non-standardized, conversational email threads or vendors that provide quotes via attached proprietary PDF documents that vary wildly in structure.
