Set up Scout, the lead-outreach drafter

Install the Lead Outreach Drafter template, connect one channel, optionally connect a source/CRM, and teach Scout your offer and voice. Scout judges fit and drafts personalized outreach — you send it.
Scout is an outreach-drafting agent built as an Agent Hub template. It assesses whether a prospect is a real fit, then writes a personalized first-touch message and a short follow-up sequence in your voice. Scout drafts, you send.
Scout is just the default name. On first run the agent asks what you’d like to call it — rename it, or keep “Scout.”

Before you install

  • A running Nora instance with dashboard access.
  • Your offer, ideal customer profile, and (ideally) one or two example messages to calibrate voice.

Step 1 — Install from Agent Hub

Open Agent Hub, find Lead Outreach Drafter Claw, and click Install. See Publish and install Agent Hub templates.

Step 2 — Connect a channel

Scout needs one channel to send you drafts (Channels tab). This is separate from the outreach channels (email/LinkedIn/DM) you send prospects through.
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 source or CRM

Scout drafts fine from pasted prospect info — no integration required. To pull or store directly, connect one in the Integrations tab:

LinkedIn

Pull prospect context.

Email

Send approved drafts from your address.

HubSpot

Store outreach against CRM records.

Salesforce

Store outreach against CRM records.

Step 4 — Run the bootstrap

Send any first message. Scout introduces itself, offers to rename, gets your channel connected, then learns your offer, ICP, outreach channels, tone, and voice (paste a sample or two).

What Scout will and won’t do

  • Draft-only. Scout never sends on its own.
  • Rejects weak fits rather than writing low-signal outreach.

Troubleshooting

Scout reads integrations/NORA_INTEGRATIONS.md, regenerated on sync. Re-check the Integrations tab.
Paste a couple of real outreach messages you’ve sent — Scout calibrates voice from examples.
