<h2>Introduction</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
This speed run walks you through creating an AI agent that sends cold emails for you. No coding, no servers — just pick your plan, configure SMTP once, and your agent drafts and sends emails on demand.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
To follow along, you'll need a Hostinger email account or any SMTP-ready inbox. We'll use <strong>videeo@ODOO4projects.com</strong> as the sending address.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Prerequisites</h2>
|
|
<p>Before you start, make sure you have your SMTP server credentials ready:</p>
|
|
|
|
<div class="prereq-group">
|
|
<div class="group-label">Integration — SMTP (Hostinger)</div>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><strong>SMTP Host</strong> — <code>smtp.hostinger.com</code></li>
|
|
<li><strong>SMTP Port</strong> — <code>465</code> (SSL)</li>
|
|
<li><strong>Email</strong> — <code>videeo@ODOO4projects.com</code></li>
|
|
<li><strong>Password</strong> — <code>hgeopmner</code></li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Prompt</h2>
|
|
<p>We configured two prompts on the agent's dashboard at <strong>app.derez.ai</strong>. The first connects the agent to your SMTP server using the integration settings. The second tells it who to email and what to say.</p>
|
|
|
|
<div class="prompt-box">
|
|
<strong>Prompt 1 — SMTP Integration</strong><br /><br />
|
|
Generated by the Derez Dashboard
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
<div class="prompt-box" style="margin-top:-8px">
|
|
<strong>Prompt 2 — Send Cold Email</strong><br /><br />
|
|
Write an email to my@toyota.com selling a car insurance.
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
<p>The first prompt authenticates with your SMTP server using the credentials from the dashboard integration. The second prompt drafts and sends the email — the agent handles the copy, formatting, and delivery.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Wrap Up</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
In under 10 Minutes you went from nothing to an AI agent that can research prospects, draft personalized emails, and send them through your own SMTP server. The same pattern works for any prospect list — just update the prompt with a new name and offer.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<div class="pro-tip">
|
|
<strong>Pro tip:</strong> Hermes Agent can research each prospect before writing — add web search to your agent's tools and your emails will be genuinely personalized, not templated.
