Give Your Agent Its Own Email Inbox with AgentMail

You wouldn't give your intern your inbox—give your agent its own. AgentMail makes it easy.

Overview

InstantClaw recommends separating concerns: give your agent its own inbox , not yours. AgentMail is an API-first email platform designed for AI agents: create inboxes programmatically, use usage-based pricing, and let your agent send, receive, and act on emails in its own mailbox. Share your AgentMail API key only in this private conversation.

01. Get your AgentMail API key

Go to AgentMail Console, sign up or log in, and create an API key.

02. Send this to your agent

In your Telegram or Slack chat with your OpenClaw agent, send:

Set up AgentMail for me.
Run npx clawhub@latest install agentmail.
When you're ready, ask me for my AgentMail API key and what to name the email mailbox so you can configure it.
After it's set up and you have your mailbox, add a heartbeat task to check your inbox every X minutes.

Replace X with how often you want the agent to check its inbox—e.g. 5 or 10 for every 5 or 10 minutes.
