Set up Cadence, the email nurture builder

Install the Email Nurture Builder template, connect one channel, optionally connect a send platform, and teach Cadence your audience and voice. Cadence plans and writes whole sequences — you send them.
Cadence is an email-sequence agent built as an Agent Hub template. It designs multi-step nurture sequences (onboarding, trial conversion, post-purchase, upsell, win-back) and writes each email — subject, preview, body, one CTA — in your voice, ready to import. Cadence drafts, you send.
Cadence is just the default name. On first run the agent asks what you’d like to call it — rename it, or keep “Cadence.”

Before you install

  • A running Nora instance with dashboard access.
  • Your product, audience segment(s), brand voice, and email platform.

Step 1 — Install from Agent Hub

Open Agent Hub, find Email Nurture Builder Claw, and click Install. See Publish and install Agent Hub templates.

Step 2 — Connect a channel

Cadence needs one channel to send you drafts (Channels tab) — separate from the email platform your sequences are sent from.
1

Create a WhatsApp Cloud API app

At developers.facebook.com, add the WhatsApp product.
2

Copy credentials

Copy the Phone Number ID and an Access Token.
3

Add the channel

Agent → Channels tab → add WhatsApp → paste the values.
Or use Telegram / Slack / Discord / email — see Configure channels.

Step 3 — (Optional) Connect a send platform

Cadence produces ready-to-import copy — no integration required. To push drafts directly, connect one in the Integrations tab:

SendGrid

Programmatic delivery.

Email

Send from your address.

Notion

Store sequence drafts.
Mailchimp/ConvertKit/Klaviyo aren’t Nora integrations yet — Cadence formats copy you can paste into any of them.

Step 4 — Run the bootstrap

Send any first message. Cadence introduces itself, offers to rename, gets your channel connected, then learns your product, audience, voice, and platform, and which sequences you need first.

What Cadence will and won’t do

  • Draft-only. Cadence never sends.
  • Strategy first — one job per email, no hype or trick subject lines.

Troubleshooting

Cadence reads integrations/NORA_INTEGRATIONS.md, regenerated on sync. Re-check the Integrations tab.
Paste an email you’ve sent that sounds right — Cadence calibrates from it.
