The Inkbox OpenClaw plugin is a standalone OpenClaw channel plugin. It gives an OpenClaw agent its own Inkbox identity: mailbox, phone number, SMS, voice calls, contacts, notes, contact rules, identity access, and an Inkbox tunnel for inbound webhooks and WebSocket connections.

This is a plugin, not an Inkbox SDK skill. It lives in its own repository and wires Inkbox directly into OpenClaw's plugin SDK, gateway, tools, HTTP routes, CLI, and bundled OpenClaw task skills.

Plugin on GitHub ->

Install and configure OpenClaw first. The plugin currently targets OpenClaw 2026.5.27 or newer.

Install the Inkbox plugin from source:

Configure Inkbox and start or restart the gateway:

If the gateway is already running, restart it so it reloads the Inkbox channel config. Keep the gateway process running. On startup the plugin opens an Inkbox tunnel, configures mail and text webhook subscriptions, wires the incoming-call URL and call media WebSocket, and routes inbound email, SMS, and calls into OpenClaw sessions.

By the end of setup your OpenClaw agent has:

• An email address - send, receive, search, and reply from an Inkbox mailbox
• A phone number - SMS and voice calls, inbound and outbound
• An Inkbox tunnel - inbound webhooks and WebSocket connections reach the local OpenClaw gateway without a public server
• Contacts and notes - persistent Inkbox records the agent can create, update, and read
• Contact rules - mailbox and phone reachability controlled from Inkbox

OpenClaw itself stays upstream. The plugin adds an Inkbox channel, tool group, CLI setup wizard, gateway webhook routing, and package-included task skills without requiring an OpenClaw fork.

Run a quick health check:

Then text START to the agent's Inkbox phone number from any phone the agent needs to text. This opts that phone number in to SMS from the agent. You can also email the agent mailbox or call the agent phone number; the gateway routes those inbound events into OpenClaw.
