bot-email

What This Skill Does

The bot-email skill provides a seamless interface for generating and managing temporary or permanent email addresses specifically designed for automated agents. By integrating with the BotEmail.ai service, OpenClaw can instantly provision email addresses to handle verification codes, signup flows, and incoming notifications. The skill handles the complete lifecycle of bot-centric email communication, from address creation and inbox polling to secure heartbeat monitoring. It removes the friction of managing personal email credentials for automated tasks, ensuring privacy and separation between your personal inbox and your bot's activities.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your OpenClaw environment, execute the following command in your terminal:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/claw-silhouette/botemail-ai

Once installed, you can initialize your first bot email by simply stating "get me a bot email." The agent will interact with the BotEmail.ai API to generate a unique address and provide you with an API key, which you should store securely. For advanced users, the skill supports the configuration of heartbeat monitoring to keep you informed of incoming messages in real-time.

Use Cases

This skill is highly versatile for developers and power users alike:

• Verification Workflows: Automatically retrieve OTPs or activation links during account creation tests.
• Automated Testing: Validate email-based delivery systems in your software development lifecycle without using personal inboxes.
• Monitoring Systems: Act as a central hub for system-generated alerts or reports sent by services to your unique bot address.
• Privacy and Spam Reduction: Use these addresses for services that require email registration, effectively insulating your primary inbox from marketing spam.

Example Prompts

1. "I need to sign up for a new dev service. Please get me a bot email address and store it for this session."
2. "Check my bot email inbox for any new verification codes from the authentication provider."
3. "Set up a heartbeat monitor for my bot email address so I get notified whenever I receive a new message."

Tips & Limitations

• Security: Always treat your API key like a password. Never commit it to public repositories.
• Storage: Emails are stored for 6 months. Clear your inbox periodically using the delete commands to maintain organization.
• Constraints: The service is receive-only; you cannot send emails from your bot address. The free tier limits you to 1 address and 1,000 requests per day. All addresses must end with the [email protected] suffix.
