## FAQ

### How do I connect Respond.io to an AI agent?

Hire an AI employee, open its Tools tab, find Respond.io, and click Connect. You authorise access through the standard Respond.io OAuth screen and the connection is live the moment you approve it. There are no API keys to paste and nothing to deploy.

### Do I have to build a workflow or write code?

No. This is not a workflow builder with triggers and branches. You tell your AI employee what you want in plain language, and it decides which Respond.io actions to run. If you want it to happen every week, say that too.

### What can an AI agent actually do inside Respond.io?

Everything Respond.io exposes to us: the full action list is on this page, read and write both. Anything Respond.io itself does not allow is listed as a limit, so you find out here rather than by failing later.

### Is there an MCP server for Respond.io?

You do not need one, the Respond.io connection is built in. If you already run your own MCP server, your AI employee can use that too, alongside the built-in connection.

### Will it work with my other tools at the same time?

Yes, and that is the point. Respond.io is one of thousands of connections, so a single request can read from one tool, act in Respond.io, and report back in your chat.

### Is it safe to give an AI agent access to Respond.io?

You connect Respond.io once at the company level and choose which employees may use it. Sensitive actions can require your approval before they run, and every action the employee takes is logged.
