Agents navigate the organization, workspace, and app hierarchy, filter and update items, create new records from flow data, assign tasks, and post comments. [Verified](https://flowrunner.ai/integrations/verified "What does verified mean?") · 11 actions · API key · available [Podio website](https://podio.com/) · [Platform Documentation](https://developers.podio.com/) · Capability data verified 2026-07-28 1. A new client intake submission arrives from the web form 2. Get App pulls the target app's field definitions so every incoming value maps to the right field type 3. Filter Items searches the app for an existing record matching the client's email 4. A candidate match goes to the account owner, who decides whether this updates the existing record or becomes a new one 5. Create Item writes the record with fields keyed by external\_id, or Update Item refreshes the match 6. Create Task assigns the follow-up to the responsible teammate with a due date 7. Add Comment posts the intake context on the item with an @mention so the thread starts where the record lives ## What This Integration Enables Podio's promise is a business that runs on apps you designed yourself: each app is a structured database, each item a record shaped exactly the way your process works. The gap in that promise is that someone still has to type into them, and hand-fed databases rot. This connector closes the gap. FlowRunner agents navigate the organization, workspace, and app hierarchy, read app definitions so writes match your field types, filter and update items, create records from data captured anywhere in a flow, and put tasks and comments where the team will actually see them. - Map an account's structure with List Organizations, then discover the apps in any workspace - Write records with confidence: Get App exposes each field's external\_id and type before the first Create Item runs - Query items by field values for routing, reporting, and reconciliation - Turn events in other systems into items, assigned tasks, and @mention comments - Route bulk writes through [human-in-the-loop](https://flowrunner.ai/concepts/human-in-the-loop) review before they touch the system the whole team runs on ### Without FlowRunner **Custom apps, manual entry**: The team designed the perfect intake app, and it still depends on someone retyping submissions into it **Status meetings as database queries**: Finding out what is open means asking people, because nobody trusts the filters to be current **Work assigned in hallways**: Tasks get agreed verbally or in chat, disconnected from the records they are about ### With FlowRunner **Apps that fill themselves**: Agents write form submissions, orders, and events into the right app with fields mapped correctly **Standups from live data**: Agents filter open items by status and post the digest, so meetings start from the same facts **Assignments born on the record**: Tasks and comments are created against items with owners and due dates, at the moment work appears ## Use Case Scenarios ### Intake without the retyping A submission arrives from [Typeform](https://flowrunner.ai/integrations/typeform). The agent reads the target app's schema with Get App, checks for an existing record with Filter Items, and writes the item with Create Item, category fields as option IDs, dates in Podio's expected shape, text as text. Create Task assigns the follow-up to the right teammate, and Add Comment leaves the submission context on the record. The app the team designed finally gets fed without anyone copying and pasting from a form dashboard. ### The standup that starts from the database Every morning the agent runs Filter Items against the delivery app for records in an open status, sorts them by due date, and posts the digest to [Slack](https://flowrunner.ai/integrations/slack): what is blocked, what is due today, who owns what. Because the digest comes from the same items the team updates, the meeting stops being a status collection exercise and becomes a decision-making one. ### The weekly export with an audit trail On Friday afternoon, the agent gathers the week's completed items with Filter Items, appends them to a reporting sheet in [Google Sheets](https://flowrunner.ai/integrations/google-sheets), and then runs Add Comment on each exported item noting when and where it was exported. When someone asks in March whether a record made it into the Q1 report, the answer is written on the record itself. ## Human-in-Loop Highlight In most companies running Podio, the apps are not a copy of the business data. They are the business data: the custom CRM, the delivery tracker, the billing pipeline the team built for themselves. That is why bulk Update Item passes are where FlowRunner draws the line. When an agent prepares to reclassify statuses across dozens of filtered items, say, sweeping stalled records into a churn-risk category that other workflows key on, the batch stops and the operations owner sees the full diff: which items, which fields, old value to new value. Approve, and the updates run in seconds, each returning its revision. Reject, and the system of record stays untouched. A wrong bulk write here does not break one record; it silently redirects every workflow and report built on top of those fields. Agent processes routinely Detects exception requiring judgment Clear match Continues automatically Ambiguous Routes to human via preferred channel Human decides Agent resumes with decision ## Agent Capabilities 11 actions ### Structure 4 - **List Organizations** Lists all organizations the authenticated user belongs to, each with its nested workspaces. The starting point for discovering the hierarchy before listing apps or items. - **Get Workspace** Retrieves a single workspace by ID, including its name, URL, privacy setting, and parent organization. - **List Apps** Lists all apps installed in a workspace. Each app is a structured database whose items are the records agents create and filter. - **Get App** Retrieves an app's full definition, including its ordered field list with field\_id, external\_id, type, and label. The reference every write should consult before building its fields object. ### Items 4 - **Filter Items** Lists and filters items in an app using a filters object keyed by field external\_id or field\_id, with pagination and sorting. Returns total and filtered counts alongside the matching items. Podio implements this as a POST endpoint despite being a read. - **Get Item** Retrieves a single item by its numeric ID, including all field values, comment count, files, and metadata. - **Create Item** Creates a new item in an app from a fields object keyed by external\_id or field\_id, with value shapes matching each field's type. Returns the new item\_id. - **Update Item** Updates the field values of an existing item. Only the fields included are changed; the rest are left untouched. Returns the revision created by the update. ### Tasks and Comments 3 - **List Tasks** Lists tasks assigned to or created by the authenticated user, optionally filtered by completion state, with pagination. - **Create Task** Creates a standalone task with text, an optional description, a due date, and a responsible user. The action that turns an agent's finding into a person's to-do. - **Add Comment** Adds a comment to an item, with support for @mentions and embeds. Used to leave context, decisions, and audit notes exactly where the record lives. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What can FlowRunner do with Podio? FlowRunner agents can run List Organizations, Get Workspace, and List Apps in Podio, plus 8 more actions. ### Does connecting Podio to FlowRunner require OAuth? No. Podio connects to FlowRunner with an API key, no OAuth flow required. ### Can Podio trigger a FlowRunner workflow automatically? Podio doesn't currently expose triggers in FlowRunner. It connects as an action step inside workflows started by another trigger. **Work at Podio?** This integration exposes Podio to AI agents on every FlowRunner plan, including through MCP, at no cost to you.
