Oppy Functions - 52 Tools with Examples & Best Practices

Aug 22, 2025

📘 The Complete Guide to Oppy Functions (with Prompt Examples)

TL;DR — Oppy lets you gate powerful actions behind Admin while leaving safe, helpful actions Public for your assistant. This post lists all 52 functions by category with simple prompt examples, shows you exactly where to click to set permissions and add admins.

Quick Setup Path

Navigate to Oppies (assistant list) → select your assistant.
Scroll to Function permissions → use List view for quick edits.
Filter by category (e.g., Boards, Calendar...) or search directly.
Toggle each function to Public or Admin as needed.
Expand the list to cover all functions.
In Admin settings, add authorized emails/phones.
Save and test from non-admin access.

Best practice: Start with Admin-only, then open up Public for safe, helpful actions. This follows the least-privilege principle: grant only what’s absolutely necessary.
Oppy’s Admin settings let you secure power functions by qualifying who can use them.
What this means:
Only email addresses or phone numbers you add in Admin settings can run restricted (Admin-only) actions.
For example, if an email comes in from a whitelisted admin, Oppy can automatically kick off new contact notes—simply saying “Add a note from john@trusted.com” triggers that action; or an admin can call into Oppy and say “Log call with Jane, next steps noted,” and Oppy will update the contact record accordingly—all because Oppy checks the sender/caller against that trusted list.

Needs-Attention Workflow (Human Escalation)

When your assistant encounters sensitive or complex topics:

Set status to needs_attention
Alert admins via a private note
Hold all outgoing messages (chat, email, SMS) until a human responds

Teach prompt example:

“When a lead is qualified or a user asks about specific legal documents, then:
Set conversation status to needs_attention
Send a private note to all admins with user details and the request
Pause all outgoing responses until an admin intervenes.”
