What This Skill Does

The Cold Email skill for OpenClaw, powered by MachFive, is an advanced AI-driven outreach engine designed to eliminate generic, templated messaging. Instead of static scripts, this tool researches individual prospects based on their professional profiles—including LinkedIn URLs, company websites, and job titles—to craft high-converting, deeply relevant email sequences. By leveraging sophisticated LLM capabilities, the skill generates 3 to 5-part sequences that sound like they were written by a human researcher, significantly increasing response rates for sales and marketing professionals.

Installation

To install this skill, run the following command in your terminal within your OpenClaw environment: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/bobdevibecoder/bobagent-cold-email After installation, ensure you have obtained your API key from https://app.machfive.io/settings. Set the MACHFIVE_API_KEY environment variable in your configuration file to authenticate the requests.

Use Cases

This skill is perfect for B2B sales teams who need to scale their outreach without sacrificing quality. It is ideal for:

• SaaS Outreach: Creating personalized sequences that reference specific pain points relevant to a prospect's role at their current company.
• Recruitment: Sending highly targeted messages to candidates based on their career history and professional achievements.
• Account-Based Marketing (ABM): Crafting custom narratives for high-value enterprise targets that demonstrate thorough research and genuine interest.

Example Prompts

1. "I need to reach out to Sarah Miller, the VP of Engineering at TechFlow. Use the 'Q1 Outreach' campaign to generate a 3-email sequence focusing on their recent expansion. Here is her LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/sarahmiller."
2. "Can you list all my current campaigns? I'm not sure which ID to use for my outreach to the marketing leads list."
3. "Draft a cold email sequence for John Doe at Acme Corp ([email protected]). Please use the 'Direct Meeting CTA' and include my standard signature."

Tips & Limitations

• Campaign Discovery: Always call GET /api/v1/campaigns if you are unsure of your campaign ID. The skill requires an active campaign identifier to ensure leads are filed correctly.
• Latency Awareness: Because the AI performs deep prospect research, requests can take up to 5 minutes to complete. Ensure your agent configuration allows for a timeout of at least 300 seconds to prevent premature failure.
• Quality Control: While the AI is powerful, always review the generated sequences before sending to ensure the tone matches your specific brand voice.
• Dependencies: This skill relies strictly on the MachFive API. Ensure your network has permission to reach the endpoint, and verify your API credits periodically.
