Google Drive Integration
Connect Google Drive and select entire folders to sync. AskYourSite recursively walks your selected folders, automatically detecting Docs, Sheets, and PDFs — and syncing all of them as training content for your assistant.
Note: Integrations are available on the Pro and Business plans. Upgrade your plan if you're on Starter.
Tip: This is the most powerful Google integration. Add any file to your folder and it gets picked up on the next sync automatically — no manual selection needed.
Use Cases
- Company shared drive — sync an entire team knowledge base in one folder
- Client folders — one bot per client, each trained on their Drive folder
- Support documentation — all help articles stored in Drive, always in sync
- Team wikis — mix of Docs and Sheets, auto-synced to your assistant
- Bulk onboarding — sync all onboarding materials at once
Supported File Types
| File Type | How It's Processed |
|---|---|
| Google Docs | Extracted via Google Docs API |
| Google Sheets | Row-by-row extraction |
| Folders | Recursively walked (up to 3 levels deep) |
| PDFs | Text extracted directly |
Note: Images, videos, audio files, and other binary files are skipped during sync.
Connecting Google Drive
- Go to Dashboard → Integrations
- Click Connect on the Google Drive card (or it shows Connected if you've already linked Google Docs or Sheets)
- If not connected: log in with your Google account and click Allow
- You'll be redirected back — Google Drive will show as Connected
Configuring Per Assistant
- Go to Integrations → Google Drive → Configure
- Select your assistant
- Browse your Drive folders and select the ones to sync
- Set sync frequency (daily is recommended)
- Click Save & Sync Now

Disconnecting
Go to Integrations → Google Drive → Disconnect. This disconnects all three Google integrations (Docs, Sheets, Drive) and deactivates all sync configurations.
