One brief, a full Medium plan
Hermes breaks a goal into steps on its own: draft the stories, upload media, schedule each one and report back with what it queued for Medium.
MediumAutomate Medium with Hermes
Hand Hermes one brief and it plans the whole week: drafting Medium stories, scheduling them at the right times and reporting back when the queue is full.
Quick start
Install the CLI where Hermes executes commands, then hand over the Medium plan in plain language.
Terminal
npm install -g postqueenexport POSTQUEEN_API_KEY=your_api_key # A task for Hermes:# "Plan next week on Medium: draft five# stories, schedule them and list# what you queued"What Hermes can run on Medium
Windows that fit Medium
Tell Hermes when your readers are most active and it schedules stories into that window on Medium, day after day, without reminders.
Long-form arrives intact
Hermes hands postqueen the full draft, formatting included, and it lands on your Medium publications as complete stories, ready for readers.
Drafts until you are ready
Ask Hermes for drafts only. They sit on the postqueen calendar unscheduled, so you can edit them and pick the time yourself, and nothing reaches your readers on Medium until you do.
Three steps to a full queue
Discover Medium
Hermes calls postqueen to list your connected publications and sees what Medium supports, so drafts start from real capabilities, not guesses.
Draft with Hermes
Give it the brief. The agent writes Medium-shaped stories and proposes publish times that match when your readers are around.
Check and publish
Look over the queue on the postqueen calendar and change anything you want. postqueen publishes each post at its time, and Hermes can pull the results after.
What Medium allows
Hermes reads these limits from postqueen before it composes, so a draft that would be rejected never reaches the queue.

F.A.Q.
Frequently asked questions
How does Hermes connect Medium to postqueen?
Install the postqueen CLI where Hermes runs commands and export your API key. Every command returns JSON, so the agent can create, schedule and list Medium stories reliably.
Can Hermes schedule Medium stories at exact times?
Yes. Give it exact slots or a rule like mornings at nine and it sets publish times on the stories it creates, so your readers see them at the right moment.
Will Hermes publish to Medium on its own?
Only if you ask it to. Tell it to save drafts and nothing is scheduled: the stories wait on the calendar until you set a time. Tell it to schedule, and they go out at the times you can see, which is the setup most people move to once they trust the output.
Can one brief cover Medium and other channels too?
Yes. postqueen connects 30 channels, so Hermes can turn the same brief into Medium stories plus adapted versions for every other channel you run.
Does Hermes access cost extra on postqueen?
No. The agent uses your regular API key and plan limits: unlimited posts on every plan, and channel counts from 5 on Creator up to uncapped on Ultimate.
What formats do Medium stories support?
Stories accept a Markdown or HTML body with headings, quotes, code blocks and inline images, plus up to 5 tags. You can also publish as public, unlisted or draft, which is handy when an editor wants a final look inside Medium. postqueen converts your draft cleanly so formatting survives the trip.
When is the best time to publish on Medium?
Medium distributes stories through follower feeds, topic pages and digest emails, so consistency usually matters more than the exact hour. Pick a cadence you can sustain, schedule it, and let your Medium stats tell you which windows work for your audience. There is no universal best slot worth chasing.
