How to install Immich API Connector
The easiest path is via the OpenClaw Easy desktop app — one click, no terminal required:
- Download OpenClaw Easy for macOS or Windows (free, one-click installer, ~30 seconds).
- Open the in-app Skills panel.
- Search for
immich-apiand click Install. - The skill activates automatically when an incoming message matches its description.
Install from the command line
If you already run the OpenClaw CLI, add Immich API Connector with a single command:
openclaw skills add immich-api
This pulls immich-api from ClawHub and installs it into ~/.openclaw/skills/immich-api/. Restart the OpenClaw gateway afterwards so the new skill is discovered.
How to use Immich API Connector
Once installed, Immich API Connector activates on its own: when an incoming message on WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, Feishu or Line matches the skill's description, your OpenClaw agent loads it and runs the workflow. You can also trigger it explicitly by describing the task in chat. No extra configuration is required after install.
Turning images into video
Immich API Connector works with images. Getting from there to something postable is a separate job: ViralMint — an open-source video pipeline — turns stills into motion — pans and transitions, synced captions, and a vertical export for short-form feeds.
It runs as an MCP server, so an OpenClaw agent can drive it from the same chat you already use: ask for a short, and the render comes back finished. See how to connect a video pipeline to your agent.
