# Cadence email nurture

# 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.**

<Tip>
  **Cadence** is just the default name. On first run the agent asks what you'd like to call it —
  rename it, or keep "Cadence."
</Tip>

## 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](/guides/agent-hub).

## 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.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Link WhatsApp in Nora">
    Open the agent -> **Channels** tab -> **WhatsApp** -> **Link**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Scan the QR code">
    Complete the pairing prompt from WhatsApp. OpenClaw WhatsApp uses QR/link pairing, not a
    Phone Number ID and access-token form.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm the channel">Return when Nora shows the channel linked or connected.</Step>
</Steps>

Or use Telegram, Slack, Discord, or another OpenClaw channel from the catalog — see [Configure channels](/guides/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:

  <Card title="SendGrid" href="/guides/integrations/sendgrid" icon="paper-plane" arrow>
    Programmatic delivery.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Email" href="/guides/integrations/email" icon="envelope" arrow>
    Send from your address.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Notion" href="/guides/integrations/notion" icon="book" arrow>
    Store sequence drafts.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

<Note>
  Mailchimp/ConvertKit/Klaviyo aren't Nora integrations yet — Cadence formats copy you can paste
  into any of them.
</Note>

## 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

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Cadence says a platform isn't connected, but I added it">
    Cadence reads `integrations/NORA_INTEGRATIONS.md`, regenerated on sync. Re-check the
    **Integrations** tab.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Copy doesn't sound like us">
    Paste an email you've sent that sounds right — Cadence calibrates from it.
