Run email warmup with Hermes Agent

Yes — Hermes Agent can set up, tune and monitor email warmup across your mailboxes 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 email warmup

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. Warmup via Hermes Agent is a good fit for a standing setup: once the config block is in place, checking mailbox health and turning warmup on for a batch is a message in the chat. It reads stats and writes settings; the ramp itself stays with WarmySender.

What Hermes Agent can and cannot do with email warmup

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 email warmup
CanTurn warmup on for a connected mailbox and choose its strategy and target volume.
CanApply the same warmup settings across a whole set of mailboxes in one instruction.
CanList your mailboxes and report on each one’s health before you scale up sending.
CanRead how each mailbox’s reputation is building and today’s warmup volume.
CanMove warmed mailboxes onto steady maintenance so warmup keeps running quietly.
CannotSend the warmup mail itself — WarmySender produces and paces it on a ramp an agent cannot reach.
CannotMake warmup finish faster or skip a stage — the ramp advances on sending days, not on request.
CannotTurn warmup on for a mailbox that is not connected.

CannotRemove the small reference tag in warmup subjects that lets you filter warmup mail out of your inbox.

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: "Turn warmup on for all twelve new mailboxes with the new-domain strategy."
  3. Check back whenever you like. In Hermes Agent’s chat, ask: "How much warmup mail did the outreach@ mailbox send today, and is it arriving?"
  4. The scheduler does the sending. Hermes Agent has only written the plan. WarmySender’s scheduler paces every warmup 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 email warmup across your mailboxes 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 set up, tune and monitor email warmup across your mailboxes. 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 email warmup limits?

No. Nothing an agent can call moves a limit — not the warmup ramp, a stage or the ceiling on a mailbox’s daily warmup volume. 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.

Can Hermes Agent make warmup finish faster?

No. Warmup rises gradually on its own schedule and the ramp advances on sending days, so a mailbox that was disconnected for a while is simply a few sending days behind. If warmup slows for one mailbox it is usually a safeguard working — WarmySender eases that mailbox back on its own — and neither you nor an agent can lift that slowdown, because the slowdown is the fix.

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.
