How do I connect Google Sheets?

Connection model

How to connect Google Sheets.

The Google Sheets connection belongs to your signed-in account. Any Google Sheets-native resources stay inside that provider.

Read connection details

Before you start

An account with permission to use the Google Sheets resources you intend to connect.

1. Connect Google Sheets to ApexGenius

Open Google Sheets in Connections. Choose Connect, or Add connection when offered. Give the connection a name if prompted. If Gateway setup pending appears, contact ApexGenius support before continuing.
Choose the account and review access. Sign in to the Google account that has access to the intended resources. Review the permissions Google requests, then return to ApexGenius.
Review the connected account and resources. Find Allowed resources on the connection page or its Tools tab. Choose Refresh and enable only the connected Sheets account. Resource selection does not add permissions to the Google account.
Check the connection. Use Test connection or Check again and read the reported status. Add an AI agent from the AI agents page, choose Read only for the first test, and try the question below.

Current governance

Know the account, tools, and result.

ApexGenius keeps the selected context and current tool surface visible, then records supported write activity for review.

Authorized context

The connected Google account decides which spreadsheets can be read and changed.

Current tool surface

Bulk updates can delete rows and tabs. Read the range first and ask for the exact change.

Reviewable activity

Enabled writes run immediately. Turn a tool off to block calls.

Disconnecting stops future access. It does not undo a change; use the spreadsheet’s version history.

Why a gateway

6 operations. Three tool definitions.

Your AI starts with three ApexGenius gateway tools. It discovers the Google Sheets operations available to its authorization when a task needs them, then runs the selected operation through the gateway.

One saved provider connection

Connect Google Sheets to ApexGenius, then authorize each AI client to use the saved connection with its own tool permissions.

Scoped per agent

Give one client read-only and the write operations never appear in its tool list at all.

Every call on the record

Which agent asked, what ran, and whether it succeeded, kept per connection for review.
