Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/awspace/email-skillWhat This Skill Does
The email skill for OpenClaw is a powerful automation utility designed to streamline communication workflows by allowing the AI to send, organize, and manage electronic correspondence directly from your workstation. It abstracts the complexity of SMTP protocols and authentication, enabling users to programmatically dispatch messages with support for plain text, HTML, and complex file attachments. By centralizing email capabilities within the OpenClaw agent, you can bridge the gap between file processing tasks and communication, such as automatically emailing generated reports, confirming data exports, or handling routine transactional updates without manual intervention.
Installation
To integrate this skill into your environment, use the OpenClaw command-line interface. Run the installation command: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/awspace/email-skill. After installation, ensure you have a valid email_config.json file in your workspace directory or have properly configured your environment variables for SMTP communication. Users utilizing Gmail should generate an App Password to maintain security while allowing the agent to authenticate successfully via secure TLS/SSL protocols.
Use Cases
- Automated Reporting: Configure the agent to process raw data, convert it to PDF or CSV, and email it to stakeholders on a set schedule.
- Feedback Loops: Send automated test emails to verify system health or connection credentials after configuring server parameters.
- Bulk Communication: Draft and dispatch templated emails to distribution lists while maintaining CC/BCC integrity.
- Workflow Notifications: Use the skill as a final step in an automation pipeline to notify a team when a background task or long-running process completes.
Example Prompts
- "Send the latest project report located in my downloads folder to the project manager at [email protected] with the subject: Quarterly Update."
- "Draft an email to the dev team informing them that the server migration is complete, including an HTML-formatted checklist."
- "Email the current status log to [email protected] and cc stakeholders on the distribution list."
Tips & Limitations
To ensure optimal security, always avoid hardcoding credentials directly into scripts; use the recommended configuration file or protected environment variables instead. Be aware that the skill requires a reliable SMTP server and will fail if the provided credentials lack appropriate permissions or if the specified ports are blocked by a corporate firewall. Always test your configuration using the --test flag before relying on the agent for critical business communications.
