Actions
What your agents can do in Google Drive
4 actions. Each one is a tool your agents can call and a step your workflows can run.
Read 2
Look things up. Nothing changes.
Search files
Lists files and folders the person can see, in My Drive and shared drives, that match a Drive query, such as name contains 'budget' and trashed = false.
Get file details
Reads one file's or folder's details by its ID: name, type, size, dates, its folder, owners, whether it is shared or in the trash, and its web address.
Write 2
Create, change or send.
Create a folder
Creates a folder, inside a parent folder when parent_id is given, otherwise at the top of My Drive.
Share a file
Gives a person, a group, everyone in a domain, or anyone with the link access to a file or folder, as reader, commenter or writer.
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 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.
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 Drive data
Ask a question in plain words. The agent can search files or get file details in Google Drive, then answers with what it found.
- 02
Let an agent update Google Drive
Have the agent create a folder or share a file in Google Drive 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 Drive and Slack: it can search files in Google Drive and post a summary to a Slack channel in the same run.
