Email automation for OpenClaw
Blog post from Resend
OpenClaw, a popular AI agent, faces challenges when sending automated emails due to security risks and limitations associated with using personal email accounts like Gmail. To address these issues, the guide suggests using Resend, an email API that offers a more secure and efficient solution by eliminating the need for inbox exposure and providing a dedicated API key. Users can set up Resend by creating a free account and either providing credentials or an API key to their OpenClaw agent. This allows OpenClaw to become proficient in sending and receiving emails without compromising security. The guide also outlines the process of installing necessary skills and servers to enable OpenClaw to send emails using Resend and create a webhook for receiving messages. With this setup, users can extend OpenClaw's capabilities to send daily briefings, auto-reply to support tickets, and send welcome emails, thus expanding the potential for AI agent integrations.
