Frequently asked questions
Common questions about connecting Linear to your Odella AI workforce.
Can I limit what an AI Employee does inside an integration?
Yes. Security policies let you allow or block specific actions per worker. That means you can give a junior AI Employee read-only access while a senior worker handles sends, updates, and approvals.
Is my data secure when Odella connects to external tools?
Odella uses secure OAuth and credential storage for every integration. You control which tools each AI Employee can access, and sensitive actions can require your approval before they run.
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.
How quickly can I connect Linear to an Odella AI Employee?
Most teams connect Linear in a few minutes through Odella's native integration flow. Choose the AI Employee who needs access, authenticate securely, and define which actions they can perform.
