ElevenLabs

Access ElevenLabs via the ElevenLabs API with managed API key authentication. Manage voices, speech assets, audio projects, and voice workflow tasks from chat.

This skill uses ClawLink for hosted connection flows and credentials so you do not need to configure ElevenLabs API access yourself.

Install

Install the verified ClawLink plugin from ClawHub. After the user confirms, complete the full setup so ClawLink tools are visible in the next OpenClaw chat.

openclaw plugins install clawhub:clawlink-plugin
openclaw config set tools.alsoAllow '["clawlink-plugin"]' --strict-json
openclaw gateway restart

Then tell the user: "OpenClaw has been restarted. Send /new as a standalone message to start a fresh chat, then ask for ElevenLabs again."

Quick Start

# List integrations
clawlink_list_integrations

# List ElevenLabs tools
clawlink_list_tools --integration elevenlabs

# Search for a specific tool
clawlink_search_tools --query "voice" --integration elevenlabs

Authentication

All ElevenLabs tool calls are authenticated automatically by ClawLink using the user's connected ElevenLabs API credentials.

No API key is required in chat. ClawLink stores the API key securely and injects it into every ElevenLabs API request on the user's behalf.

Getting Connected

1. Install the ClawLink plugin (see Install above).
2. Pair the plugin with clawlink_begin_pairing if it is not configured yet.
3. Open https://claw-link.dev/dashboard?add=elevenlabs and connect ElevenLabs.
4. Call clawlink_list_integrations to verify the connection is active.

Connection Management

List Connections

clawlink_list_integrations

Response: Returns all connected integrations. Look for elevenlabs in the list.

Verify Connection

clawlink_list_tools --integration elevenlabs

Response: Returns the live tool catalog for ElevenLabs.

Reconnect

If ElevenLabs tools are missing or the connection shows an error:

1. Direct the user to https://claw-link.dev/dashboard?add=elevenlabs
2. After they confirm, call clawlink_list_integrations to verify
3. Then call clawlink_list_tools --integration elevenlabs

Discovery Workflow

1. Call clawlink_list_integrations to confirm ElevenLabs is connected.
2. Call clawlink_list_tools --integration elevenlabs to see the live catalog.
3. Treat the returned list as the source of truth. Do not guess or assume what tools exist.
4. If the user describes a capability but the exact tool is unclear, call clawlink_search_tools with a short query and integration elevenlabs.
5. If no ElevenLabs tools appear, direct the user to https://claw-link.dev/dashboard?add=elevenlabs.

Execution Workflow

┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│  READ OPERATIONS (Safe)                                     │
│  list → get → search → describe → call                      │
│                                                             │
│  Example: List voices → Get details → Show results         │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
                               │
                               ▼
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│  WRITE OPERATIONS (Require Confirmation)                    │
│  list → get → describe → preview → confirm → call           │
│                                                             │
│  Example: Describe tool → Preview changes → User approves   │
│           → Execute update                                  │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

1. For unfamiliar tools, ambiguous requests, or any write action, call clawlink_describe_tool first.
2. Use the returned guidance, schema, whenToUse, askBefore, safeDefaults, examples, and followups to shape the call.
3. Prefer read, list, search, and get operations before writes when that reduces ambiguity.
4. For writes or anything marked as requiring confirmation, call clawlink_preview_tool first.
5. Execute with clawlink_call_tool. Pass confirmation only after the preview matches the user's intent.
6. If the tool call fails, report the real error. Do not invent results or restate the failure as a missing capability unless the live catalog supports that conclusion.

    "text": "Hello, this is a test of the ElevenLabs text to speech system.",
    "voice_id": "YOUR_VOICE_ID"

Security & Permissions

• Access is scoped to the connected ElevenLabs account's voices, projects, and agents.
• All write operations require explicit user confirmation. Before executing any create, update, or delete call, confirm the target resource and intended effect with the user.
• Destructive actions (deleting voices, agents, projects) are marked as high-impact and must be confirmed.
• ConvAI agent configurations may include sensitive business logic; confirm before modifications.
• Some features (dubbing, high-quality voices) may require premium subscription tiers.

Notes

• Voice cloning requires clear audio samples without background noise.
• Audio generation may take time for longer texts; consider async patterns for large outputs.
• ConvAI agents require configuration of prompt, voice, and potentially knowledge base.
• Some API features are tier-dependent (free vs. paid plans).

Error Handling

Status / Error	Meaning
Tool not found	The tool name does not exist in the current catalog. Verify with clawlink_list_tools --integration elevenlabs.
Missing connection	ElevenLabs is not connected. Direct the user to https://claw-link.dev/dashboard?add=elevenlabs.
Voice not found	The voice ID does not exist or is not accessible.
Invalid API key	The ElevenLabs API key is invalid. Reconnect the integration.
Conversion pending	Audio conversion is still processing. Poll for completion.
Write rejected	User did not confirm a write action. Always confirm before executing writes.

Troubleshooting: Tools Not Visible

1. Check that the ClawLink plugin is installed:

   openclaw plugins list
   

2. If the plugin is installed but tools are missing, tell the user to send /new as a standalone message to reload the catalog.
3. If a fresh chat does not help, run:

   openclaw config set tools.alsoAllow '["clawlink-plugin"]' --strict-json
   openclaw gateway restart
   

4. After restart, tell the user to send /new again and retry.

Troubleshooting: Invalid Tool Call

1. Ensure the integration slug is exactly elevenlabs.
2. Use clawlink_describe_tool to verify parameter names and types before calling.
3. For write operations, always call clawlink_preview_tool first.
