Setting Up SIMRelay for OpenClaw: Automated SMS OTP Integration in Seconds

OpenClaw developers know the challenge: creating multiple accounts for testing, scraping, or automation often requires SMS verification. Managing this manually with personal phones is tedious and doesn't scale. That's where SIMRelay transforms your workflow.

The Traditional Problem

Before SIMRelay, OpenClaw users faced several obstacles:

  • Using personal phone numbers for account creation
  • Manual SMS code retrieval breaking automation flows
  • Limited to one verification at a time
  • No way to share verification codes across team members
  • Constant interruptions to copy-paste OTP codes

The SIMRelay Solution: Setup in Seconds

Here's how simple it is to integrate SIMRelay with OpenClaw:

  1. Get Your API Key: Sign up at SIMRelay.com and grab your API key from the dashboard
  2. Share Developer Docs: Send your developer the SIMRelay API documentation
  3. Quick Integration: With the API key and docs, integration takes literally seconds
  4. Start Automating: Your OpenClaw instance can now handle SMS OTPs automatically

Real-World Setup Example

One of our users recently integrated SIMRelay with OpenClaw through a simple Telegram message exchange. They shared the developer documentation link and their API key, and within moments, their OpenClaw setup was receiving and processing SMS verification codes automatically.
