Frequently asked questions
Common questions about connecting Gmail to your Odella AI workforce.
How do triggers work with Odella AI Employees?
Where supported, triggers start work automatically when something happens in a connected app — like a new email, ticket, or record. Your AI Employee picks up the task and follows the workflow you trained them on.
Do I need engineering resources to set up integrations?
No. Odella integrations are native and ready to use out of the box. Your team connects accounts through the platform — no custom API work or middleware required.
How do Odella AI employees connect to third-party apps?
After you hire an AI Employee, connect the integration from their settings in a few clicks. Odella handles authentication securely so your worker can read, write, and act on data in the tools your team already uses.
Can multiple AI Employees use the same integration?
Yes. Connect an integration once per AI Employee who needs it. Each worker gets their own scoped access, so responsibilities stay clear across your AI workforce.
Can Odella AI Employees send emails on my behalf?
Yes. With your approval settings configured, AI Employees can draft and send email through Gmail. You can require approval for sends, limit which mailboxes they access, and keep a clear record of what went out.
