Google Docs

In one line: Connect Google Docs so your UnleashX agent can create documents, read them, and append or replace text for you.

​
1. Overview

Google Docs is Google’s word-processing service for creating and editing text documents stored in Drive. Once connected, your UnleashX agent can list drives, folders, and documents, create new documents in a folder, read a document’s content, replace matching text, append text, generate an AI image into a doc, and watch for newly created documents. Connecting Google Docs to UnleashX makes document work conversational: ask “draft a project brief in the Projects folder” or “append today’s summary to the standup doc,” and the agent creates or updates the right document automatically.

​
2. What you’ll need

1

A Google account with Docs

Any personal Google account or a Google Workspace account with Docs enabled.
2

Permission to grant access

You must be able to complete the Google sign-in and approve the requested permissions.
3

An UnleashX agent

An agent in your UnleashX workspace where you’ll add the Docs connector.
No admin access? On a managed Google Workspace account, your admin may need to allow UnleashX before authorization succeeds.

​
3. Get your credentials

Google Docs uses Google OAuth 2.0. You do not create or paste an API key. UnleashX redirects you to Google, you sign in once, and Google issues an access token to UnleashX automatically.
1

Start the connection in UnleashX

In your agent’s Data Connectors, find Google Docs and click Connect (see Section 4).
2

Sign in with Google

Choose the Google account whose documents you want to connect.
3

Review and approve the requested scopes

Click Allow to grant access and return to UnleashX.
There is no key to copy. Access is granted by your Google sign-in and can be revoked anytime at your Google Account permissions page.

6. Example usage

​
7. Permissions & data access

UnleashX can:
  • List drives, folders, and documents.
  • Create and delete documents.
  • Read document content, replace text, and append text.
  • Generate AI images for documents.
UnleashX cannot:
  • Access Gmail, Calendar, or other Google services unless connected separately.
  • Change your Google account settings or password.
  • Edit documents you don’t have access to.
To disconnect: In UnleashX, open Data Connectors → Google Docs → Disconnect, or revoke at https://myaccount.google.com/permissions. Revoking takes effect immediately. The connection authenticates each request with your Google OAuth access token (resolved from an access-token header, a google_docs_access_token header, or an Authorization: Bearer header, falling back to your UnleashX session), refreshed automatically when it expires.

8. Troubleshooting

​
9. Frequently asked questions

Does UnleashX store my documents? No. It reads and writes through Google’s API in real time to fulfill your requests. Can multiple team members connect Docs? Yes. Each person authorizes their own Google account. Can it format text, not just insert it? The tools focus on creating documents and inserting/replacing text. Rich formatting beyond that isn’t exposed by these tools.
