Connecting Google Workspace
What You Can Do
Gmail
Ask the AI to work with your email:- Triage inbox: “Show me my unread emails” or “What emails came in today from my boss?”
- Read emails: “Read the latest email from accounting”
- Send emails: “Send 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”
Google Calendar
Manage your schedule through chat:- View agenda: “What’s on my calendar today?” or “Show me this week’s events”
- Create events: “Schedule a team standup tomorrow at 9am for 30 minutes”
- Quick add: “Add lunch with Bob on Friday at noon”
- Edit events: “Move my 2pm meeting to 3pm”
- Check availability: “Am I free Thursday afternoon?”
Google Sheets
Create and manage spreadsheets:- Create spreadsheets: “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?”
- Append rows: “Add a new row with today’s expense data”
- Multi-step workflows: “Pull my calendar events for March and put them in a new spreadsheet” — the AI handles each step automatically
When you ask for a “Google Sheet” or “spreadsheet in Drive”, RelayHub creates a real Google Sheets document in your Drive. If you want a downloadable Excel file instead, ask for an “Excel file” or “xlsx”.
Google Docs
Read and edit documents in Google Drive:- Create documents: “Create a Google Doc called Meeting Notes”
- Read content: “What does my Project Plan document say?”
- Edit content: “Add a paragraph at the top of the document about our Q2 goals”
Google Slides
Work with presentations:- Create presentations: “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 Management
Beyond file import, you can manage your 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 permissions: “Who has access to the Strategy Doc?”
How Confirmations Work
RelayHub uses a safety tier system for Google Workspace actions:
Non-destructive operations run automatically so multi-step workflows (like “pull calendar into a spreadsheet”) complete smoothly without interruption.
Incremental Permissions
RelayHub uses incremental OAuth authorization. You don’t need to grant access to everything upfront:- First connection: Typically grants Google Drive access
- Email request: If you ask about Gmail, RelayHub shows a Connect Gmail card — click to authorize
- Calendar request: Same pattern for Calendar access
- Sheets/Docs/Slides: Authorized when you first use them
Multi-Step Workflows
The AI can chain multiple Google Workspace operations together automatically. Examples:- “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”
