send-emailSend emails via SMTP. Configure in ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json under skills.entries.send-email.env.
Install via ClawdBot CLI:
clawdbot install fontStep/send-emailSend emails via the Python script. SMTP settings are injected by OpenClaw at runtime when the script runs (from ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json → skills.entries.send-email.env). Do not read any config file (e.g. ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json or workspace/openclaw.json) — that would expose credentials in tool output. Just run the script; env is injected automatically. Do not use ~/.msmtprc.
Configure in ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json:
"skills": {
"entries": {
"send-email": {
"enabled": true,
"env": {
"EMAIL_SMTP_SERVER": "smtp.163.com",
"EMAIL_SMTP_PORT": "465",
"EMAIL_SENDER": "your-email@163.com",
"EMAIL_SMTP_PASSWORD": "YOUR_AUTH_CODE"
}
}
}
}| Variable | Description |
|----------|-------------|
| EMAIL_SMTP_SERVER | SMTP server, e.g. smtp.163.com, smtp.gmail.com |
| EMAIL_SMTP_PORT | Port, 465 (SSL) or 587 (TLS) |
| EMAIL_SENDER | Sender email address |
| EMAIL_SMTP_PASSWORD | Authorization code / app password (163/QQ: auth code; Gmail: App Password) |
skills.entries.send-email.env when the script runs — do not use the read tool on ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json or workspace/openclaw.json (exposes secrets). If the skill is enabled, assume env is configured; do not ask the user for passwords. Do not use ~/.msmtprc.
