Frequently asked questions
Do I need a SalesBlink account?
Yes. Hermes connects to your SalesBlink account with an API key from Account → Integrations → API. You can start with the 14-day free trial.
Can Hermes send emails without asking me?
Hermes can launch a sequence when you ask it to. Turn on Outbox review in a sequence's settings and every email waits for your approval before it sends.
Can I use other AI agents too?
Yes. The same account works with ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and any MCP client. SalesBlink for AI agents
Can Hermes attach files to emails?
Yes. Through the skill, Hermes can attach up to 3 files to an email template and add or remove them later. Replies it sends from your inbox can include attachments as well, and each reply goes out from the same sender that first emailed the lead.
Is there a limit on how fast Hermes can work?
Yes. The API allows 30 GET requests, 15 POST or PATCH requests and 10 PUT or DELETE requests per minute, and contacts are added in batches of up to 500. If Hermes hits a limit, it waits at least 60 seconds before retrying. For large jobs, the skill tells it to leave about 4 seconds between requests.
Does a new sequence start sending as soon as Hermes creates it?
Not by default. Sequences created through the skill start paused unless Hermes sets them to launch. When it launches a sequence to start now, sending begins about 5 minutes later. To check emails first, ask Hermes to keep new sequences paused, or turn on Outbox review so every email waits for your approval.
Can Hermes connect a new email sender?
For Gmail and Outlook, yes, with one step from you. Hermes gets an authorization link, you open it in your browser and sign in, and the sender is added automatically. SMTP/IMAP accounts and bulk CSV uploads can't be added through the skill, so Hermes gives you a link to the Email Senders page in SalesBlink instead.
Can Hermes create a new API key?
No. API keys are created and refreshed in the SalesBlink web app under Account → Integrations → API, and Hermes can give you a sign-in link to that page. It can list your keys and delete one, but it can't delete the key it's using, and every account needs at least one key.
