teltel-send-sms-text-message

What This Skill Does

The teltel-send-sms-text-message skill allows you to programmatically send SMS messages directly through the TelTel (teltel.io) infrastructure. By integrating with OpenClaw, this skill enables automated communication workflows, such as sending alerts, marketing notifications, or status updates to your users. It supports both single-message dispatch for individual alerts and bulk SMS functionality for large-scale notification campaigns. The skill is built to handle the complexity of the TelTel REST API, abstracting it into simple command-line interface scripts that can be invoked by the AI agent, while allowing for custom configuration via environment variables like the API key and sender identity.

Installation

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

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/teltel-call-center/teltel-send-sms-text-message

Once installed, you must perform the mandatory setup steps: register at https://www.teltel.io/, ensure your account is funded, verify your sender phone number/name, and retrieve your API key from the TelTel settings dashboard. Finally, configure your TELTEL_API_KEY within the OpenClaw Skills panel to authorize the agent to communicate with the API.

Use Cases

• Automated Alerts: Send real-time notifications to users when specific system events occur.
• Bulk Notifications: Reach an entire contact list simultaneously for announcements or marketing updates.
• Status Updates: Keep clients informed with automated delivery status messages.
• Testing/Dev Workflow: Use the --dry-run feature to validate your payload construction before firing live SMS messages.

Example Prompts

1. "Send a text to +37129999999 saying 'Your server maintenance is scheduled for tonight at 10 PM.'"
2. "Bulk send an SMS to all contacts in my list informing them that our new feature has officially launched today."
3. "Send a test message from my default number to +37128888888 confirming the system integration is active."

Tips & Limitations

• International Format: Always ensure recipient phone numbers follow international format (e.g., +371...). Failing to do so will result in API request rejection.
• Verification: Always send a manual test SMS from the TelTel dashboard first to ensure your sender ID is successfully verified; the API will fail if the sender name is not recognized.
• Dry Runs: Utilize the --dry-run flag during development to inspect your payload and destination numbers without consuming credit from your TelTel balance.
• Environment Variables: For security, prefer using environment variables for the API key rather than hardcoding credentials into scripts.
