​
Overview

Friday can read, create, and modify resources across Google Suite, including Calendar, Gmail, Drive, Docs, and Sheets. A single one‑time OAuth authorization grants Friday the permissions you approve, after which any task that mentions a Google service will work automatically.

​
Prerequisites

  1. A Google Workspace (or personal Google) account that has permission to install third‑party apps.
  2. Access to the Google “Apps” directory for the account (the OAuth screens will be shown there).

​
Step‑by‑Step Guide

Friday will detect when a request needs a Google service and will prompt you to complete the OAuth flow.
1

Start with a real Google request

Phrase a prompt that tells Friday what you want to do in a Google product. This gives Friday the context it needs to request access.Example prompts:
  • “Create a calendar event on Friday at 10 am titled Team Sync and invite the #marketing channel.”
  • “Send a weekly email to myself with the subject _Weekly Report  _and attach the most recent file in Weekly Reports folder from Drive.”
  • “Edit the Project Brief Google Doc for any grammar errors or misspellings”
  • “Add a row to the Leads Google Sheet with name Bob and email [email protected].”
2

Start the OAuth flow

  • Click **Connect Google … **button that Friday presents.
  • You will be redirected to Google’s OAuth screen.
3

Authorize Friday

  • Select the Google account you’d like to connect.
  • Review the scopes listed for the requested service.
  • Click **Allow. **
  • Google redirects you back to Friday with a confirmation.
4

Continue your task

After authentication, the task you’ve set up in step 1 will continue automatically, and Friday will now be able to interact with your Google-based requests.
5

Use Google services in future tasks

After the one‑time connection, any prompt that mentions Calendar, Gmail, Drive, Docs, or Sheets will be handled automatically. No further credential steps are required.

​
Security & Permissions

  • Token storage: Friday stores the Google OAuth token securely; the raw token is never exposed to you.
  • Least‑privilege scopes: Only the scopes required for the requested service are requested (e.g., https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar for Calendar).
  • Revoking access: Removing the Friday app from your Google account instantly disables all Google‑Suite actions for Friday.

​
Revoking Access

To remove the Google app token from Friday:
  1. In Friday, go to Settings → Integrations.
  2. Find the Google app you’d like to revoke access and click Remove.
To remove Friday from your Google Account:
  1. Go to Google Account → Security → Third‑party apps with account access.
  2. Find the entry named Friday (or the name displayed on the OAuth consent screen).
  3. Click Remove Access.
After revocation, any future Friday request that involves a Google service will trigger the OAuth flow again, requiring you to reconnect.
