Google Drive and Tray

Google Drive helps teams store and share files, but it doesn’t keep those files in sync with the tools that use them. Tray connects Drive to systems like HR, CRM, and ITSM so documents can be tagged, shared, or routed automatically under IT control. Tray’s universal connector also reaches beyond Drive’s native API limits, giving you secure, auditable workflows that link files with the right people and systems. Tray supports integrations across the full Google Workspace suite, so Drive activity can coordinate with Gmail, Sheets, or other Workspace tools in the same governed flow.

Automations

Automations with Google Drive and Tray

Tray automates how files move, update, and sync across Drive and the rest of your environment. File uploads, renames, or deletions can start workflows that notify teams, trigger reviews, or update records in connected systems. Drive events can trigger workflows in real time or on a schedule depending on your setup. Tray uses timestamps and file IDs to maintain consistency across apps so every file action happens in order and under control. Workflows can include logic, branching, and approval steps to coordinate Drive actions with multiple connected systems.

Agents

Build agents with Google Drive and Tray

Tray agents use Drive data to find, classify, and act on files across your systems. Agents can combine Drive context with data from HR, IT, or CRM systems to take action under defined permissions.

Ground agents with relevant Google Drive knowledge

  • Access files and folders: Retrieve Drive content, metadata, and permissions
  • Filter scope: Limit by owner, folder, or tag for controlled access
  • Detect changes: Monitor on a schedule or through event triggers
  • Use Google Drive as an agent data source: Search and summarize approved files while keeping access controlled and auditable

FAQs
