Your Google Workspace user directory, read only. Keeps the People directory current through directory sync, and lets agents look up people, their titles, departments and managers, and the organizational units they belong to.

Ways to connect
A company admin connects Google Workspace Directory from the Integrations page in Everdeck. Keys, tokens and secrets are encrypted before they're stored, and the connection's Test button checks it works before any agent uses it.
Every way in uses an app you create with Google Workspace Directory, so access stays under your control. The setup guide walks you through it.
-
Google service account with domain-wide delegation Service account
Create a service account or key of your own with Google Workspace Directory and paste it into Everdeck. The connection then works without anyone signing in each time.
-
Your Google OAuth app Your OAuth app
Create an OAuth app of your own with Google Workspace Directory, paste its client ID and secret into Everdeck, then sign in to Google Workspace Directory and approve access. Access runs through your own app, never one Everdeck shares with other customers.
What agents can do with Google Workspace Directory
An agent can only use the actions its charter grants. Each action has a risk tier, and the tier decides whether it runs on its own, asks first or always asks a person.
Runs on its own 5
Looking things up, writing to Everdeck's own records and changes one step can undo. Once an agent's charter grants one of these, it runs without asking, unless you set it to Ask first in the charter or one of your approval rules covers it.
-
List users Tier 0 · Read Outside content
List the Google Workspace users of your organization, or of one organizational unit and the units under it. Returns id, primary email, name, whether the account is suspended, organizational unit, job titles and departments, and manager (relations of type manager, by email).
-
Find people by name, email or title Tier 0 · Read Outside content
Search the organization's users by name, email or job title (prefix matches), for example name:'Jane' or orgTitle:'Head of Finance'. Returns the same fields as list_users.
-
Read a user Tier 0 · Read Outside content
Read one user by primary email, alias or id: name, organizational unit, titles, departments, cost centers, locations, manager and whether the account is suspended.
-
List a user's aliases Tier 0 · Read Outside content
List the other email addresses (aliases) of one user.
-
List organizational units Tier 0 · Read Outside content
List the organization's organizational units, every level under the one named (the whole organization when none is). Returns each unit's name, path, description and parent path.
Actions marked Outside content return what people outside your company may have written, such as emails or comments. Agents get it labelled as untrusted data, not as instructions.
What can start work
Nothing in Google Workspace Directory starts agent work by itself. Agents use it while they work on tasks from the board, from other agents or from the sources on the Intake page.
Work an agent can take on
Examples for apps in HR & recruiting. What an agent does with Google Workspace Directory depends on the actions you grant it.
- List who is out this week, and what time off is waiting for a decision.
- Prepare a new hire's record from their details for a person to check.
