# Google

> Connect Gmail and Google Docs to your automations.

Google is live today. It is the integration most customers turn on first, because
so much work already lives in mail and documents.

## Connecting Google

<Steps>
  <Step title="Link your account">
    Open **Integrations** in the dashboard and connect Google. This links your
    account and nothing more. It does not give the agent access to anything yet.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Turn on the services you want">
    Switch on each service one at a time. Google shows you a consent screen for
    each one and asks your permission before anything is granted.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## What you can turn on

| Service         | What the agent can do                                  |
| --------------- | ------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Gmail**       | Read, send, change, and delete mail                    |
| **Google Docs** | Create, read, edit, and delete documents in your Drive |

### Want another Google product?

Gmail and Docs are what we support today. Sheets, Calendar, and the rest of
Google Workspace are not connected yet.

Email **[support@rundesert.com](mailto:support@rundesert.com)** and tell us which
one you need and what you are building. Adding a Google service is a small piece
of work for us, so this is one of the faster requests to get done.

## Incoming email

Google carries one extra switch that the other services do not. **Incoming
email** pushes new messages to your workspace as they land, which turns your
inbox into a trigger.

This is separate from the Gmail service above, and you control it yourself. The
agent cannot turn it on for you.

See [Incoming email](/triggers/incoming-email) for how to set it up, and for how
to screen the mail so a busy inbox stays cheap.

## What to tell the agent

Once Google is connected, you do not hand over anything. Just describe the job.

> Every Monday, read last week's meeting notes out of my Docs and write me a
> summary of what we decided.

> When a receipt lands in my inbox, pull out the vendor and the amount and add it
> to a running Doc.

The agent asks the vault for a token when a run needs one. You never paste a
password, and the agent never keeps a copy of your credentials.
