OpenClaw
This example installs an Inkbox skill into OpenClaw so your agent gets a real email address, phone number, and encrypted vault. Once installed, the agent can send and receive email, browse threads, search a mailbox, place outbound calls, retrieve call transcripts, and manage encrypted credentials — all from natural-language prompts.
What it does

Requirements
- Node.js ≥ 18
- An OpenClaw installation with OpenClaw Gateway running
- An Inkbox account with an API key
Setup
1. Get an Inkbox API key
Sign in at inkbox.ai/console and create an API key.
2. Store the key in a protected env file
bashIf OpenClaw Gateway runs as a background service, restart it after writing the file so it picks up the new variable.
3. Install clawhub (if needed) and the Inkbox skill
bash4. Add the Inkbox config to ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json
JSON5. Restart OpenClaw Gateway and start a new session
INKBOX_AGENT_HANDLE is optional at install time. If not set, the agent will walk you through creating an Inkbox identity on first use.
Usage
Once installed, talk to your OpenClaw agent naturally:
"Set up my Inkbox identity" "Check my inbox" "Send an email to [email protected] with subject 'Hello' and say hi" "Search my email for invoices" "Show me the full thread for that last message" "Call +15551234567" "Show my recent calls" "Get the transcript for that last call"
