inbox-zero-api

v2.29.2

Use the Inbox Zero API CLI to inspect the live API schema, list and manage automation rules, and read inbox analytics through the public API. Use this when a task involves Inbox Zero rules, stats, or API-driven automation and can be solved through the CLI instead of browser interaction.

Inbox Zero API CLI

Use this skill when the task is to inspect or change Inbox Zero state through the public API.

Workflow

  1. Prefer --json so the output is stable and machine-readable.
  2. Keep credentials in INBOX_ZERO_API_KEY or OpenClaw skill config. Avoid passing API keys as CLI flags unless there is no alternative.
  3. Before creating or replacing a rule body, fetch the live schema with inbox-zero-api openapi --json.
  4. For create and update flows, write JSON into a workspace file or pipe it on stdin.
  5. Treat rules update as a full replacement. Read the current rule first if you only intend to change part of it.

Quick Start

inbox-zero-api rules list --json
inbox-zero-api stats by-period --period week --json
inbox-zero-api openapi --json

If the CLI is not installed yet, install it with the OpenClaw installer or run npm install -g @inbox-zero/api.

OpenClaw Config

Set the API key in ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json under skills.entries.inboxZeroApi.apiKey, or export INBOX_ZERO_API_KEY in the host environment.

Use INBOX_ZERO_BASE_URL or inbox-zero-api config set base-url <url> only for self-hosted or nonstandard deployments.
