Zalo Multi Send

SKILL.md

name: zalo-multi-send
description: Send multiple images or files in a single Zalo message using zca-js directly. Use when the user asks to send multiple photos/files to a Zalo contact or group at once, or when openclaw's built-in single-media send is not enough. Supports local file paths and URLs. Requires Zalo credentials already set up via openclaw zalouser channel.

```

## Notes

- Credentials are read from `~/.openclaw/credentials/zalouser/credentials.json` (managed by openclaw, no re-auth needed)
- ZCA_PATH is hardcoded to the openclaw-bundled zca-js. If openclaw is updated/reinstalled, the path may need updating in `scripts/send.mjs`
- Local files must be readable by the current user
- Zalo may have undocumented limits on number of attachments per message (tested up to ~10 without issues)
- Exit 0 = success, exit 1 = error
