# How to connect eSignatures.io to Hermes Agent (paste one key, 17 tools) > Connect eSignatures.io to Hermes with ClawLink: paste your eSignatures.io key once and 17 tools work from chat. No MCP server to run, nothing stored on your machine. Web version: https://claw-link.dev/hermes/esignatures-io Most guides for giving Hermes Agent eSignatures.io 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 eSignatures.io setup: pair once in the browser and your always-on Hermes agent can act on eSignatures.io 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 eSignatures.io. 1. **Install ClawLink** — add the plugin to Hermes Agent once. 2. **Connect eSignatures.io** — 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 esignatures-io # connect eSignatures.io (browser OAuth) npx -y @useclawlink/cli actions esignatures-io # list available actions npx -y @useclawlink/cli run esignatures-io --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 eSignatures.io in the [ClawLink dashboard](https://claw-link.dev/dashboard) — paste your eSignatures.io API key once. Verify the connection by asking Hermes: > Use eSignatures.io to generate contract pdf preview 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 eSignatures.io is connected in the dashboard, that agent calls the same 17 eSignatures.io tools over MCP.

ClawLink connects eSignatures.io to Hermes Agent and exposes 17 eSignatures.io 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 eSignatures.io integration](https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/esignatures-io) works the same way. ## What the Hermes Agent eSignatures.io integration can do 17 eSignatures.io tools are ready for Hermes Agent once the account is connected. The 15 below are the ones people reach for most; your agent can call all 17. ### 15 of 17 eSignatures.io tools for Hermes | Tool | What it does | |---|---| | **Generate contract PDF preview** `esignatures_io_generate_contract_pdf_preview` | Generate a PDF preview of a contract and receive a webhook notification with a download URL | | **Get contract** `esignatures_io_get_contract` | Retrieve details of a specific contract by its ID | | **Get template** `esignatures_io_get_template` | Retrieve details of a specific template by its ID | | **List template collaborators** `esignatures_io_list_template_collaborators` | Retrieve all collaborators with editing access to a template | | **List templates** `esignatures_io_list_templates` | Retrieve a list of all templates | | **Add template collaborator** `esignatures_io_add_template_collaborator` | Grant editing access to a template with optional email invitation | | **Copy template** `esignatures_io_copy_template` | Duplicate an existing template with optional customization | | **Create contract** `esignatures_io_create_contract` | Create a new contract using a specified template and signer details | | **Create signer** `esignatures_io_create_signer` | Add a signer to an existing contract/signature request | | **Create template** `esignatures_io_create_template` | Create a new template | | **Send contract to signer** `esignatures_io_send_contract_to_signer` | Send or resend a contract signature request to a specific signer via their configured | | **Update signer** `esignatures_io_update_signer` | Update contact details of an existing signer on a contract | | **Update template** `esignatures_io_update_template` | Update an existing template's content, title, or labels | | **Remove template collaborator** `esignatures_io_remove_template_collaborator` | Revoke a collaborator's template editing permissions | | **Withdraw contract** `esignatures_io_withdraw_contract` | Withdraw a contract by its ID | ## Example prompts **Generate Contract Pdf Preview** > Use eSignatures.io to generate contract pdf preview and walk me through the result in plain English. **Get Contract** > Pull the relevant data from eSignatures.io, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. **Get Template** > Pull the relevant data from eSignatures.io, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. **List Template Collaborators** > List the relevant items in eSignatures.io, group them by priority, and recommend what Hermes should do next. ## 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 eSignatures.io working from chat. | | Manual | ClawLink | |---|---|---| | **Credential handling** | Collect, validate, store, and rotate the eSignatures.io API key yourself, then make sure every tool call uses the right account. | Users complete the hosted ClawLink setup once and the connected eSignatures.io 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 eSignatures.io. | 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 eSignatures.io actions to the runtime in a format your agent can reliably use. | 17 tools for eSignatures.io are already exposed through ClawLink, so the agent can read and act from chat immediately. | ## ClawLink vs. Composio Composio also exposes eSignatures.io 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 eSignatures.io in the browser, and the 17 tools above work from chat. There is no SDK and no config file, and the eSignatures.io key you paste at setup is stored server-side rather than kept in your environment. Choosing between them? Read the full [Composio alternatives](https://claw-link.dev/hub/composio-alternatives) comparison. ### Hermes paired but still can't use eSignatures.io 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`. ### Connection succeeds but no tools appear Reconnect eSignatures.io 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 eSignatures.io tools eSignatures.io 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 eSignatures.io 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. ### eSignatures.io 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 eSignatures.io 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 eSignatures.io integration? Yes. ClawLink is the fastest way to connect Hermes to eSignatures.io: link your eSignatures.io account once in the browser and Hermes Agent can call the eSignatures.io API through 17 ready-made tools — no custom code or token handling. ### How do I connect eSignatures.io 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 eSignatures.io in the dashboard and Hermes can use it from the next message — no config files, and the eSignatures.io key you paste is stored server-side instead of in your environment. ### How long does it take to connect eSignatures.io to Hermes Agent? About two minutes. Sign in, click Connect next to eSignatures.io in the dashboard, authenticate, and Hermes Agent can use it from the next chat message. ### Why use ClawLink instead of wiring eSignatures.io 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 eSignatures.io working from chat. ### Hermes paired but still can't use eSignatures.io 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 GitHub integration](https://claw-link.dev/hermes/github) — Manage repositories, issues, pull requests, and workflows - [Hermes PagerDuty integration](https://claw-link.dev/hermes/pagerduty) — Manage incidents, on-call schedules, and services - [Connect SafetyCulture](https://claw-link.dev/hermes/safetyculture) — SafetyCulture (formerly iAuditor) is a workplace operations platform that enables teams to conduct digital inspections, manage audits, track issues, schedule tasks, and maintain compliance through mobile and web applications.
