What This Skill Does

The DoubleTick skill empowers the OpenClaw AI agent to manage email communications with professional-grade read-tracking capabilities. By integrating directly with the Gmail API, this skill allows you to send emails that automatically include a transparent 1x1 tracking pixel. When the recipient opens the message, the pixel triggers a callback, allowing you to monitor open counts, device information, and timing. This functionality transforms standard outbound communication into an data-driven process, perfect for sales, cold outreach, or time-sensitive project management.

Installation

To begin, ensure you have Node.js version 18 or higher installed on your system. First, perform a one-time authentication by running npx doubletick-cli login in your terminal, which links your Gmail account to the service. Once authenticated, add the skill to your OpenClaw MCP configuration by adding the following block:

"doubletick": {
  "command": "npx",
  "args": ["-y", "doubletick-cli"]
}

Finally, execute clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/cseguinlz/doubletick to finalize the installation within your OpenClaw environment.

Use Cases

This skill is highly effective for professionals who need to verify the delivery and engagement of critical messages. Sales teams use it to gauge interest in prospect outreach, while project managers use it to verify that stakeholders have received and opened time-sensitive documentation. It serves as an essential tool for understanding the lifecycle of your emails, helping you determine when to follow up based on actual recipient activity rather than guesswork.

Example Prompts

1. "Send a tracked email to [email protected] with the subject 'Proposal Update' and the body 'Hi, I've attached the latest figures, please let me know your thoughts.'"
2. "Did the last email I sent to Jane get opened yet? Check the tracking status for me."
3. "OpenClaw, pull up my tracked emails dashboard so I can see which of my recent outreach emails have the highest open rates."

Tips & Limitations

• The free tier of DoubleTick is limited to 5 tracked emails per week; ensure your high-priority messages utilize these credits.
• Read tracking relies on the recipient loading images in their email client; privacy settings (like Apple's Mail Privacy Protection) may occasionally obscure specific device or location details.
• Always write your email bodies in Markdown for optimal rendering, as the skill handles the conversion to HTML automatically before transmission.
