# How to connect Emailable to Hermes Agent (paste one key, 5 tools) > Connect Emailable to Hermes with ClawLink: paste your Emailable key once and 5 tools work from chat. No MCP server to run, nothing stored on your machine. Web version: https://claw-link.dev/hermes/emailable Most guides for giving Hermes Agent Emailable 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 Emailable setup: pair once in the browser and your always-on Hermes agent can act on Emailable 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 Emailable. 1. **Install ClawLink** — add the plugin to Hermes Agent once. 2. **Connect Emailable** — 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 emailable # connect Emailable (browser OAuth) npx -y @useclawlink/cli actions emailable # list available actions npx -y @useclawlink/cli run emailable --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 Emailable in the [ClawLink dashboard](https://claw-link.dev/dashboard) — paste your Emailable API key once. Verify the connection by asking Hermes: > Pull the relevant data from Emailable, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. ### 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 Emailable is connected in the dashboard, that agent calls the same 5 Emailable tools over MCP.

ClawLink connects Emailable to Hermes Agent and exposes 5 Emailable 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 Emailable integration](https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/emailable) works the same way. ## What the Hermes Agent Emailable integration can do 5 Emailable tools are ready for Hermes Agent once the account is connected. ### All 5 Emailable tools for Hermes | Tool | What it does | |---|---| | **Get account info** `emailable_get_account_info` | Retrieve account information including owner email and available credits | | **Get batch status** `emailable_get_batch_status` | Get the status and results of a batch verification job | | **O auth authorize** `emailable_o_auth_authorize` | Build an OAuth 2.0 authorization URL for the Emailable authorization code flow | | **Verify email** `emailable_verify_email` | Verify a single email address and return detailed results | | **Verify batch emails** `emailable_verify_batch_emails` | Submit a batch of email addresses for asynchronous verification | ## Example prompts **Get Account Info** > Pull the relevant data from Emailable, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. **Get Batch Status** > Pull the relevant data from Emailable, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. **O Auth Authorize** > Use Emailable to o auth authorize and walk me through the result in plain English. **Verify Email** > Use Emailable to verify email 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 Emailable working from chat. | | Manual | ClawLink | |---|---|---| | **Credential handling** | Collect, validate, store, and rotate the Emailable API key yourself, then make sure every tool call uses the right account. | Users complete the hosted ClawLink setup once and the connected Emailable 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 Emailable. | 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 Emailable actions to the runtime in a format your agent can reliably use. | 5 tools for Emailable are already exposed through ClawLink, so the agent can read and act from chat immediately. | ## ClawLink vs. Composio Composio also exposes Emailable 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 Emailable in the browser, and the 5 tools above work from chat. There is no SDK and no config file, and the Emailable 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 Emailable 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 Emailable tools Emailable 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 Emailable 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. ### Emailable 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 Emailable 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 Emailable integration? Yes. ClawLink is the fastest way to connect Hermes to Emailable: link your Emailable account once in the browser and Hermes Agent can call the Emailable API through 5 ready-made tools — no custom code or token handling. ### How do I connect Emailable 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 Emailable in the dashboard and Hermes can use it from the next message — no config files, and the Emailable key you paste is stored server-side instead of in your environment. ### How long does it take to connect Emailable to Hermes Agent? About two minutes. Sign in, click Connect next to Emailable in the dashboard, authenticate, and Hermes Agent can use it from the next chat message. ### Why use ClawLink instead of wiring Emailable 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 Emailable working from chat. ### Hermes paired but still can't use Emailable 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 - [ActiveCampaign tools](https://claw-link.dev/hermes/activecampaign) — Marketing automation, CRM, and email marketing - [Benchmark Email](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](https://claw-link.dev/hermes/mailchimp) — Create email campaigns and manage audiences
