Run cold email with Hermes Agent

Yes — Hermes Agent can build, launch and manage your cold email campaigns in WarmySender, all in plain language, through the same 78-tool connection Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex, OpenClaw, and Hermes Agent share. You ask in Hermes Agent’s chat, configured from ~/.hermes/config.yaml. It never sends a message itself and can never raise a limit: it writes the campaign and hands it to WarmySender’s scheduler, which paces every email, LinkedIn, Instagram and WhatsApp action inside safe limits no matter who is driving. Connecting and disconnecting accounts stays in the app.

Why Hermes Agent for cold email

Hermes Agent is configured from a file, and you talk to it in its own chat once the WarmySender block is loaded. It connects through a short block in ~/.hermes/config.yaml; run /reload-mcp in the chat and sign in when prompted. Cold email through Hermes Agent suits people who keep their tooling in version-controlled config: add the WarmySender block to ~/.hermes/config.yaml, run /reload-mcp, sign in, and drive campaigns from the chat. Every tool on this page is then one sentence away.

What Hermes Agent can and cannot do with cold email

Every "can" below stands on a real tool in the WarmySender connection. Every "cannot" is not a setting — there is simply nothing an agent can call that does it.

Can / cannotWhat that means for cold email
CanCreate a multi-step campaign, edit it, and set the sending window and daily limits.
CanStart, pause and resume a campaign — starting only hands it to the scheduler.
CanAdd prospects one at a time or in bulk, update their details, and enroll or unenroll them.
CanWork from your saved email templates instead of writing every email from scratch.
CanRead and add to your suppression list so the wrong people are never contacted.
CanReport on every campaign and explain why nothing went out today.
CanAdd a branded tracking domain and check that it is set up correctly.
CanSet the postal address and opt-out wording used in your email footer.
CannotSend an email itself — it writes the campaign and WarmySender’s scheduler sends at your safe pace.
CannotRaise a daily cap, a warmup stage or a domain ceiling — nothing it can call moves a limit.
CannotConnect or disconnect a mailbox — credentials never pass through an agent.
CannotSwitch off the opt-out in your footer — it can change the style, never remove it.
CannotRead or reply to responses — replies stay in WarmySender’s inbox, with you.

Connect Hermes Agent to WarmySender

Hermes Agent reads a short block in its config file, reloads, and signs in — after that, every WarmySender tool is one sentence away.

Add this to ~/.hermes/config.yaml, then run /reload-mcp in the chat and sign in when prompted.

File: ~/.hermes/config.yaml

mcp_servers:
  warmysender:
    url: "https://warmysender.com/mcp"
    auth: oauth

Prefer a key? Create one under Settings › API Keys and choose exactly which permissions it carries, including read-only. With a key, the Hermes Agent route is: Add this to ~/.hermes/config.yaml, then run /reload-mcp in the chat.

Both routes reach the same workspace and stay inside the same safe limits. Every agent's steps live on the AI Agents hub.

How a session goes in Hermes Agent

  1. Open Hermes Agent. Open Hermes Agent’s chat — after /reload-mcp the WarmySender tools are loaded.
  2. Say what you want. In the Hermes Agent chat, after /reload-mcp: "Create a three-step campaign called "Agency founders" for this list, weekdays only, from my two warmed mailboxes, then start it."
  3. Check back whenever you like. In Hermes Agent’s chat, ask: "Why did the "Q4 partners" campaign send nothing yesterday?"
  4. The scheduler does the sending. Hermes Agent has only written the plan. WarmySender’s scheduler paces every email inside safe limits and the gradual ramp, and keeps going after Hermes Agent is offline.

Things to say to Hermes Agent

Safe by design — no matter who's driving

Hermes Agent never sends a message itself and can never raise a limit. Creating or launching a campaign only writes it and hands it to WarmySender's scheduler, which paces every email, LinkedIn, Instagram and WhatsApp action inside safe limits and a gradual ramp — the same protections that apply when a human clicks the buttons. Connecting and disconnecting accounts stays in the app. Account safety always wins.

Frequently asked questions

Can Hermes Agent run my cold email campaigns for me?

Yes. Connect Hermes Agent to WarmySender and ask in plain language, in Hermes Agent’s chat, configured from ~/.hermes/config.yaml — it can build, launch and manage your cold email campaigns. It never sends a message itself and can never raise a limit: it writes the campaign and hands it to WarmySender’s scheduler, which paces every email, LinkedIn, Instagram and WhatsApp action inside safe limits no matter who is driving. Connecting and disconnecting accounts stays in the app.

How do I connect Hermes Agent to WarmySender?

Hermes Agent reads a short block in its config file, reloads, and signs in — after that, every WarmySender tool is one sentence away. Add this to ~/.hermes/config.yaml, then run /reload-mcp in the chat and sign in when prompted. The block for ~/.hermes/config.yaml is: mcp_servers: warmysender: url: "https://warmysender.com/mcp" auth: oauth — the server address is https://warmysender.com/mcp. The steps are on this page under "Connect Hermes Agent", and the full install hub for every agent is at /ai-agents.

Can Hermes Agent raise my cold email limits?

No. Nothing an agent can call moves a limit — not a mailbox’s daily cap, your domain’s ceiling or the pace across the sending window. Hermes Agent can read where you are against a limit and tell you when a pause lifts; WarmySender’s scheduler decides what actually goes out.

Can Hermes Agent connect my mailbox?

No. Connecting and disconnecting accounts stays in the app on purpose — a credential should never pass through an agent or a chat log. Connect the mailbox once in WarmySender; after that Hermes Agent can use it.

What happens if Hermes Agent enrolls too many people at once?

Nothing goes out in a burst. Starting a campaign only queues it, and WarmySender’s scheduler drains that queue at your normal daily pace across your sending window, inside each mailbox’s limit and your domain’s ceiling. Pausing is one sentence and is never blocked, and everything the agent built is a normal campaign you can open, edit or delete.

Where does the WarmySender block go in Hermes Agent?

Under mcp_servers in ~/.hermes/config.yaml, exactly as shown on this page, with the address https://warmysender.com/mcp. Then run /reload-mcp in the chat and sign in when prompted — no restart needed.

I edited the config but Hermes Agent does not see WarmySender — what now?

Run /reload-mcp in the chat: Hermes Agent reads the file on reload, not on save. Then check the indentation of the block (the file is whitespace-sensitive) and that the address reads exactly https://warmysender.com/mcp.

Can Hermes Agent use an API key instead of signing in?

Yes. Create a key under Settings › API Keys and use the key form of the block on the AI Agents hub; the sign-in form on this page is the one that stores no key in the file.
