Google Drive
· #10 most-usedYour files, everywhere — your agent handles the rest
Google Drive is Google's cloud storage platform for storing, syncing, and sharing files across every device and collaborator in your organisation. Connect it to Actionist and your agent can upload invoices, move contracts through approval folders, export Docs to PDF, create client workspaces, watch folders for incoming files, and manage permissions — all triggered by events in your other tools, no manual file-wrangling required.
Eliminates manual work. Eliminates manual file filing, folder creation, permission grants, and format exports that teams repeat dozens of times each week across Drive.
What your Google Drive agent runs on autopilot
A week of scheduled jobs your Actionist agent will execute on your behalf.
Google Drive × every other app you use
End-to-end automations that span multiple apps — each one a real business outcome.
New client onboarding, filed in 30 seconds
When a welcome email from a new customer lands in Gmail, your agent spins up the entire onboarding file structure before the CSM finishes reading — the client folder is created in Drive, the onboarding packet is copied and personalised, a kickoff calendar invite is dropped on the calendar, and the CSM is pinged in Slack with a direct Drive link. What used to take 20 minutes of folder-clicking takes 30 seconds, and nothing falls through the cracks.
Time saved for your team — every week, on autopilot

What your team gets back — two angles: what you stop doing manually, and what that's worth.

How to plug Google Drive into Actionist
Pick the connection method that suits your environment.
The fastest path to full Drive access. Install Google Drive's MCP server and the agent connects through a permissioned OAuth handshake — reads, writes, and watches folders with no API keys to rotate.
Find Google Drive in the Apps library and click Connect. MCP is selected by default.
A Google OAuth consent screen opens. Sign in with the Google account that owns the Drive you want to automate, and grant the requested Drive scopes (read, write, and activity). Shared Drive access is included if your account has membership.
Actionist runs a read-only call to verify the handshake. You're ready.
