Google Workspace

Connect Google Workspace to Kasimir and use it across chat, knowledge sources, assistants, and workflows.

The Google Workspace integration brings your Google content straight into Kasimir: search and read files in Google Drive, manage events in Google Calendar, populate spreadsheets in Google Sheets, create documents and presentations, and maintain to-dos in Google Tasks. You connect your account once via OAuth (Google's consent screen); from then on Kasimir can act on your behalf across chat, assistants, and workflows. Kasimir deliberately requests only the permissions each service needs (least privilege), and you can disconnect any connection at any time.

What the integration covers

Kasimir splits Google Workspace into six separately connectable integrations. They all use the same Google OAuth app but are connected individually — so you only grant the services you actually need.

Integration	What you can do
`Google Drive`	Search, read, upload/download and move files; create folders
`Google Calendar`	List, look up, create, update and delete events
`Google Sheets`	Read ranges, append rows, update/clear ranges, create new spreadsheets
`Google Docs`	Create and read documents, append text
`Google Slides`	Create presentations from an outline
`Google Tasks`	List, create, complete and delete tasks

ℹ️

Gmail is not currently part of the integration. Google classifies mailbox access as a "restricted scope" that requires a separate security assessment (CASA). For email context, the Outlook Mail integration from Microsoft 365 is available instead.

Requirements

An active Google account (personal or your organization's Google Workspace).
The integration must not have been disabled for your company by an administrator. If it has, the card shows Disabled by admin.

Connecting Google

You connect Google in Settings under the Connections tab.

Open Integrations at the top, or the Connections tab in Settings.
Find the card you want, e.g. Google Drive or Google Calendar.
Click Connect. You are redirected to Google's consent screen.
Sign in to Google and approve the requested permissions.
You return to Kasimir and a green banner confirms the service was connected successfully. The card now shows Connected as <your-address>.

Settings → Connections: each Google app is its own card with a Connect button.

💡

You can connect several Google services one after another (e.g. Drive and Calendar). Each service is its own connection with its own permissions — giving you full control over what Kasimir may access.

Personal vs. company connection

Personal (default): When you click Connect yourself, the connection applies only to you.
Company-wide: Owners and admins can create a company-wide connection under Administration → Integrations that is available to multiple people. This option is reserved for admins.

Using Google in chat

Once a Google integration is connected, Kasimir can use it as a tool in chat — for example "find the quote template in my Drive" or "create a 'Kickoff' event tomorrow at 10am".

The Sources button in the chat composer lets you control, per chat, which connected services are active:

Connected services have an on/off toggle (per-chat opt-in).
Services that aren't connected yet show a Connect link.
Manage connections jumps straight to Settings.

The 'Sources' popover toggles individual Google services on or off per chat.

💡

You don't need to know file IDs or event details yourself. Describe what you want in plain language — Kasimir will, for example, first search for the file in Drive and then read it. For events, Kasimir confirms the key details (title, time, attendees) when in doubt before creating anything. No invitation emails are sent in the process.

Attaching Drive files to a message

The attachment dialog (Attach file) has a Google Workspace tab. There you search and pick files from My Drive or from Shared drives and attach them directly to your message. Native Google formats (Docs/Sheets/Slides) are automatically converted to readable Office formats (DOCX/XLSX/PPTX) for this.

Syncing Google Drive as a knowledge source

Admins can have a Google Drive folder synced regularly under Administration → Knowledge sources. The content is indexed and then available in company-wide knowledge (RAG) for answers with source citations.

Open Administration → Knowledge sources and click Add knowledge source.
Choose a connected Google connection.
Pick the source type My Drive (Google Drive) or Shared drive.
Select the folder to sync and confirm.

ℹ️

The sync then runs automatically in the background. Use Sync now to trigger a run manually.

Google knowledge for assistants

When editing an assistant, you can link individual Google Drive files as knowledge via the cloud-file picker. The assistant then draws on those files in its answers, independently of company-wide knowledge.

Google in workflows

Workflows offer Google actions as step building blocks, including:

Upload a file to Google Drive (optionally into a specific folder; empty = My Drive)
Append a row to a Google Sheet
Create an event in Google Calendar

This lets a workflow's results be stored in your Google Workspace automatically.

Disconnecting

You can end a connection at any time:

Go to Settings → Connections.
Open the Google card and click Disconnect (or the menu next to the connection).
Confirm the prompt Really disconnect?.

After that, Kasimir no longer has access to the respective Google service.

Privacy & security

Kasimir requests only the permissions each service needs (e.g. the Calendar connection gets no Drive access).
Access happens exclusively through Google's official OAuth interface; Kasimir never sees your Google password.
Access tokens are stored server-side and refreshed automatically; you can revoke the connection at any time.
Admins can disable individual Google integrations company-wide.

⚠️

Actions such as uploading, moving, or updating files, and creating events, change data in your real Google account. For write actions, review Kasimir's preview or confirmation before you approve.
