Describe the whole flow and it is built, tested on every scenario and kept running. Google Docs **10** triggers Google Docs **46** actions Google Drive **7** triggers Google Drive **85** actions What the catalog holds today. Ask for anything missing and your agent reads the API documentation and adds it. ## What do you want Google Docs and Google Drive to do together? Give your AI client this address. `https://mcp.apiant.ai` One connection does both: ask your client to act in an app once, or have it build an automation that keeps running. Any client that takes a remote MCP server. Nothing to install. Create your free account, then sign in once in your browser. ### Set it up in your client ### Claude Code Run this in the directory you want to work in. `claude mcp add --transport http -s project apiant-ai https://mcp.apiant.ai` Start Claude Code there, approve the server, and sign in in the browser page it opens. [Claude Code guide (opens in a new tab)](https://apiant.ai/docs/mcp/claude-code) ### Claude, web and desktop Open Customize, then Connectors, then Add custom connector, and paste the address.

APIANT's skills reach the client over the same connection. [Setup guide (opens in a new tab)](https://apiant.ai/docs/mcp) Google Docs holds the writing and Google Drive holds the filing, sharing and comments around it. Joining them means a new or changed doc can be filed into the right Drive folder, shared with the people who need it, or marked with a header or footer, and Drive activity like a new comment or a new permission can write straight back into the document. Example flows ## What Google Docs and Google Drive can do together ### From Google Docs to Google Drive - When **Document Word Count Threshold** in Google Docs then **Copy File** in Google Drive - When **Keyword Detected in Document** in Google Docs then **Create Comment** in Google Drive ### From Google Drive to Google Docs - When **Comment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides)** in Google Drive then **Create Document** in Google Docs - When **File Shared (Permissions Added)** in Google Drive then **Create Document Markdown** in Google Docs Starting points drawn from the triggers and actions in the catalog today. Describe the flow you need, at any depth, and your agent builds it and tests every scenario before it ships. Everything your agent can do with Google Docs and Google Drive ## Triggers and actions 17 triggers ยท 131 actions - Trigger **Document Deleted** Triggers when an existing Google Doc is deleted (moved to trash). This trigger monitors Google Docs and fires when documents are trashed. - Trigger **Document Placeholder Filled** Triggers when a Google Doc's plain text changes such that a configured placeholder token/pattern is no longer present (i.e., the document has been filled in).

Use this action when you need to add a row to an existing table, either above or below a reference cell location. - Action **Insert Text Action** Tool to insert a string of text at a specified location within a google document. use when you need to add new text content to an existing document. - Action **Insert Text In Table Cell** Inserts text into a specific cell of a table in a Google Document by row and column position. Use this action when you need to add or update text content in a table cell at a known row and column index. To use this action, you must first retrieve the document structure using GOOGLEDOCS_GET_DOCUMENT_BY_ID to find the table's start index. Then specify the target cell by its zero-based row and column indices (e.g., row_index=0, column_index=0 for the top-left cell). - Action **List Drive Item Permissions** List permissions for a Google Drive file, folder, or shared drive. - Action **List Spreadsheet Charts** Tool to retrieve a list of all charts from a specified Google Sheets spreadsheet.

Use this action when you need to rename a tab, change its emoji icon, move it within the tab hierarchy, or reorganize tab structure. - Action **Upload Drive File** Upload a file of 5 MiB or less to Google Drive using multipart upload. - Trigger **Comment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides)** Triggers when a new comment is added to Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides. - Trigger **File Created** Triggers when a new file is created in Google Drive. - Trigger **File Deleted or Trashed** Triggers when a file is moved to trash or permanently deleted in Drive. - Trigger **File Shared (Permissions Added)** Triggers when new sharing permissions are granted to a file or folder. Uses Drive's `changes.list` endpoint with inline `permissions` in the `fields` mask so each change carries the file's current permission set provider-atomically. We diff that against `seen_permission_keys` to identify newly added grants. Drive page tokens are the primary cursor; if Drive rejects a stored token, the trigger raises `PollingTriggerError` without clearing state rather than silently re-baselining and dropping events. Limitation: truly ephemeral permissions (added and revoked between two polls without any other file modification in between) are not detected. Drive Activity API would catch those but requires an additional OAuth scope and a different payload contract. - Trigger **File Updated** Triggers when a file's metadata or content changes in Google Drive. - Trigger **Google Drive Changes** Triggers when changes are detected in a Google Drive. - Trigger **New File Matching Query** Triggers when a new Google Drive file matches a provided query. This is the legacy query-centric trigger: it preserves Drive API query config such as ``corpora`` / ``driveId`` aliases and emits the historical ``file_matching_query`` event type. ``FileCreatedTrigger`` covers the broader "new file" case and emits ``file_created``. - Action **Add File Sharing Preference** Modifies sharing permissions for an existing google drive file, granting a specified role to a user, group, domain, or 'anyone'. - Action **Add Parent** Tool to add a parent folder for a file using Google Drive API v2. Use when you need to add a file to an additional folder. - Action **Add Property** Tool to add a property to a file, or update it if it already exists (v2 API).

Yes. The New Document Created trigger in Google Docs can start a run that adds a header in the doc, then uses Move File and Add File Sharing Preference in Google Drive, and you can limit it to documents whose title matches what you specify. ### ### What happens if someone comments on a doc in Google Drive? The Comment Added trigger in Google Drive can fire an Insert Text Action in Google Docs, so the comment lands as a note inside the document itself. The agent tests every scenario before it goes live and keeps watching the connection afterwards. ### ### What can start an automation from Google Docs? Any of Google Docs's 10 triggers in the catalog, including Document Word Count Threshold, Keyword Detected in Document, New Document Created and Document Structure Changed. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one. ### ### What can your agent do in Google Drive when something happens in Google Docs? Any of Google Drive's 85 actions, including Copy File, Create Comment, Create File and Create File From Text. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from Google Drive to Google Docs? Yes. When something happens in Google Drive, your agent can act in Google Docs too. This page covers both directions: Google Drive's triggers and Google Docs's actions are listed here as well. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for Google Docs or Google Drive? No. Both are in the catalog with their triggers and actions. You describe the automation; your agent builds it, tests every scenario and keeps it running. ### ### Can my AI client use Google Docs and Google Drive without building an automation? Yes. With your AI client connected to APIANT, ask it to do something in either app once and it runs that action on the spot. Ask for an automation and your agent builds it, tests every scenario and keeps it running. One connection covers both. ### ### What happens when something fails? Your agent works that out for you. It plans the failure paths along with the happy path, then tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Is there a free plan? Yes. Every plan includes the agent, including free, and building from your own AI client spends no assistant credits.
