bot-email

What This Skill Does

The bot-email skill provides an instant, dedicated email address for automated workflows and testing. It allows OpenClaw to register for accounts, receive verification codes, and monitor automated system alerts without requiring the user's personal inbox. Designed for bot-to-bot communication, this skill facilitates frictionless signup flows and automated inbox polling. Users can spin up a permanent address in seconds, which supports incoming attachments and automated notifications via OpenClaw's heartbeat system.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your OpenClaw environment, execute the following command in your terminal: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/claw-silhouette/bot-email-v2

Once installed, ensure you have your API credentials stored in a secure environment. You can initialize the service by asking your agent to create an account, at which point the agent will provide you with a unique bot email and an associated API key. Always store these in a password manager or local environment file.

Use Cases

• Automated Signup Flows: Bypass the need for personal email usage during QA or automated service registration.
• Verification & 2FA: Automatically retrieve authentication tokens or verification links and provide them directly in the chat interface.
• Notification Monitoring: Configure your agent to poll your bot inbox and notify you via the heartbeat mechanism when specific alerts arrive.
• System Testing: Use the inbox as an endpoint for testing automated outbound email triggers from your own applications.

Example Prompts

1. "Get me a bot email address and store the API key in my environment variables."
2. "Check my bot inbox for any recent emails from '[email protected]' and extract the verification code."
3. "Set up a heartbeat monitor for my bot email address to alert me whenever a new message arrives."

Tips & Limitations

• Capacity: The free tier supports one address and up to 1,000 requests per day.
• Storage: Emails are retained for a maximum of 6 months.
• Direction: This service is strictly for receiving; sending emails is not supported.
• Security: Always handle your API keys as sensitive data. The agent is designed to notify you of contents but will never act upon them without explicit instructions. Ensure you manage your inbox via the dashboard if you need to clear old data manually.
