# Google Docs

Create and edit Google Docs documents.

## What it does

Connects an agent to Google Docs. Agents can read an existing document, create a new one, update its content, or append new content to the end of one.

## Setup

1. Go to **Settings → Integrations → Google Docs**.
2. Click **Connect** and sign in with the Google account the agent should create and edit documents under.
3. Review and grant the requested permissions.
4. Assign the connection to an agent.

## Scopes requested

Access to Google Docs content, plus access to files the agent itself creates in Drive. HeartBeatAgents never sees your Google password; only a token is stored, encrypted, and it can be revoked at any time.

## Typical use

An agent that drafts a first version of a proposal or report as a real Google Doc you can then edit and share, rather than pasting text into a chat window.
