Bento

Bento (bentonow.com) email marketing: subscribers, tags, fields, events incl. $purchase, stats, draft/scheduled broadcasts and transactional email, with dry-run + human-approval gates on every send. Native Python plugin, no dependencies.

Good to know before installing

Sends real email (bento_email_send, bento_broadcast_schedule), and events, purchases and consent changes can trigger Bento Flows that email people; calls only app.bentonow.com (an operator base_url override is limited to https *.bentonow.com or loopback) with the BENTO_* keys from the profile .env; no telemetry, no self-update; T2/T3 calls go to the Hermes approval prompt, which asks no human under YOLO, approvals.mode off, or cron/single-query/unattended mode set to approve. T3 sends then still need a dry-run confirm token and hard guards, but T2 writes (events, purchases, consent, bulk upserts) need no token unless safety.tier2 is token_only; T1 writes (tags, tag/field definitions, drafts, upserts up to bulk_threshold) are never gated and still run under environment=disabled; environment=staging does not block sends, only environment=disabled blocks T2/T3.

From the plugin's catalog listing.

How to install

  1. Install it. Hermes asks for any API keys it needs (this one needs BENTO_PUBLISHABLE_KEY, BENTO_SECRET_KEY, BENTO_SITE_UUID), then asks whether to turn it on.
    hermes plugins install bento
  2. Said no? Turn it on later:
    hermes plugins enable bento
  3. Restart Hermes so it loads the plugin.

Some plugins also need a sign-in or settings: see Full setup & settings. Memory plugins ask whether to become your memory provider instead. Steps follow the official plugins guide (opens in a new tab).
