# How to connect Deadline Funnel to Hermes Agent (paste one key, 6 tools) > Connect Deadline Funnel to Hermes with ClawLink: paste your Deadline Funnel key once and 6 tools work from chat. No MCP server to run, nothing stored on your machine. Web version: https://claw-link.dev/hermes/deadline-funnel Most guides for giving Hermes Agent Deadline Funnel access start with registering your own OAuth app or pasting API keys into env files, then leave the token refresh and tool wiring to you. ClawLink gives Hermes a more practical Deadline Funnel setup: pair once in the browser and your always-on Hermes agent can act on Deadline Funnel for you, reading and doing real work on your behalf with no auth, token refresh, or tool wiring to build yourself. ## Setup It takes three steps to connect Hermes to Deadline Funnel. 1. **Install ClawLink** — add the plugin to Hermes Agent once. 2. **Connect Deadline Funnel** — one-click OAuth in the ClawLink dashboard. 3. **Use it from chat** — ask Hermes Agent in plain English. **Paste this into Hermes to set up ClawLink:** > Set up ClawLink for Hermes and tell me when it's ready. > 1. Install the plugin: `hermes plugins install ClawLink-HQ/hermes-plugin --enable` > 2. Start pairing with `hermes clawlink begin`. It prints an approval link, so show me the link and stop, don't wait. > 3. I'll approve it in my browser, then reply "approved". > 4. When I say approved, finish setup: `hermes clawlink finish` > 5. Then run `hermes clawlink test` and tell me whether ClawLink is ready. **Alternative for any agent (no plugin needed):** if the Hermes Agent plugin route isn't available or doesn't work, any AI agent with shell access can use the ClawLink CLI instead: ```bash npx -y @useclawlink/cli login # sign in via browser — no API key to paste npx -y @useclawlink/cli connect deadline-funnel # connect Deadline Funnel (browser OAuth) npx -y @useclawlink/cli actions deadline-funnel # list available actions npx -y @useclawlink/cli run deadline-funnel --input '' # execute (add --confirm for writes) ``` ### Install by command The prompt above walks Hermes through this. By hand, it is four commands and a browser approval: ```bash hermes plugins install ClawLink-HQ/hermes-plugin --enable hermes clawlink begin # prints an approval link — open it and approve hermes clawlink finish # after approving in the browser hermes clawlink test ``` Then connect Deadline Funnel in the [ClawLink dashboard](https://claw-link.dev/dashboard) — paste your Deadline Funnel API key once. Verify the connection by asking Hermes: > Use Deadline Funnel to email link redirect and walk me through the result in plain English. ### Using a different agent? The Hermes plugin is one client of ClawLink's MCP server. Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, or any agent that can run a shell command pairs with the same ClawLink account through the CLI: ```bash npx -y @useclawlink/cli login ``` `login` opens the same browser approval and stores a credential locally. Once Deadline Funnel is connected in the dashboard, that agent calls the same 6 Deadline Funnel tools over MCP.

ClawLink connects Deadline Funnel to Hermes Agent and exposes 6 Deadline Funnel tools your agent can call over [MCP](https://claw-link.dev/learn/what-is-an-mcp-server), with [hosted auth](https://claw-link.dev/learn/oauth-for-ai-agents) and nothing to run or maintain yourself. Using OpenClaw instead? The [OpenClaw Deadline Funnel integration](https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/deadline-funnel) works the same way. ## What the Hermes Agent Deadline Funnel integration can do 6 Deadline Funnel tools are ready for Hermes Agent once the account is connected. ### All 6 Deadline Funnel tools for Hermes | Tool | What it does | |---|---| | **Email link redirect** `deadline_funnel_email_link_redirect` | Redirect an email link to the correct before- or after-deadline URL for a subscriber | | **Get account ID** `deadline_funnel_get_account_id` | Retrieve the Deadline Funnel account ID | | **List campaigns** `deadline_funnel_list_campaigns` | Retrieve existing Deadline Funnel campaigns | | **Generate sales tracking webhook URL** `deadline_funnel_generate_sales_tracking_webhook_url` | Generate the sales-tracking webhook URL details | | **Start deadline custom webhook** `deadline_funnel_start_deadline_custom_webhook` | Start an individual subscriber’s deadline tracking via a custom webhook URL | | **Track sale webhook** `deadline_funnel_track_sale_webhook` | Record a sale for a subscriber in a specific campaign via the campaign-generated sales-tracking | ## Example prompts **Email Link Redirect** > Use Deadline Funnel to email link redirect and walk me through the result in plain English. **Get Account Id** > Pull the relevant data from Deadline Funnel, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. **List Campaigns** > List the relevant items in Deadline Funnel, group them by priority, and recommend what Hermes should do next. **Generate Sales Tracking Webhook Url** > Use Deadline Funnel to generate sales tracking webhook url and walk me through the result in plain English. ## ClawLink vs. building it yourself The alternative to ClawLink is usually manual API key setup plus your own token handling, permission troubleshooting, and tool plumbing for Hermes Agent. That is fine if you want to build and maintain the integration yourself. Most teams just want Deadline Funnel working from chat. | | Manual | ClawLink | |---|---|---| | **Credential handling** | Collect, validate, store, and rotate the Deadline Funnel API key yourself, then make sure every tool call uses the right account. | Users complete the hosted ClawLink setup once and the connected Deadline Funnel account becomes available to the agent without you building credential management. | | **Ongoing maintenance** | You own refresh logic, permission debugging, environment config, and every provider-specific edge case for Deadline Funnel. | ClawLink handles the repetitive integration plumbing so your team can focus on the workflow instead of the infrastructure. | | **Agent usability** | You still need to expose the right Deadline Funnel actions to the runtime in a format your agent can reliably use. | 6 tools for Deadline Funnel are already exposed through ClawLink, so the agent can read and act from chat immediately. | ## ClawLink vs. Composio Composio also exposes Deadline Funnel to AI agents. It is developer infrastructure: Python and TypeScript SDKs, an MCP server, and a catalog past 1,000 apps, aimed at teams shipping agent products. ClawLink is built for Hermes Agent users instead. You install the plugin once, connect Deadline Funnel in the browser, and the 6 tools above work from chat. There is no SDK and no config file, and the Deadline Funnel key you paste at setup is stored server-side rather than kept in your environment. Choosing between them?

If you ran finish before approving, or the approval link expired, run `hermes clawlink begin` again to get a fresh link. Confirm the plugin was installed with `--enable`, then verify with `hermes clawlink test`. ### Connection succeeds but no tools appear Reconnect Deadline Funnel from the dashboard, then start a fresh chat if the runtime still has the old tool catalog loaded. ### "Tool schema not loaded yet" error when calling Deadline Funnel tools Deadline Funnel tool schemas load on demand the first time a tool runs and are cached after that, so this error usually clears on its own: wait a few seconds and retry the same request. If every Deadline Funnel call keeps failing with it in a fresh chat, reconnect from the dashboard, and contact support if it still persists — that pattern points to a configuration problem on our side, not something you can fix by reconnecting again. ### Deadline Funnel returns 403 or "permission denied" on one action while others work Two usual causes. The connected account may not have access to the specific workspace, inbox, store, or project in the request — check that first. If access looks right, the agent may have sent a placeholder value (like "YOUR_ID" or an example id from documentation) instead of a real one: ask it to run a list or search tool first, then retry the action with a real id from those results. Most failures at this stage are one of these two, not ClawLink bugs. ### API key setup works but results look incomplete Double-check that the API key for Deadline Funnel has the right scopes or account access. A valid key can still be too limited for some reads or writes. ### Is there a Hermes Agent Deadline Funnel integration? Yes. ClawLink is the fastest way to connect Hermes to Deadline Funnel: link your Deadline Funnel account once in the browser and Hermes Agent can call the Deadline Funnel API through 6 ready-made tools — no custom code or token handling. ### How do I connect Deadline Funnel to Hermes with ClawLink? Install the plugin with `hermes plugins install ClawLink-HQ/hermes-plugin --enable`, then pair once: run `hermes clawlink begin`, approve the link in your browser, and run `hermes clawlink finish`. Connect Deadline Funnel in the dashboard and Hermes can use it from the next message — no config files, and the Deadline Funnel key you paste is stored server-side instead of in your environment. ### How long does it take to connect Deadline Funnel to Hermes Agent? About two minutes. Sign in, click Connect next to Deadline Funnel in the dashboard, authenticate, and Hermes Agent can use it from the next chat message. ### Why use ClawLink instead of wiring Deadline Funnel up myself? The alternative to ClawLink is usually manual API key setup plus your own token handling, permission troubleshooting, and tool plumbing for Hermes Agent. That is fine if you want to build and maintain the integration yourself. Most teams just want Deadline Funnel working from chat. ### Hermes paired but still can't use Deadline Funnel Pairing is a two-step handshake: run `hermes clawlink begin`, approve the link in your browser, then run `hermes clawlink finish`. If you ran finish before approving, or the approval link expired, run `hermes clawlink begin` again to get a fresh link. Confirm the plugin was installed with `--enable`, then verify with `hermes clawlink test`. ## Related - [Hermes ActiveCampaign integration](https://claw-link.dev/hermes/activecampaign) — Marketing automation, CRM, and email marketing - [Hermes Benchmark Email integration](https://claw-link.dev/hermes/benchmark-email) — Benchmark Email is a comprehensive email marketing platform offering tools for creating, sending, and analyzing email campaigns. - [Mailchimp tools](https://claw-link.dev/hermes/mailchimp) — Create email campaigns and manage audiences
