# Google Services

> Connect your Google account to enable Gmail, Drive, Calendar, and more within your Digital Twin conversations.

Pria integrates with Google Workspace to let your Digital Twin access your Google services directly during conversations. You can ask your Digital Twin to read emails, search files, create calendar events, and more — all without leaving the chat.

## Connecting Your Google Account

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open your Profile">
    Click on your profile icon or navigate to your profile settings.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Find Google Services">
    Look for the Google services section. You will see checkboxes for each available service.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select Services">
    Check the services you want to enable. Some services have dependencies:

    * **Google Sheets, Docs, and Slides** automatically enable Google Drive (they need Drive access to read files)
    * **Google Meet** automatically enables Google Calendar (meetings are calendar events)
  </Step>

  <Step title="Authorize with Google">
    Click the authorize button. You will be redirected to Google's consent screen where you can review and approve the requested permissions.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Start Using">
    Once authorized, your Digital Twin can immediately use the connected services. Just ask naturally — for example, "Check my email" or "What's on my calendar today?"
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Info>You can add or remove services at any time by returning to your profile and changing your selections. Adding new services will redirect you to Google's consent screen again to approve the additional permissions.</Info>

## How Authorization Works

### Personal Authorization

When you connect your Google account, your Digital Twin uses **your credentials** to access your data. No one else — not even administrators — can see your Google data through Pria.

### Institution-Shared Authorization

Your administrator may have connected a shared Google account for your institution. In this case:

* Some services may already be available without you authorizing anything
* Institution-provided services are shown with a different indicator
* You can still connect your personal Google account for services the institution doesn't provide

### Authorization Priority

When both personal and institution-shared Google accounts are available, Pria uses this priority:

1. **Institution-shared** credentials (if your admin has connected them and enabled them for users)
2. **Personal** credentials (your own Google account)

***

## Disconnecting Services

To revoke Pria's access to your Google account:

1. Go to your **Profile settings**
2. Look for the Google services section
3. Click **Disconnect** or uncheck the services you want to remove

You can also revoke access directly from your [Google Account permissions page](https://myaccount.google.com/permissions).

<Warning>Disconnecting Google services will prevent your Digital Twin from accessing those services until you re-authorize. Any files previously downloaded from Drive to your IP Vault will remain.</Warning>

***

## Privacy and Data Handling

* Pria accesses your Google data **only when you ask** during a conversation
* Your Google credentials (tokens) are stored securely and are never shared with other users
* Pria uses **read-only** access for most services (Gmail send and Calendar event creation are the exceptions)
* No data is permanently stored from Google services — it is retrieved on-demand during conversations
* Files downloaded from Google Drive to your IP Vault are stored as regular uploads and follow your institution's data retention policies

***

## Troubleshooting

<Accordion title="Authorization fails or redirects to an error page">
  * Make sure pop-ups are not blocked in your browser
  * Try using the full application URL (not a proxied or embedded version)
  * If using Canvas or another LMS integration, open Pria in a separate browser tab
  * Contact your administrator if the error persists — the Google OAuth configuration may need updating
</Accordion>

<Accordion title="Digital Twin says it cannot access a Google service">
  * Check your profile to confirm the service is authorized
  * The authorization may have expired — try disconnecting and reconnecting
  * Your administrator may not have enabled that service for your institution
</Accordion>

<Accordion title="I see institution-provided services but want to use my own account">
  When your institution provides shared Google credentials, those take priority. Contact your administrator if you need to use your personal Google account instead.
</Accordion>
