Google Workspace

RelayHub connects to Google Workspace. In chat, you can read email, write email drafts, manage calendar events, create spreadsheets, edit documents and more. You describe what you need in plain language, and the AI does the work.

​

Connect Google Workspace

You connect your own Google account on the Connections page of your settings. Each user connects his or her own account. After the connection, the Google section shows Connected. The services that you approved are available in all your chats.

​

Other connections on the same page

The Connections page also has these sections. Each one has its own Connect button:

• Microsoft: OneDrive for files and Outlook mail for emails that you review and send from chat. See Microsoft OneDrive.
• Apps: your other apps, Dropbox among them. Click Add an app, search for Dropbox and click Connect. The sign-in opens in a small window that closes by itself when you finish. With Dropbox connected, Import from Dropbox in a workspace imports a folder. The import only reads the folder.
• Adobe Lightroom: Lightroom Cloud searches and gets images from your catalog.

​

Gmail

• Triage your inbox: “Show me my unread emails” or “What emails came in today from my boss?”
• Read email: “Read the latest email from accounting”
• Write email: “Write an email to sarah@example.com about the meeting tomorrow”
• Search: “Find all emails from last week about the budget proposal”
• Manage labels: “Star that email” or “Archive the newsletter”

​

Read an email

When you ask to see one email (“Read me my most recent email”, “Open the email from accounting”), the email shows as a card in the chat, under one short line from the AI. The AI does not repeat the sender, the subject or the date, because the card shows them. A bot shows the same card in its chat.

• The rows at the top show From, To, Cc (when the email has one), Subject and Date. The date is in your own time zone, for example “Thursday, October 15th, 2026, 2:35 PM”. An Unread label shows when the email is unread in Gmail.
• The body is the text of the email, with its own paragraphs and line breaks. A long email shows about 20 lines. Click Show the whole email to read the rest.
• Text that the email hides is not shown, the same as in Gmail. An example is the preview line that a store or a newsletter puts at the top for the inbox list.
• Images in the email are not loaded, so the sender cannot see that you opened it. The card says how many images are not shown. To see them, click Open in Gmail.
• A long link shows only its website name, for example “admin.shopify.com”. Point to the link to see the full address. A link opens in a new tab.
• Attachments show with their name and size.
• Click Reply to open an email card that answers the sender, with “Re:” in front of the subject. Write your reply and click Send. Only you send it. If you click Reply again on the same email, the same reply card opens.
• Click Open in Gmail to open the email in Gmail.

Only you see the card of your own email. The card shows when the answer of the AI is complete; while the AI writes, the chat shows no card. Other people in a shared chat do not see your email. In place of the card they see the line “[An email from another member’s mailbox. Only that member can read it.]”. When they ask the AI about the email, the AI cannot read it for them, and a search of the chat does not find the words of an email, for you or for them. When you export the chat as a PDF, your export shows your email: its rows and its text. The export of another person shows the line in place of the card.

​

More than one Gmail account

You can connect as many Gmail accounts as you want, for example a personal address and a work address. When you have more than one account, the AI uses the account that fits the work: the account of the email that it answers, the account that you name (“from my work account”), or the account of the task. When the account is not clear, the AI shows a card with your accounts and asks you to pick one. It asks before it writes a draft, trashes or labels a message, or searches an inbox that you did not name. A reply or a forward always comes from the account that received the message. The email card shows the account in the From row, for example “work (work@example.com)”. Calendar and Drive use the account that is marked Default for Calendar and Drive. To change it, click Make default on another account.

​

Google Calendar

• See your agenda: “What’s on my calendar today?” or “Show me this week’s events”
• Create an event: “Schedule a team standup tomorrow at 9am for 30 minutes”
• Change an event: “Move my 2pm meeting to 3pm”
• Check if you are free: “Am I free Thursday afternoon?”

“Today” is the calendar day in your own time zone, from midnight to midnight. “Tomorrow” and “this week” are whole days in the same time zone. A bot uses the time zone of the bot.

​

Google Sheets

• Create a spreadsheet: “Create a Google Sheet called Q1 Budget”
• Write data: “Add a header row with Name, Amount, Date to my new sheet”
• Read data: “What’s in the Sales Report spreadsheet?”
• Add rows: “Add a new row with today’s expense data”

​

Google Docs

• Create a document: “Create a Google Doc called Meeting Notes”
• Read a document: “What does my Project Plan document say?”
• Edit a document: “Add a paragraph at the top of the document about our Q2 goals”

​

Google Slides

• Create a presentation: “Create a new presentation called Q1 Review”
• Read slides: “What’s on slide 3 of my pitch deck?”
• Add slides: “Add a blank slide to the presentation”
• Edit text: “Replace all instances of ‘2025’ with ‘2026’ in the presentation”

​

Google Drive

• Search files: “Find all PDFs in my Drive from this month”
• Create folders: “Create a folder called Reports in my Drive”
• Copy files: “Make a copy of the Budget Template spreadsheet”
• Share files: “Share the Q1 Report with alice@example.com as a viewer”
• Check access: “Who has access to the Strategy Doc?”

To bring Drive files into RelayHub, see Google Drive.

​

Confirmations

RelayHub asks for your approval before some actions: The button on a confirmation card or dialog names the action: Delete for a delete or a move to the trash, Send for a send, a reply or a forward, and Confirm for any other action. Click Cancel to stop the action. The AI tells you the button to press with the same word, for example “Press Delete on the card”. A confirmation that nobody answers expires after 10 minutes.

​

Many steps in one request

The AI can do many Google Workspace actions in one request, for example:

• “Get my calendar events for this week and create a spreadsheet summary”
• “Search my email for invoices from last month, then create a Google Sheet with the amounts”
• “Create a presentation from the data in my Budget spreadsheet”

The AI does steps that do not depend on each other at the same time, for example it reads your calendar and searches your email together. It waits for a result only when the next step needs it.

​

Add or remove services

To change the services, open Settings > Connections. In the Google section, select or clear the services, then click Update Scopes. If RelayHub needs more access for a task, the page can show Reconnect Google. Click it and approve the access again.

​

Disconnect

1. Open Settings > Connections.
2. In the Google section, click Disconnect. With more than one Google account, the button is Disconnect all. To disconnect one account only, click Remove on its row under Gmail accounts.
