FAQ
Q: How do I add content to an agent or a workflow?
A: This connector is real-time and does not index the data. This means that there are no pre-downloaded assets that can be selected in agents and/or workflows. Instead, what you can do if you want your workflow or agent to refer specific content, you can prompt it to look for specific files by writing e.g. "look at document "X" to..." where X is the name of your file in Google Drive.
Known limitations
File formats: The connector can only read the following file formats in your Google Drive: Google Docs, Google Sheets, Google Slides, Google Drawing, PDF, JPEG, PNG, GIF, WEBP.
Folder metadata: The connector cannot edit folder metadata (such as name or location); it can only delete folders.
Comments: The connector cannot determine which specific element (text, cell, object, etc.) a comment is attached to, it can only list comments in a file.
Version history: The connector cannot access version history, so it cannot answer questions like “What changed recently in this doc, and who made the changes?”.
