## Triggers

<Note>
  Triggers are not yet available for Google Docs. You can still add its tools to an agent and use them in chats or
  tasks.
</Note>

## Example use cases

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Draft a document from a chat conversation">
    After a brainstorm in chat, ask your agent to create a new Google Doc with the key ideas organized into sections —
    title, outline, and action items — and share the link in the channel.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Search and summarize a document">
    Ask your agent to find a specific doc by name, read its content, and provide a concise summary in chat — with a
    direct link to the full document.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Update a document with meeting notes">
    After a meeting, tell your agent to append the discussion summary, decisions, and next steps to an existing Google
    Doc — keeping your team's records up to date automatically.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## Troubleshooting

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="OAuth consent screen doesn't appear">
    Make sure pop-ups are not blocked in your browser. If the Google sign-in page doesn't open, try again with pop-ups
    allowed or use a different browser.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Agent can't find my document">
    Search uses document titles and content. Make sure the document is accessible to the authenticated Google account.
    Check sharing settings in Google Drive if the document belongs to someone else.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Edit operations fail">
    Confirm that the authenticated account has edit access to the document. View-only or comment-only access will block
    write operations.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Authorization expired">
    Google OAuth tokens can expire. Go to **Settings → Integrations → Google Docs**, disconnect, and reconnect to
    refresh your authorization.
  </Accordion>
