Connect your Google Docs account to Goodweek to read, create, and edit documents stored in Google Drive directly from your AI workspace.
ℹ️ Governance note
Goodweek will never exceed the access levels granted to the user within Google Docs, guaranteeing alignment with your organization's governance policies. Outcomes and available features may vary depending on each user's specific permissions and authenticated access.
📋 Prerequisites
Before any user can see and connect the Google Docs integration, your organization admin must first enable it from the Goodweek Admin Panel under the Integrations tab.
Admin Setup
Personal Google accounts (@gmail.com)
No admin setup required. Connect directly following the User Connection steps below.
Google Workspace accounts (work or school)
Depending on your organization's API access policy, one of the following scenarios may apply.
Scenario 1 — Default (unrestricted third-party access)
Any user can connect directly without admin intervention.
Scenario 2 — Third-party access is restricted (admin_policy_enforced error)
A Google Workspace Super Admin must mark Composio as a trusted app:
Log in to admin.google.com as a Super Admin.
Go to Security → Access and data control → API controls → Manage Third-Party App Access.
Click Configure new app, search for Composio, select it, set access to Trusted, and click Save.
Scenario 3 — All third-party API access is blocked
Go to admin.google.com → Security → API controls and review the "Third-party app access to Google APIs" setting. If blocked, the admin must create an exception for Composio before following Scenario 2.
User Connection
In Goodweek, go to Integrations.
Find Google Docs and click Connect.
You will be redirected to Google, where you will be asked to sign in.
Review the requested permissions and click Allow to return to Goodweek.
Important Notes
Each user must connect their own account individually.
Goodweek can only access the documents that your individual user account has permission to see. Documents shared with you are accessible only if you have been granted the appropriate sharing permissions.
If you have multiple Google accounts, make sure you select the correct one during the connection step.
You can revoke Goodweek's access at any time from myaccount.google.com → Security → Third-party apps with account access.

Read and reference existing documents. Retrieve the content of any Google Doc your account has access to and bring it into a Goodweek conversation to review, summarise, or build on.
Update documents with new information. Insert or replace sections of an existing Google Doc — for example, updating a report template with new data or appending notes from a meeting — without rewriting the whole document.
Export documents to PDF. Export any Google Doc as a PDF directly from Goodweek for sharing or archiving without navigating the Google Docs UI.
