Frequently asked questions
Common questions about connecting Outlook 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.
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.
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.
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.
How quickly can I connect Outlook to an Odella AI Employee?
Most teams connect Outlook 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.
