99Connecting Google Drive, Calendar, and Gmail lets Claude read documents, spreadsheets, calendar events, and email in any channel where the connector is on. Claude connects with its own credential, not a person's.

11This connector calls Google's HTTP APIs, and it's separate from members' personal claude.ai connectors. A member's own Google connector applies in one-to-one DMs. Claude can also [use it in a channel](/docs/claude-tag/concepts/personal-connectors) for that member's own tasks, after the member allows it.

2828> Use a dedicated Google account for this connector (for example, `[email protected]`), not your own. The connector is shared: anyone in a channel where it's on can ask Claude to read whatever this account can see in Drive, Calendar, and Gmail. A dedicated account starts with no access until you share the specific folders and calendars Claude needs, and keeps its activity under a separate identity in Google's audit log.

30Go to [**Organization settings > Claude Tag > Connectors**](https://claude.ai/admin-settings/claude-tag?access=connectors), click **Add**, and select **Google Drive**, **Google Calendar**, or **Gmail**. The connect form lists the Google hosts the connector can reach; there are no scopes to choose. The first credential you add for a service from the **Connectors** tab is on in every workspace and channel as soon as you save it. To give it narrower reach, see [where a new connector applies](/docs/claude-tag/admins/add-connections#add-a-connection) before you sign in. Click **Sign in with Google Drive** (or **Sign in with Google Calendar**, or **Sign in with Gmail**), approve the Google consent screen, and the credential is saved.

4949For Google Workspace data (Drive, Calendar, Gmail, Docs), the service account needs domain-wide delegation configured in your Google Admin console. In the service account's domain-wide delegation entry, list every scope you entered in **Scopes**, or `https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform` if you left **Scopes** empty. Google's guide is at [developers.google.com/identity/protocols/oauth2/service-account](https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/oauth2/service-account#delegatingauthority).

5151Google refuses the token request when the domain-wide delegation entry is missing one of the requested scopes. Claude then reports HTTP 502 with a reason that starts with `injection failed ("<connection name>")`.
