> Connect Gmail, Google Calendar, Drive, Sheets, Docs, and Slides. Each Google connection is private to you.

Connect your Google account so that chats and agents can work in Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Drive, Google Sheets, Google Docs, and Google Slides. Each Google connection is private to you.

> **Note:** Signing in to TulipFarm with Google does not connect your Google apps. You connect each app on the **Connections** page.

## What each app can do

| App | What it can do |
| --- | --- |
| Gmail | Read and label your email. Send email. |
| Google Calendar | Read your events. Create events. |
| Google Drive | Find and read files. Change files. |
| Google Sheets | Read spreadsheets. Change spreadsheets. |
| Google Docs | Read documents. Change documents. |
| Google Slides | Read presentations. Change presentations. |

Every Google app can also see your email address.

Sending email, creating an event, and every change to a file, spreadsheet, document, or presentation asks first. You approve each change before it runs. See [Approvals](https://docs.tulipfarm.ai/concepts/approvals/).

Changing spreadsheets also needs Google Drive access. If Google Drive access is missing, the Google Sheets panel shows **Grant Google Drive access**.

## Who can see a Google connection

Only you. Admins cannot see your Google connections. Other members of your workspace cannot use them.

## Connect a Google app

1. Select **Connections** in the sidebar.

2. Select the Google app that you want to connect, for example **Gmail**.

3. Read **What it can do** in the panel.

4. Select **Connect**.

   If you already connected another Google app, the button says **Grant access**.

5. On the Google page, choose your Google account.

6. Allow all the access that Google asks for. If Google shows boxes, select all of them.

7. Check that the app shows **Connected**.

If a connection shows **Needs attention**, open the app and select **Reconnect**. For other problems, see [Google connection problems](https://docs.tulipfarm.ai/troubleshooting/google-connection-problems/).

## Use Google Sheets to start a workflow

Google Sheets can also start a [workflow](https://docs.tulipfarm.ai/concepts/agents-skills-and-workflows/) when rows are new or updated. This setup is separate from the connection on this page. See [Start workflows from other apps](https://docs.tulipfarm.ai/guides/start-workflows-from-other-apps/).
