FAQ

How the leave task behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI approve my leave?

    No. The AI only submits the request. Your manager must approve it within Odoo.

  • 02

    Does the AI delete my old leave records?

    No. The tools only allow for listing types, listing existing leaves, and creating new ones.

  • 03

    Can I change a request after it's submitted?

    No. The current tools only support creating new requests, not modifying existing ones.

  • 04

    How does the AI know which leave type to use?

    The agent uses the list of available types from Odoo to match your request to a valid category.

  • 05

    Do I need to stay in the chat to finish the request?

    No. Once the agent confirms the submission, the record is already in Odoo.
