Podio
Add Podio to your product for your customers, and give your AI agents governed access to it.
Embed a Podio integration so your customers can work their workspaces, apps, and items from inside your product, with governed agent access to the same records. Every Podio app has a different field structure, so mapping is configuration per customer rather than code, and an unusual app does not require a release from you.
In your product
Embedded for your customers. Per-tenant auth, no per-customer code, maintained by fastn.
Let customers read items from their own apps into your product, mapped to their fields.
Create or update items from your product so users do not switch tools.
Read app structures at runtime so your product adapts to each workspace.
Trigger your product when an item is created, updated, or commented on.
For your AI agents
Governed, audited access for the agents you build, through the MCP server.
An agent reads items from an app before answering a question.
An agent creates or updates an item within governed permissions.
An agent reacts to an item change and runs the next workflow step.
Example prompt
Find items in the intake app with no owner assigned and created more than three days ago.
Set up Podio in 4 steps
- 01Open the Podio connector from your fastn dashboard.
- 02Have each customer authenticate their Podio account and select workspaces.
- 03Map the apps and fields your product uses, then enable actions and triggers.
- 04Call them from your product, or expose them to an agent through the MCP server.
Why teams use the Podio integration
What you get by embedding it with fastn instead of building it yourself.
- Ship a Podio integration without building it. Your customers connect their own Podio account inside your product and work their work items, assignees and due dates there, with no per-customer code on your side.
- Handle the part that actually costs time: every team configures its own fields, statuses and workflow stages. fastn owns the auth, token refresh, rate limits, pagination and breaking-change fixes, so a Podio update is not your on-call problem.
- One integration serves your product and your agents. The same governed Podio connection powers in-product features and gives AI agents scoped, audited access, so you keep work items in step with what happens in your product without wiring it twice.

Podio integration FAQ
How do I add a Podio integration to my product?
Enable the Podio connector in your fastn dashboard, then let each customer authenticate their own Podio account. fastn handles the OAuth flow, token storage and refresh per tenant, so there is no Podio client code in your app and no per-customer branch in your codebase. Setup is 4 steps.
Do my customers each connect their own Podio account?
Yes. Every connection is scoped to the individual customer, so each authorises their own Podio account and only ever sees their own work items, assignees and due dates. That per-tenant isolation is the point of an embedded integration: you support the long tail of customer setups without maintaining an integration per customer.
Can AI agents use this Podio integration?
Yes. The same connection is exposed to your agents through the fastn MCP gateway, with permissions scoped per tenant and every call audited. An agent reads items from an app before answering a question.
Who maintains the Podio integration?
fastn does. When Podio changes an endpoint, deprecates a field or alters its auth, the fix lands in the connector rather than in your backlog, and your customers' connections keep working.
Can my product create and update work in Podio automatically?
Yes. Items can be created, updated, assigned and transitioned from your product, and changes made in Podio can trigger your workflows in return.
Does it adapt to each team's own Podio setup?
Yes. However a team has configured Podio, whether that is custom fields, statuses and workflow stages or its own calendars and working hours, those are mapped per customer, so an unusual setup works without custom code from you.
What can I build with the Podio integration?
A common starting point: read items from their own apps into your product, mapped to their fields. Teams also use it for the other use cases listed above, and expose it to agents for governed reads and writes.
How much does the Podio integration cost?
It is included. Pricing is based on connected accounts, not on how many connectors you enable, so adding Podio does not change your per-connector cost. You can start free with 3 connected accounts.
