Run Instagram DM outreach with Hermes Agent

Yes — Hermes Agent can build, launch and manage your Instagram DM 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 Instagram DM outreach

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. Instagram DM campaigns via Hermes Agent fit a config-driven setup: with the WarmySender block loaded, ask Hermes Agent to build the follow → like → DM sequence, enroll the handles, and report follow-backs. The account’s daily and hourly budget applies exactly as in the app.

What Hermes Agent can and cannot do with Instagram DM outreach

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 Instagram DM outreach
CanCreate a DM campaign and choose the account and the steps — follow, view, like, comment, then message.
CanStart, pause and resume a campaign, and enroll people from your lists or by handle.
CanReport on how a campaign is doing and why an account is quiet today.
CannotSend a DM, follow, like or comment itself — WarmySender’s scheduler paces every action inside each account’s strict daily and hourly caps.
CannotRaise the daily or hourly ceiling, shorten a new account’s ramp, or fire actions in a burst.
CannotConnect or disconnect an Instagram account — that stays in the app and needs an Instagram seat.
CannotRead or reply to DMs — that happens in WarmySender’s inbox, with you.
CannotWrite a DM or comment longer than Instagram itself allows.

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 an Instagram campaign on my brand account: follow, like their latest post, then DM two days later, and enroll these 30 handles."
  3. Check back whenever you like. In Hermes Agent’s chat, ask: "Why did my Instagram account do nothing this afternoon?"
  4. The scheduler does the sending. Hermes Agent has only written the plan. WarmySender’s scheduler paces every follow, like, comment and DM 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 Instagram DM 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 Instagram DM 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 Instagram DM outreach limits?

No. Nothing an agent can call moves a limit — not the combined daily and hourly action budget or a new account’s ramp. 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 Instagram account?

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 Instagram account once in WarmySender; after that Hermes Agent can use it.

How do Instagram limits behave with Hermes Agent driving?

Exactly as they do otherwise. Every follow, view, like, comment and DM draws from one combined daily and hourly budget per account, new accounts start well below the ceiling and climb over their first weeks, and actions are spaced with natural randomness — never bursted. A heavier sequence uses more of the day’s budget per person and reaches fewer people. For more reach, connect another account; nothing an agent can call raises the ceiling.

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.
