Granicus / GovDelivery

What it is

Granicus (formerly GovDelivery) is the leading digital communications platform purpose-built for government agencies. It manages subscriber lists, sends email and SMS bulletins to opted-in constituents, and provides engagement analytics. Used by thousands of federal, state, and local agencies to deliver service notifications, emergency updates, and public information campaigns.

When to use this skill

• Drafting and scheduling email or SMS bulletins to subscriber lists on a specific topic
• Sending immediate notifications for service disruptions, emergency updates, or deadline reminders
• Looking up subscriber counts, topic subscriptions, and list growth metrics
• Retrieving delivery analytics (open rates, click-through rates, bounces, unsubscribes) for a recent bulletin
• Managing topic subscriptions and public subscribe page configurations

Credentials

This skill authenticates using variables from the OpenClaw daemon env file ~/.openclaw/.env (template: .env.example). Required variables:

• GRANICUS_API_BASE_URL - agency Granicus API base URL (e.g., https://api.govdelivery.com)
• GRANICUS_API_TOKEN - bearer token issued from the Granicus admin console

Key operations

• GET /api/account/bulletins — list recent bulletins with status and send dates
• POST /api/account/bulletins — create a new email or SMS bulletin draft
• POST /api/account/bulletins/{id}/publish — publish/send a draft bulletin immediately
• POST /api/account/bulletins/{id}/schedule — schedule a bulletin for future delivery
• GET /api/account/topics — list subscriber topics with counts and category assignments
• GET /api/account/bulletins/{id}/stats — retrieve open rate, CTR, bounce, and unsubscribe counts
• GET /api/account/subscribers — look up subscriber record by email address

Notes

• Bulletins sent via the API bypass the CMS workflow approval step; agencies should implement a supervisor approval gate before calling the publish endpoint.
• SMS messages are subject to TCPA regulations and carrier delivery rate limits; confirm opt-in compliance with the agency legal counsel.
• The API uses account-scoped authentication; each Granicus account corresponds to one agency or sub-agency deployment.
• Rate limit: not publicly documented; follow exponential back-off on 429 responses and avoid bulk send loops.
