Actions

What your agents can do in Google Docs

3 actions. Each one is a tool your agents can call and a step your workflows can run.

Read 1

Look things up. Nothing changes.

  • Read a document

    Reads a document's title and the text of its body (the first tab), as the Docs body JSON cut down to text.

Write 2

Create, change or send.

  • Create a document

    Creates a blank Google Docs document with a title; any other content is ignored, so use Append text to fill it.

  • Append text

    Adds text at the end of a document's body, generally in the style of the text before it.

A person can approve first

Any write action can be set to wait for a person's approval before it runs, so an agent asks before it changes anything.

Connection

How it connects

Connect it once in the console, then give it to the agents and workflows that need it.

Sign in (OAuth)

Sign in with Google and approve access (OAuth).

Kept safe

  • Credentials are stored encrypted with your organization's own keys.
  • They are opened only by the process that makes the call, at the moment it runs, and never go into a prompt or the browser.
  • Calls go only to the tool's own servers.

How we protect your data

Ideas

Ideas to start with

Starting points made only from the actions above. Mix them with any other tool your agents can use.

  • 01

    Ask about your Google Docs data

    Ask a question in plain words. The agent can read a document in Google Docs, then answers with what it found.

  • 02

    Let an agent update Google Docs

    Have the agent create a document or append text in Google Docs as part of a larger task. Turn on approval and a person signs off on each change first.

  • 03

    Share what it finds in Slack

    Give one agent Google Docs and Slack: it can read a document in Google Docs and post a summary to a Slack channel in the same run.
