Google Drive Integration

Customer-facing implementation guide

Back to overview

Google Drive lets oper8r use approved documents, spreadsheets, PDFs, and files as grounded source material. Drive is especially useful for security docs, implementation notes, customer-facing decks, approved boilerplate, RFP answer libraries, and internal operating documents.

What oper8r Uses

oper8r should use explicitly selected Drive files. It does not need broad access to every file in a workspace for most engagements.

Supported source types commonly include:

  • Google Docs.
  • Google Sheets.
  • PDFs.
  • CSV or spreadsheet files.
  • Text and markdown files.
  • Approved shared-drive materials.

Setup Path

  1. Confirm which folders or files are approved for the workflow.
  2. Connect Google Drive.
  3. Select files with the Drive picker or approved import path.
  4. Import a small sample first.
  5. Validate citations, titles, and source coverage.
  6. Add more files only after the workflow proves useful.

Example Source Plan

Workflow: Security questionnaire response

Drive sources:
- Current security overview.
- SOC 2 customer-facing summary.
- Data processing and retention policy.
- Approved prior questionnaire answers.
- Product architecture notes approved for customer response.

How Drive Content Should Be Used

Drive content should be treated as evidence. oper8r workflows should cite the file or section used for an answer, identify missing evidence, and avoid presenting unsupported claims as fact.

For graph curation, durable facts can be added when Drive content clearly supports them. Example:

{
  "entity": {
    "name": "Acme Security Review",
    "type": "document",
    "externalIds": [
      {
        "provider": "google-drive",
        "id": "1abcDEFghiJKL",
        "type": "file"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Do not store raw OAuth tokens, file permissions payloads, or unrelated private document contents as graph facts.

Review Checklist

  • Files are approved for the workflow.
  • The team knows whether files are internal-only or customer-facing.
  • Cited answers point back to source files.
  • Sensitive documents are not used in outputs unless the workflow allows it.
  • Deleted or outdated files are removed or superseded when needed.
