Google Workspace APIs: What You Can Do and How to Use Them with AI Agents
Google Workspace offers a set of APIs for Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Docs, Sheets, Chat and domain administration. Companies use them to automate routines and connect documents and calendars to other systems. Access is through OAuth 2.0 or a service account with delegation approved by the administrator.

How to access the Google Workspace API
- With your company’s credentialsOAuth 2.0 with a Google Cloud project. To act across accounts in the domain, the administrator authorizes a service account with delegation and specific scopes.
- Domain-wide delegation is powerful: authorize only the scopes you need.
- Each API has its own quotas per project and per user.
- Documents and email hold personal and confidential data: restrict folders and mailboxes.

What an iTeam agent does with the Google Workspace API
Proposal ready in the right folder
The agent creates the proposal from the template in Docs, saves it in the customer's folder in Drive and shares it only with the account team.
Meetings scheduled by the agent
The agent finds free slots for the attendees and creates the invitation with the agenda.
Tracking sheet kept up to date
Sales or operations data is entered into the tracking spreadsheet every day.
Sharing review
The agent lists files shared publicly or with outside people so IT can review them.
From the credential to the agent at work, with approval
Set up the Google Cloud project
Enable the APIs you need and create the OAuth client or the service account.
Delegation by the administrator
The Workspace administrator authorizes the scopes. Credentials stay in the iTeam vault, with permissions per agent.

Questions about the Google Workspace API
Are the Google Workspace APIs free?
Generally yes: using the APIs within quotas is not billed separately. The cost is the Workspace license.
Do I need to write code to use the Google Workspace APIs with iTeam?
No. iTeam already connects to Google tools, and the deployment team sets up the project and the delegation with your administrator.
Can the agent see everyone's files?
Only what the scopes and the authorized accounts allow. The recommended approach is to start with specific folders and mailboxes.
