Getting Started

Get up and running with CrabCallr in 5 minutes.

Prerequisites

  • A running MoltBot instance
  • Node.js 18+ installed on your MoltBot machine
  • A CrabCallr account (sign up at app.crabcallr.com)

Step 1: Create your account

Sign up for a free CrabCallr account. You'll receive an API key that connects your MoltBot instance to our service.

Step 2: Install the plugin

Install the CrabCallr plugin in your MoltBot instance:

moltbot plugins install @wooters/crabcallr-plugin

Step 3: Configure your API key

Add your API key to your MoltBot configuration file (~/.moltbot/moltbot.json):

{
  "plugins": {
    "entries": {
      "crabcallr": {
        "enabled": true,
        "config": {
          "apiKey": "your-api-key-here"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Step 4: Restart MoltBot

Restart your MoltBot Gateway to load the plugin. Once connected, you'll see a green status indicator in your CrabCallr dashboard.

Step 5: Start talking

Open the Call page in your browser, select a voice, and click the call button. That's it!
