Overview


OpenClaw is an open-source AI agent framework that lets you automate workflows using skills from ClawHub. The Cold Email Campaigns with SalesBlink skill connects your OpenClaw agent to SalesBlink, so you can manage lists, launch sequences, and track campaign performance directly from your agent.



Prerequisites


Before you start, confirm you have the following:


  • Active SalesBlink account: Sign up at https://run.salesblink.io/signup if you do not have one.
  • SalesBlink API key: Retrieve it from SalesBlink Dashboard > Integrations > API.
  • OpenClaw CLI or agent: Make sure OpenClaw is installed and running in your environment.


Step-by-Step Instructions


Step 1: Get Your API Key


  1. Log in to your SalesBlink account.
  2. Click Account in the Top Navbar.
  3. Select Integrations from the dropdown.
  4. Click the API tab.
  5. Click Create API Key.
  6. Enter a name for your API key (e.g., "OpenClaw Connection").
  7. Click Create New API Key.
  8. Copy the generated API key.



Step 2: Install the Skill


Install the skill using one of the methods below.


Via CLI


Run the following command in your terminal:


openclaw skills install cold-email-salesblink


Via Prompt


In your OpenClaw agent chat, type:


Install the skill "Cold Email Campaigns with SalesBlink" (sheksushant/cold-email-salesblink) from ClawHub.



Step 3: Inspect Skill Metadata and Finish Setup


After installation, inspect the skill metadata to confirm its capabilities and requirements. The metadata will show available actions, inputs, and any environment variables the skill expects.


Required Environment Variable


Based on the skill metadata, you must set the following environment variable:


Variable

Description

SALESBLINK_API_KEY

Your SalesBlink API key from Step 1.


Set it in your environment or in your OpenClaw configuration file (e.g., .env):


export SALESBLINK_API_KEY=your_salesblink_api_key_here


Note: Use only the requirements you can verify from the skill metadata on ClawHub. Do not add extra configuration unless the metadata explicitly requires it. If the metadata lists additional environment variables or setup steps, configure those as well.


For persistence, add this line to your ~/.bashrc, ~/.zshrc, or .env file.


Step 4: Verify the Connection


Test that OpenClaw can reach SalesBlink.


  1. Open your OpenClaw agent chat.
  2. Ask a simple question, such as:
  • "Show me my SalesBlink lists"
  • "What sequences are running?"
  1. The agent should respond with live data from your SalesBlink account.


Troubleshooting


Skill Not Found



Connection Failed


  • Confirm your API key is active in SalesBlink Dashboard> Integrations> API.
  • Make sure the SALESBLINK_API_KEY environment variable is exported in the same shell or process running OpenClaw.
  • Restart your OpenClaw agent after any configuration change.


Permission Errors


  • Check that your SalesBlink API key has the necessary scopes for the actions you want to perform.
