How it works

The Google Workspace connection syncs email and calendar data for selected users into your Context Graph. You choose which users in Clearskies, per person, from the Google integration page. Turning sync on for a person applies across your workspace, not only to Google. For the full picture of what syncs and how to control it, see Data governance and controls. The Google Workspace connection also powers workflow email. The Draft Email and Send Email workflow steps can send through Gmail from a connected Google Workspace user. Microsoft 365 works the same way through Outlook. Recipients must be on your workspace’s domains: an outside address typed into a step is blocked when you save, and addresses that come from workflow data are checked when the workflow runs. See Send email from a workflow.

What you’ll need

Google Workspace admin access (the install button will be grayed out for non-admin users)

Setup steps

1. Open Context Graph in Clearskies

Log in to Clearskies and navigate to Context Graph from the main navigation.

2. Start the Google Workspace connection

Select Google in the list of available data sources and click Connect. A modal will appear with a link to the Google Apps Marketplace.

3. Open the Marketplace listing

Click the Google Apps Marketplace link in the modal or use this link. This opens the Clearskies listing on Google’s Marketplace in a new tab.

4. Install Clearskies from the Marketplace

On the Marketplace listing, click Admin Install. You’ll see a confirmation that the app is being installed for your organization. Click Continue. Note: If the install button is grayed out, you are not signed in as a Google Workspace administrator. Contact your IT team for questions regarding administrator access.

5. Grant permissions and complete the installation

Review the requested permissions and proceed through Google’s installation prompts to complete the Google-side installation. Which users’ email and calendar data syncs to your Context Graph is controlled in Clearskies, per person, in step 7.

6. Return to Clearskies and enter a Workspace account email

After completing the Marketplace installation, switch back to app.clearskies.cc Enter the email of a Google Workspace account in your domain with privileges to list your Workspace users. The field defaults to the current user’s email. It does not need to be the account that completed the Marketplace installation. Click Connect. Note: If the connection fails, verify that the email belongs to an account in your Workspace domain with sufficient privileges to list your Workspace users.

7. Choose which users sync

Once connected, the integration shows Live, and the page lists the users from your Google directory. Choose whose email and calendar data syncs to your Context Graph, one person at a time. Toggle the switch in the Sync column to sync that user’s email and calendar data, or toggle it off to stop syncing. Note: Sync is off for each person until an admin turns it on. Signing in to Clearskies doesn’t turn on sync. If you disable someone in Settings → Users, their sync turns off too, and it stays off if you restore their access later. Click Refresh to update the user list at any time. Refreshing picks up changes in your Google directory and rechecks access for users you’ve turned on.

Already connected with Domain-Wide Delegation?

If your Context Graph is already connected to Google Workspace using Domain-Wide Delegation, your existing integration continues to work. No action is needed.

You’re all set

Your selected users’ Google Workspace data is now connected to your Context Graph. Questions? We’re here to help at support@clearskies.cc
