install a community automation skill
set up a community-built automation template from the dropspace marketplace in 10 minutes - from API key to running pipeline.
steps
get a dropspace API key
go to your dropspace settings and create a new API key. select the scopes your chosen template needs - most templates require launches:read, launches:write, content:write, and publish:write.
if you're unsure which scopes to pick, start with the defaults suggested in the template's README.
install the dropspace MCP server (optional)
for the best experience, install the dropspace MCP server so your AI assistant can help you configure and debug the automation: claude mcp add dropspace -- npx -y @jclvsh/dropspace-mcp
this step is optional but recommended. the MCP server lets Claude Code or Cursor interact with your dropspace account directly.
clone the openclaw repo
clone the dropspace-openclaw repository and navigate to the template directory for your chosen use case: git clone https://github.com/joshchoi4881/dropspace-openclaw && cd dropspace-openclaw
run the setup wizard
each template includes a setup wizard that walks you through configuration. run npm install followed by npm run setup in the template directory. the wizard prompts for your API key, platform preferences, and schedule.
configure your API key and platform connections
the setup wizard creates a local config file. verify your API key is set correctly and that the platforms you want to publish to are connected in your dropspace account.
make sure your platform accounts are connected in dropspace settings before running the automation - the template posts on your behalf via the API.
run the automation
start the automation with npm start. the template connects to the dropspace API, generates content according to its pipeline, and publishes to your configured platforms. check the terminal output for status updates.

customization tips
- adjust the schedule - most templates support cron-style scheduling. edit the config file to change frequency, time of day, or days of the week.
- swap platforms - change which platforms the template posts to by updating the platform list in the config. any platform connected in your dropspace account is available.
- use a persona - set a persona ID in the config to apply your brand voice to all generated content. find your persona ID in the dropspace dashboard or via the API.
- deploy to production - templates can run locally or be deployed to any Node.js hosting platform (Railway, Vercel, Render, etc.) for always-on automation.
