How do I set up Google Drive integration with my agent?

Setting up Google Drive integration allows your agent to access and create Google Drive documents. Here's the complete setup process:

Step 1: Enable the capability

1. Go to your agent's Settings → Capabilities page
2. Find "Google Drive" in the capabilities list
3. Click "Create connection" and continue in the popup window

Step 2: Google approval flow

1. You'll be directed to Google's authorization page
2. Sign in to your Google account if prompted
3. Important: Accept this specific scope when prompted:
   • "See, edit, create, and delete only the specific Google Drive files you use with this app"
4. Click "Allow" to grant permissions

Step 3: Verify connection

After authorization, your Google Drive capability should show:

• Status: Connected
• Your connected token information
• Token owner details

Step 4: Start using Google Drive

Once connected, your agent can:

• Create documents: Ask your agent to create new Google Drive documents
• Access shared files: Add existing files using the document picker under "Docs"
• File management: Work with files you've explicitly shared with the agent

Important notes

• No service account needed: You should not need to use a service account for this integration
• Personal access only: The integration uses your personal Google account
• Selective access: The agent only has access to files you explicitly share or that it creates

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues during setup:

1. Clear browser cache: Try clearing your browser cache and cookies
2. Different browser: Test the setup process in a different browser or incognito mode
3. Check permissions: Ensure you're using a Google account with appropriate permissions
4. Contact support: If you get stuck at any step, email support@abundly.ai with:
   • Which step you're stuck on
   • Screenshots of any error messages
   • Description of what you expected vs. what happened

What the agent can do once connected

• Create new Google Drive documents
• Read and edit documents you've shared
• Generate reports and save them to Drive
• Access files through the document picker interface
