“Give me my daily briefing: today’s calendar, unread emails from my team, and any urgent items”
Meeting Preparation
“Find all emails about the Q4 planning meeting and summarize the key discussion points”
Email Cleanup
“Show me emails older than 30 days from newsletters and promotional senders”
Follow-Up Tracking
“Which emails am I waiting for responses on? Show me emails I sent that haven’t been replied to”
The same capabilities shown with Gmail work identically with Outlook, or any other email and calendar provider that has an MCP server available. Just connect the corresponding MCP instead!
“Give me an operations overview: pending orders, low stock items, and overdue invoices”
Customer Service
“Find the order history and open support tickets for customer TechCorp”
Sales Reports
“Compare our sales performance: this month vs. last month, broken down by product category”
Procurement
“Which products do I need to reorder? Show me everything below minimum stock level and create purchase orders”
Odoo has many modules (CRM, Sales, Inventory, Accounting, HR, Manufacturing, etc.). The MCP connection works with all installed modules in your Odoo instance.
Multi-Tool: Connecting Gmail and Odoo for a Unified Overview
See a real-world example of how WonkaChat connects to both Gmail and Odoo to provide a unified view of your Odoo contacts, triggered from your email context.
Connect Gmail and Odoo with WonkaChat to instantly see who you need to contact.
WonkaChat pulls your contacts from your CRM (e.g. Odoo) and creates a ready-to-send draft in your mailing system (e.g. Gmail) with all the details.
Effortlessly bridge information between systems and take action in a single step.

The real power of MCP comes from combining multiple business systems:
Research to Documentation
Business Systems: Google Drive + Notion“Search my Google Drive for market research files, summarize the findings, and create a summary page in Notion”
Issue to Communication
Business Systems: GitHub + Slack“Find critical issues in the main repo and post a summary to #engineering channel on Slack”
Sales Pipeline to Email
Business Systems: Salesforce + Outlook“Show me opportunities closing this week and draft follow-up emails for each contact”
Task Sync
Business Systems: Jira + ClickUp“Find completed tasks in Jira this week and summarize them for my weekly update in ClickUp”
Meeting Preparation
Business Systems: Outlook + Google Drive + Notion“Get tomorrow’s meeting agenda from Outlook, find related documents in Drive, and create a prep page in Notion”
Customer Intelligence
Business Systems: Salesforce + Outlook + Slack“Gather all information about Acme Corp: Salesforce account, recent emails, and Slack mentions”
Verify permissions: Try read operations before write operations
Explore capabilities: Ask “What can you do with [business system]?”
Gradually increase complexity: Start simple, then combine operations
Don’t worry about getting the query perfect. Just describe what you want in natural language and the AI will figure out the right business system operations.
Be Specific When Needed
While AI handles natural language well, specific details improve results:Less Specific:
Copy
"Show me emails"
Result: May return too many results or default to todayMore Specific:
Copy
"Show me unread emails from my manager this week"
Result: Precisely filtered resultsEven More Specific:
Copy
"Find emails from [email protected] with 'budget' in subject, received in the last 30 days"
Result: Exactly what you need
Use Time Constraints
Adding time boundaries improves performance and relevance:
“today” / “this week” / “this month”
“in the last 7 days”
“between January 1 and January 31”
“after March 15th”
“before the end of Q2”
Example:
Copy
"Show me Slack messages in #engineering from yesterday"
Much faster than querying all messages ever sent.
Leverage Multi-Step Requests
You can ask AI to perform multiple operations in sequence:
Copy
"Check my calendar for availability tomorrow afternoon, then email those times to [email protected]"
AI will:
Connect to calendar MCP
Find available slots
Connect to email MCP
Draft and send email
No need to break it into separate queries!
Review Before Action
For operations that modify data (send, create, update, delete):
Ask the AI to show you a preview before any changes are made
Review the proposed action thoroughly before approving it
Request modifications as needed: “Make the email more formal”
Always verify recipient addresses and all critical information
Direct the AI when you want to pause: “Don’t send this yet, just show me the draft”
To enhance safety, we provide a Safe Mode that keeps you in control whenever agents or AI models perform actions. When Safe Mode is enabled, you must explicitly approve or reject all modifications before they take effect. Learn more in the Safe Mode: Human-in-the-Loop section.
Some actions—such as sending emails or creating orders—may be irreversible. Always double-check your intent before confirming the AI to proceed.
