Google: Gmail, Calendar and Drive
Connect Google once and Aria can read your inbox, files and calendar, draft replies into Gmail and prep you for meetings.
One Google sign-in gives your Experts Gmail, Drive, Docs, Sheets and Calendar. The Google page puts them side by side, with Aria on call: ask what needs a reply, have her draft an answer, summarise a file or prep you for a meeting.
It's your personal account, so it stays private to you. Aria writes replies into your Gmail Drafts and never sends them. Events she adds to your calendar carry no invitations.
Why it helps
- You start the week knowing which emails need you, ranked, instead of scrolling the whole inbox.
- Replies arrive as Gmail drafts, so answering takes a read and a click rather than a blank page.
- One click before a meeting gives you a one-page note on who's coming, what they want and what to say.
How to use it
- Connect Google. Open Inbox → Google and click Connect Google. Allow Gmail, Drive and Calendar on Google's sign-in screen.
- See what needs a reply. Click What needs a reply? Aria reads the week's inbox and lists what needs you, most urgent first.
- Draft a reply. In the Inbox tab, click Draft a reply on a message. It appears under Drafts, ready for you to edit and send from Gmail.
- Summarise a file. In Drive, search your files and press Enter, then click Summarise for what matters and anything out of date.
- Prep for a meeting. In Calendar, find an event in the next 7 days and click Prep me. Aria pulls related emails and documents into a short note.
- Ask anything. Type a question in the box at the top, such as whether a supplier ever replied, and click Ask.
Make the most of it
- If you see Reconnect to add Drive & Calendar, reconnect Google from Connected apps and allow everything Google asks for.
- Turn on Share with my team in Settings → Connected apps only if teammates' Experts should read your Google account too. They get reads, never drafts.
- Once Google is connected, Aria's daily brief includes what's coming up on your calendar.
- Replies to your campaigns also show in Email replies, matched against your list.

Questions
Can Aria send email or invite people?
No. She drafts into your Gmail Drafts and you send. Events she creates carry no invitations, and she never deletes anything.
Who can see my inbox and files?
Only you. The Google page is for the workspace owner. Teammates' Experts can read your Google account only if you turn on Share with my team.
How do I disconnect Google?
Go to Settings → Connected apps, find Google under Direct connections and click Remove. Your Experts lose Gmail, Drive and Calendar until you connect again.
