sendblue-cli

separate

Send iMessage and SMS from the shell via the @sendblue/cli npm package — outbound sends, contact management, and account setup with no API client or webhook server required.

When to use

• Use when the user wants to text a phone number from a script, shell, hook, or agent turn (e.g. "text me when X finishes", "ping my phone", "notify on completion").
• Use when the user mentions `sendblue` as a CLI/binary or asks to set up the `@sendblue/cli` package.
• Prefer this skill over [[sendblue-api]] when the work happens in a shell context, one-shot script, cron job, or agent hook.
• Reach for [[sendblue-api]] instead when writing application code that integrates Sendblue, receiving inbound webhooks, or needing features the CLI does not expose (send styles, reactions, group messages, status callbacks, media uploads).

When not to use

• Outbound-first: there is no built-in webhook server for inbound. Use [[sendblue-api]] webhooks for full inbound handling.
• The CLI does not expose send styles/effects, reactions, group messages, status callbacks, media uploads, or the contacts API beyond basic CRUD. Reach for the HTTP API for those.
• Free-plan accounts require recipient verification before outbound sends succeed.
