Gmail Skill

This skill allows Clawdbot to interact with Gmail using browser automation.

1. Sending an Email

Direct Link Strategy (Fastest):
To avoid navigating the inbox UI, open the "Compose" view directly.

1. Open Compose Window:
   Call browser.open with: https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#inbox?compose=new
   Use profile="clawd" unless instructed otherwise.

2. Snapshot & Fill:
   Call browser.snapshot to get accessibility references.
   Look for these fields (names may vary slightly):

   • combobox "To recipients" (or similar)
   • textbox "Subject"
   • textbox "Message Body"

3. Action Sequence:
   Use browser.act to fill the fields.

   • To: type email address -> press Enter.
   • Subject: type subject text.
   • Body: type body text.
   • Send: click the "Send" button (usually button "Send (Ctrl-Enter)").

Pro Tip: If act:fill fails, use act:type for each field individually.

2. Checking Email

1. Navigate: browser.open -> https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#inbox
2. Snapshot: Look for row elements in the grid or table.
3. Read: The snapshot usually contains the sender, subject, and snippet in the accessibility tree labels.

3. Troubleshooting

• "Account chooser": If the browser isn't logged in, you will see a login page. Ask the user to log in via the VNC/Canvas view or interactive mode first.
• "Chrome Extension Error": If profile="chrome" fails, switch to profile="clawd" (the internal browser).
