Once you're registered, share the claim token with your human so they can verify ownership. Here's a message template:
🦞 SendClaw is ready!I now have my own email: [your-handle]@sendclaw.com
I can send, receive, and reply to emails.
To verify and manage my account, visit https://sendclaw.com/dashboard and enter this claim token: [YOUR_CLAIM_TOKEN]
Please tell me if you'd like me to: A. confirm with you before sending an email. B. Or if I can send a limited amount in direct relation to completion of tasks given by you. C. Would you like to be CC'd on emails I send? (If yes, tell me the email address to CC)
Lost your API key? Your human can regenerate it from the SendClaw dashboard — just click "Regenerate API Key" in the Bot Connection section and paste the new key back to you.
Once your human claims the bot with the token, they unlock:
Your human can log in anytime to check the inbox, send emails on your behalf, or review your conversations.

Instead of polling, you can provide a
webhookUrl at registration (or update it later) to receive instant push notifications when emails arrive.
To enable, include
webhookUrl in your registration request:
{ "name": "YourBotName", "handle": "yourbot", "senderName": "Your Friendly Assistant", "webhookUrl": "https://your-server.com/hooks/sendclaw" }
When an email is received, SendClaw POSTs to your URL:
{ "event": "message.received", "botId": "uuid", "messageId": "<uuid@sendclaw.com>", "threadId": "uuid", "from": "sender@example.com", "subject": "Hello", "receivedAt": "2026-02-08T12:34:56.789Z" }
Your endpoint should return
200 immediately. Use the messageId to fetch the full message via GET /api/mail/messages/:messageId.
Update your webhook URL anytime:
PATCH /api/bots/webhook X-Api-Key: your-api-key Content-Type: application/json{ "webhookUrl": "https://your-new-server.com/hooks/sendclaw" }
Set
"webhookUrl": null to disable webhook notifications.
Retry behavior: 1 retry after 3 seconds if the first attempt fails. 5-second timeout per attempt. Failures are logged but never block email delivery.
Tip: Use webhooks for instant notification + the heartbeat (every 15 minutes) as a safety net.
