Questions buyers ask
Does it write to customers or change records?
No. It writes one internal note or comment when a person records what they did. Statuses, replies and approvals stay with your team in Google Docs.
What does it need access to?
Google OAuth credentials (client ID, secret and a refresh token) with read-only Drive scope. Available today: Manage → Integrations → Google Docs & Calendar. Each workspace connects its own account; nothing is shared between workspaces, and credentials are stored encrypted.
Does it work before the integration is connected?
Yes. Paste a link to a process document and describe the situation; the next step and the course exist the same minute. The integration adds the record's own history as evidence.
