Can the assistant delete or share my files?

No. No tool deletes a Drive file or changes who may see a file or calendar. New folders, documents and uploads are possible, with approval. Deleted mail goes to Gmail’s Trash, which you can restore for 30 days, and Google keeps a deleted event in the calendar’s bin for 30 days.

Does it have to reach my mail?

Only if you tick Gmail. Each part asks Google for its own permissions and nothing more: an organisation that lets assistants read calendars never has to grant them its mail. Gmail is not ticked by default.

Will it email people without me knowing?

Sending, replying and forwarding mail wait for your approval. When it creates or changes an event, nobody is emailed about it unless you asked to invite or tell people.

Which AI assistants can use Google Workspace through Flowplane?

Claude, Claude Code, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex, GitHub Copilot and Mistral Le Chat, and any other client that supports remote MCP servers with sign-in. They all reach Google Workspace through the same Flowplane address.

Free for one person, with up to three apps and five assistants. Personal Pro is €9 a month including VAT; companies start at €99 a month for ten active users. Prices are indicative; see the pricing page.

Files, notes and calendars

Google Workspace MCP server

Google Workspace is one connector with three parts you tick: Drive (with Docs, Sheets and Slides), Calendar and Gmail. Through Flowplane an AI assistant can search and read your files, Docs, Sheets and slides, look at your calendars and find a free time, and search and read your mail. It can also send and sort mail, plan events and write to documents, and each of those changes waits for your approval first.

What it can do

What your assistant can do in Google Workspace

16 tools that read and 20 that change something in Google Workspace. Reads are allowed; a change marked “asks first” waits for the person’s approval by default, and your workspace’s rules decide the rest.

How it connects

Sign-in

Each person signs in with their own Google account, personal or Google Workspace, and the assistant acts with that person’s rights: their mail, calendars and files and nothing else. Google only asks for the parts you ticked, and a part added later asks only for what is new. A team can also connect one shared account, for a team calendar or Drive, which everyone with access then uses. Flowplane keeps the sign-in sealed; the assistant never sees it.

In Flowplane: In the Flowplane console, add Google Workspace, tick what it should reach (Drive and Calendar are ticked, Gmail is not), then sign in with Google and accept every permission it lists.

MCP

Google Workspace and MCP

Google runs official MCP servers of its own for Gmail, Drive, Calendar, Docs, Sheets, Slides and more, but they are still a developer preview: you join Google’s Developer Preview Program and set them up in a Google Cloud project of your own. Flowplane does not use them; it talks to Google’s regular APIs directly, so there is nothing to set up at Google.
