How to Connect Google Drive, Gmail, and Google Calendar to MorningAI Agents

Connect Gmail, Google Drive, and Google Calendar to MorningAI so agents can search your inbox, read your files, and manage your schedule — with drafts-only email and no deletes, ever.

Connect Gmail, Google Drive, and Google Calendar to MorningAI and the agent can search your inbox, read your files, and work your schedule inside one conversation — "find the thread, draft the reply, put a hold on my calendar, and prep a one-pager" becomes a single message.

These are personal connectors: your account, your connection, and it follows you across every brand you work in. Teammates connect their own accounts — nobody else's agent touches your inbox.

Set It Up

  1. Open Customize → Connectors. Your personal connectors appear under My connectors.
  2. Connect your Google account and complete the authorization for the requested scopes.
  3. Return to a conversation and ask for something real: "Find the threads waiting on a reply from me and draft responses for the two most urgent."
  4. When the agent wants to write — a draft, an event — an approval card pauses the turn so you can review the exact action before it runs.

Exactly What the Agent Can Do

Gmail — "Read and draft emails from your inbox."

ToolWhat it does
Search emailsFind messages by sender, subject, date, or keywords
Read a message / Read a threadRead a single email or a full conversation
Read an attachmentExtract the content of an email attachment
Find unanswered threadsList conversations awaiting your reply
Create a draft (approval)Write a draft reply or new email — never sends

The hard limit is the headline: the agent can only create drafts. There is no send, delete, archive, or label capability at all — sending is always a human action in Gmail.

Google Drive — "Search and read your Drive files."

ToolWhat it does
Search filesFind files by name, type, folder, owner, or date
Read file contentExtract the text of a file you select
Get file detailsFetch a file's type, size, owner, and last-modified date
Create a file (approval)Save text as a new file in your Drive

The agent never edits or deletes existing Drive files — the only write is creating a new one.

Google Calendar — "Check your schedule and manage events."

ToolWhat it does
List calendars / List eventsSee your calendars and events in a date range
Get event detailsRead a single event's details
Suggest a timeCheck availability and propose meeting times
Create an event (approval)Add a new event to your calendar
Update an event (approval)Change an existing event
Respond to an invite (approval)RSVP to an event on your behalf

No delete capability exists. One heads-up: if an approved event includes guests, those invitees receive the normal calendar email — standard calendar behavior, visible in the parameters before you approve.

Pro Tips

  • Include names, dates, or file titles in your prompt so the agent resolves the right content on the first pass.
  • Combine sources in one ask — "prep a one-pager from our last email thread with them" reads Gmail and generates the document in the same turn.
  • Tune the asking. Every tool above can be set to Always allow, Needs approval, or Blocked — see the permissions and approvals reference.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the agent send an email if I approve it? No. Sending isn't a permission — the capability doesn't exist. Drafts land in your Gmail for you to review and send.

Do my teammates get access to my Google account? No. Personal connectors are per-user. Your connection and your permission settings follow you across brands; teammates connect their own.
