What ChatGPT can do in Google Chat

Write1 operation

Send

  • send_messageSend a message to a space, chat or thread, with up to 10 mentions.

You choose what ChatGPT can use

When you approve ChatGPT, pick Full access, Read only, or Custom. Read only allows the Read operations and nothing else. Custom picks apps and tools one by one.

Limits in Google Chat

  • · The connected Google account decides which spaces and messages can be read. Messages only one person can see are left out.
  • · A sent message reaches people right away. ApexGenius cannot unsend it.
  • · Enabled writes run immediately. Turn a tool off to block calls.
  • · Disconnecting stops future access. It does not remove a message already sent.
