# How to connect Smtp2go to OpenClaw (paste one key, 32 tools) > Connect Smtp2go to OpenClaw with ClawLink: paste your Smtp2go key once and 32 tools work from chat. No MCP server to run, nothing stored on your machine. Web version: https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/smtp2go The usual route to Smtp2go access for OpenClaw is an MCP server you configure and keep running, plus your own OAuth app or API keys. ClawLink gives OpenClaw a more practical Smtp2go setup: install one ClawHub skill, connect Smtp2go in the browser, and OpenClaw can call real Smtp2go actions from any chat surface with no auth, token refresh, or tool wiring to build yourself. ## Setup It takes three steps to connect OpenClaw to Smtp2go. 1. **Install ClawLink** — add the plugin to OpenClaw once. 2. **Connect Smtp2go** — one-click OAuth in the ClawLink dashboard. 3. **Use it from chat** — ask OpenClaw in plain English. **Paste this into OpenClaw to set up ClawLink:** > I want to connect my apps to OpenClaw through ClawLink. > Please install the ClawLink plugin from ClawHub and enable it: `openclaw plugins install clawhub:clawlink-plugin` > When it is installed, tell me and stop. After I reply, give me the ClawLink pairing link. Setup notes, if you need them: https://claw-link.dev/skill.md **Alternative for any agent (no plugin needed):** if the OpenClaw plugin route isn't available or doesn't work, any AI agent with shell access can use the ClawLink CLI instead: ```bash npx -y @useclawlink/cli login # sign in via browser — no API key to paste npx -y @useclawlink/cli connect smtp2go # connect Smtp2go (browser OAuth) npx -y @useclawlink/cli actions smtp2go # list available actions npx -y @useclawlink/cli run smtp2go --input '' # execute (add --confirm for writes) ``` ### Install by command The setup prompt above does all of this in one paste. By hand, it is one install command plus a browser approval: ```bash openclaw plugins install clawhub:clawlink-plugin ``` Then ask OpenClaw to set up ClawLink. It starts browser pairing and prints an approval link — open it, approve the device, return to the chat, and say `done`. Finally, connect Smtp2go in the [ClawLink dashboard](https://claw-link.dev/dashboard) — paste your Smtp2go API key once. Verify the connection by asking OpenClaw: > Search Smtp2go for what I need, summarize the results, and tell me the next best action. ### Using a different agent? The OpenClaw plugin is one client of ClawLink's MCP server. Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, or any agent that can run a shell command pairs with the same ClawLink account through the CLI: ```bash npx -y @useclawlink/cli login ``` `login` opens the same browser approval and stores a credential locally. Once Smtp2go is connected in the dashboard, that agent calls the same 32 Smtp2go tools over MCP.

ClawLink connects Smtp2go to OpenClaw and exposes 32 Smtp2go tools your agent can call over [MCP](https://claw-link.dev/learn/what-is-an-mcp-server), with [hosted auth](https://claw-link.dev/learn/oauth-for-ai-agents) and nothing to run or maintain yourself. Using Hermes instead? The [Hermes Smtp2go integration](https://claw-link.dev/hermes/smtp2go) works the same way. ## What the OpenClaw Smtp2go integration can do 32 Smtp2go tools are ready for OpenClaw once the account is connected. The 30 below are the ones people reach for most; your agent can call all 32. ### 30 of 32 Smtp2go tools for OpenClaw | Tool | What it does | |---|---| | **Activity search** `smtp2go_activity_search` | Search activity events like sends, opens, clicks, and bounces | | **Allowed senders view** `smtp2go_allowed_senders_view` | View the list of allowed senders configured in your account | | **Email search** `smtp2go_email_search` | Search sent emails | | **Ip allow list view** `smtp2go_ip_allow_list_view` | View the list of IP addresses in your IP allow list | | **Sms view received** `smtp2go_sms_view_received` | Retrieve received SMS replies for your SMTP2GO account | | **Stats email bounces** `smtp2go_stats_email_bounces` | Retrieve email bounces statistics | | **Stats email cycle** `smtp2go_stats_email_cycle` | Retrieve current email cycle/quota statistics | | **Stats email history** `smtp2go_stats_email_history` | Retrieve email history statistics | | **Stats email spam** `smtp2go_stats_email_spam` | Retrieve email spam report statistics | | **Stats email unsubs** `smtp2go_stats_email_unsubs` | Retrieve email unsubscribe statistics | | **Subaccounts search** `smtp2go_subaccounts_search` | Search subaccounts | | **Subaccounts usage** `smtp2go_subaccounts_usage` | Retrieve usage statistics for subaccounts | | **Suppression view** `smtp2go_suppression_view` | View the suppression list | | **Template search** `smtp2go_template_search` | Search your collection of email templates by ID or name | | **Template view** `smtp2go_template_view` | View details of a specific email template | | **Users smtp view** `smtp2go_users_smtp_view` | List all SMTP users configured on your account | | **Webhook view** `smtp2go_webhook_view` | View all webhooks configured in your account | | **Allowed senders add** `smtp2go_allowed_senders_add` | Add a new allowed sender email address | | **Allowed senders update** `smtp2go_allowed_senders_update` | Update (replace) the entire allowed senders list in your SMTP2GO account | | **Domain add** `smtp2go_domain_add` | Add a new sender domain for SPF/DKIM verification | | **Ip allow list add** `smtp2go_ip_allow_list_add` | Add a public IP address to your account's IP allow list | | **Suppression add** `smtp2go_suppression_add` | Add email addresses or domains to the suppression list | | **Template edit** `smtp2go_template_edit` | Edit details of an existing email template | | **Users smtp add** `smtp2go_users_smtp_add` | Add a new SMTP user | | **Users smtp edit** `smtp2go_users_smtp_edit` | Edit details of an existing SMTP user | | **Webhook add** `smtp2go_webhook_add` | Create a new webhook | | **Webhook edit** `smtp2go_webhook_edit` | Edit an existing webhook’s settings | | **Allowed senders remove** `smtp2go_allowed_senders_remove` | Remove a sender email address from the allowed senders list | | **Ip allow list remove** `smtp2go_ip_allow_list_remove` | Remove an IP address from your account's IP allow list | | **Suppression remove** `smtp2go_suppression_remove` | Remove an email address or domain from the suppression list | ## Example prompts **Activity Search** > Search Smtp2go for what I need, summarize the results, and tell me the next best action. **Allowed Senders View** > Use Smtp2go to allowed senders view and walk me through the result in plain English. **Email Search** > Search Smtp2go for what I need, summarize the results, and tell me the next best action. **Ip Allow List View** > Use Smtp2go to ip allow list view and walk me through the result in plain English. ## ClawLink vs. building it yourself The alternative to ClawLink is usually manual API key setup plus your own token handling, permission troubleshooting, and tool plumbing for OpenClaw. That is fine if you want to build and maintain the integration yourself. Most teams just want Smtp2go working from chat. | | Manual | ClawLink | |---|---|---| | **Credential handling** | Collect, validate, store, and rotate the Smtp2go API key yourself, then make sure every tool call uses the right account. | Users complete the hosted ClawLink setup once and the connected Smtp2go account becomes available to the agent without you building credential management. | | **Ongoing maintenance** | You own refresh logic, permission debugging, environment config, and every provider-specific edge case for Smtp2go. | ClawLink handles the repetitive integration plumbing so your team can focus on the workflow instead of the infrastructure. | | **Agent usability** | You still need to expose the right Smtp2go actions to the runtime in a format your agent can reliably use. | 32 tools for Smtp2go are already exposed through ClawLink, so the agent can read and act from chat immediately. | ## ClawLink vs. Composio Composio also exposes Smtp2go to AI agents. It is developer infrastructure: Python and TypeScript SDKs, an MCP server, and a catalog past 1,000 apps, aimed at teams shipping agent products. ClawLink is built for OpenClaw users instead. You install the plugin once, connect Smtp2go in the browser, and the 32 tools above work from chat. There is no SDK and no config file, and the Smtp2go key you paste at setup is stored server-side rather than kept in your environment. Choosing between them? Read the full [Composio alternatives](https://claw-link.dev/hub/composio-alternatives) comparison. ### OpenClaw installed the Smtp2go skill but can't call the tools The ClawHub skill teaches OpenClaw about Smtp2go, but the calls run through the ClawLink plugin and your connected account. Make sure Smtp2go is connected in the dashboard, then start a fresh chat so OpenClaw reloads the tool catalog. If OpenClaw runs as a persistent gateway, restart it so the new tools register. ### Connection succeeds but no tools appear Reconnect Smtp2go from the dashboard, then start a fresh chat if the runtime still has the old tool catalog loaded. ### "Tool schema not loaded yet" error when calling Smtp2go tools Smtp2go tool schemas load on demand the first time a tool runs and are cached after that, so this error usually clears on its own: wait a few seconds and retry the same request. If every Smtp2go call keeps failing with it in a fresh chat, reconnect from the dashboard, and contact support if it still persists — that pattern points to a configuration problem on our side, not something you can fix by reconnecting again. ### Smtp2go returns 403 or "permission denied" on one action while others work Two usual causes. The connected account may not have access to the specific workspace, inbox, store, or project in the request — check that first. If access looks right, the agent may have sent a placeholder value (like "YOUR_ID" or an example id from documentation) instead of a real one: ask it to run a list or search tool first, then retry the action with a real id from those results. Most failures at this stage are one of these two, not ClawLink bugs. ### API key setup works but results look incomplete Double-check that the API key for Smtp2go has the right scopes or account access. A valid key can still be too limited for some reads or writes. ### Is there a OpenClaw Smtp2go integration? Yes. ClawLink is the fastest way to connect OpenClaw to Smtp2go: link your Smtp2go account once in the browser and OpenClaw can call the Smtp2go API through 32 ready-made tools — no custom code or token handling. ### How do I add Smtp2go to OpenClaw with ClawLink? Paste the setup prompt from this page into OpenClaw. It installs the ClawLink Smtp2go skill from ClawHub, then you click Connect in the dashboard to authorize Smtp2go. OpenClaw calls the tools from the next message — no config files, and the Smtp2go key you paste is stored server-side instead of in your environment. ### How long does it take to connect Smtp2go to OpenClaw? About two minutes. Sign in, click Connect next to Smtp2go in the dashboard, authenticate, and OpenClaw can use it from the next chat message. ### Why use ClawLink instead of wiring Smtp2go up myself? The alternative to ClawLink is usually manual API key setup plus your own token handling, permission troubleshooting, and tool plumbing for OpenClaw. That is fine if you want to build and maintain the integration yourself. Most teams just want Smtp2go working from chat. ### OpenClaw installed the Smtp2go skill but can't call the tools The ClawHub skill teaches OpenClaw about Smtp2go, but the calls run through the ClawLink plugin and your connected account. Make sure Smtp2go is connected in the dashboard, then start a fresh chat so OpenClaw reloads the tool catalog. If OpenClaw runs as a persistent gateway, restart it so the new tools register. ## Related - [ActiveCampaign tools](https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/activecampaign) — Marketing automation, CRM, and email marketing - [Benchmark Email tools](https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/benchmark-email) — Benchmark Email is a comprehensive email marketing platform offering tools for creating, sending, and analyzing email campaigns. - [OpenClaw Mailchimp integration](https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/mailchimp) — Create email campaigns and manage audiences
