What is Dialpad?
The Dialpad skill is a robust communication module designed to bridge the gap between AI agents and traditional telephony. By utilizing the Dialpad API, this skill empowers agents within the Openclaw Skills ecosystem to send individual or batch SMS messages and initiate outbound voice calls. It supports various caller IDs for sales, support, or personal contexts, providing a professional touch to automated outreach.
Beyond basic messaging, the skill features deep integration with Text-to-Speech (TTS) engines, including high-quality ElevenLabs voices. This allows for dynamic, natural-sounding voice interactions. With built-in SQLite storage and full-text search capabilities, managing communication history and tracking message delivery becomes seamless for developers.
Dialpad Use Cases
- Sending automated appointment reminders or meeting updates via SMS.
- Initiating outbound sales calls with professional Text-to-Speech greetings.
- Managing high-volume customer support notifications through batch SMS.
- Archiving and searching through communication history for auditing or context retrieval.
How Dialpad Works
- The skill authenticates with the Dialpad API using a secure API key provided in the environment variables.
- When an SMS command is triggered, the agent specifies the recipient, message content, and an optional caller ID.
- For voice calls, the skill initiates an outbound connection and can optionally play a TTS message using either Dialpad's native engine or ElevenLabs.
- Real-time message tracking is handled via webhook subscriptions that capture incoming and outgoing events.
- All communication data is persisted to a local SQLite database, enabling fast, indexed searching of historical threads.
Dialpad Setup
To get started with this skill from the Openclaw Skills collection, configure your environment variables:
# Required: Your Dialpad API Key

# Optional: Your ElevenLabs API Key for premium voices

Ensure you have Python 3.7+ installed. No external dependencies are required as the skill uses the standard library.
