This guide walks you through setting up Rallied.ai from scratch. You’ll connect the three MSP-wide integrations the agent needs to work — your PSA, Microsoft 365, and your documentation platform — then add your first client and get the agent answering tickets in your PSA.
If you’re new to Rallied.ai, start in Plan Mode (step 7). The agent analyzes requests and posts internal notes about what it would do, without executing anything. You can observe its reasoning before enabling live actions.
1

Log in to the dashboard

Go to app.rallied.ai and sign in with your MSP account credentials.You’ll land on the Clients list — your home base for managing all the companies you provide IT services for.
2

Connect your PSA

The PSA is where employees submit tickets, where the agent posts its work, and where your technicians approve sensitive actions.Go to MSP Settings → Integrations and click Connect next to your PSA:
IntegrationConnection methodDocs
ConnectWise ManageAPI credentialsSetup guide
HaloPSAOAuthSetup guide
AutotaskAPI credentials
Once connected, the agent receives new tickets via webhook, posts internal notes documenting its reasoning, and routes approval requests as ticket comments.
3

Connect Microsoft 365

Microsoft 365 is the agent’s primary identity backbone. Connecting it lets the agent look up users, reset passwords, manage group membership, and handle Teams or Intune actions across every client tenant via GDAP.In MSP Settings → Integrations, click Connect on Microsoft 365 and complete the multi-tenant app registration flow with your partner tenant admin account. See the Microsoft 365 setup guide for app registration details and the GDAP role mappings.
4

Connect your documentation platform

Hook up the platform where your team stores client-specific knowledge — passwords, runbooks, procedures, asset records. The agent reads from it during diagnosis so it can answer questions the same way your senior technicians would.
IntegrationWhat the agent reads
HuduArticles, passwords, SOPs, assets
IT GlueDocuments, passwords, configurations, flexible assets
In MSP Settings → Integrations, click Connect on Hudu or IT Glue and enter your API key.
5

Create your first client

Back on the Clients list, click Create Client in the top right.Fill in:
  • Name — the company name as you want it to appear in the dashboard (e.g., “Acme Corp”)
  • Slug — a short identifier used internally (e.g., acme-corp). Lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens only.
Click Create. The agent provisions automatically — status moves from pendingprovisioningactive within a minute or two.On the new client’s Integrations tab, map it to the matching company record in your PSA, the matching Microsoft 365 tenant, and the matching documentation site. This tells the agent which records belong to this client so it can scope its tool calls correctly.
6

Review tool policies

Open the client’s Integrations tab and click into a connected integration to see every action the agent can take, along with its current policy.Review the defaults and adjust where needed:
  • Set read-only actions (like “get user” or “list articles”) to Auto so the agent runs them freely.
  • Set write actions (like “reset password” or “add user to group”) to Approval needed until you trust the agent’s judgment.
  • Set any actions you don’t want the agent to use to Disabled.
Rallied.ai pre-classifies actions by name — read-like verbs default to auto, write-like verbs default to approval_needed. You’re adjusting from a reasonable starting point, not configuring from scratch.
7

Set the agent mode

Go to the Overview tab for the client. Under Operating Mode, choose how the agent should behave:
  • Plan Mode — the agent reads, diagnoses, and posts a private internal note with its plan. It never executes actions or replies to the employee. Use this to verify the agent understands your environment correctly.
  • Execute Mode — the agent executes requests. It follows tool policies: auto-approved tools run immediately; tools marked approval_needed pause and wait for your team to approve before proceeding.
  • Inherit — the client uses whatever mode you’ve set at the MSP level.
Plan Mode is strongly recommended for initial setup. Run a few real requests through it, review the internal notes, and confirm the agent is reasoning correctly before switching to Execute Mode.
8

Test it

Wait until the client status shows active — the agent is now live and listening on your PSA.Open your PSA and create a new ticket against the test client:
“My account is locked out”
In Plan Mode, the agent posts an internal note on the ticket describing exactly what it would do: which tools it would call, in what order, and the expected outcome. No action runs.In Execute Mode, the agent works through the request — verifying the user in Microsoft 365, checking your docs platform for a relevant runbook, and either executing the unlock or requesting approval based on the policies you set.Every action the agent took or attempted appears in the client’s Activity tab.

What’s next

  • Prompt customization — add client-specific context in the Prompt tab (what apps they use, any special handling rules) for more accurate responses.
  • More integrations — connect your RMM, security tools, identity provider, and more from the integrations catalog.
  • Workflows — once the agent has handled enough tickets, use the learning pipeline to generate resolution playbooks from your historical tickets so the agent handles recurring request types more precisely over time.
