What Well does with your Google Drive connection

Connect

Connect Google Drive over OAuth 2.0: you approve on Google Drive's authorize screen, so the password never reaches Well; Well holds only a scoped token it can refresh.

Sync

Well brings extracted invoice PDF, and shared drive in from Google Drive on a recurring poll that fetches only what changed since the last read. The first sync backfills history in the background and the connection stays live after.

Enrich

Well resolves each Google Drive entity into file in Drive folder, and delivery target, assigns categories, and links every record to an audit trail across the rest of your connected tools.

Available

Your data from Google Drive lands as file in Drive folder, and delivery target you can search, chart, and automate, and approved records flow back to Google Drive once they clear your review queue.

    Use the data

    Use the data: ask questions in conversation, build records tables, and let agents post reconciled entries back to Google Drive once they clear your review queue. Google Drive records are live in your workspace immediately.

    • First syncstarts as soon as connect completes

OAuth handshake typically under a minute. Backfill of historical records runs in the background; you can use Well in conversation against incoming records while the backfill completes.

How Google Drive stays secure with Well

Google Drive connects through Well's file-storage connector, which authorises the Drive folder or shared drive Well may write to and uploads extracted PDFs there for you. The capability is outbound today: Well files a processed document into Drive and does not read files back, since inbound import is still coming soon. The grant lets Well deposit documents into your storage, not post entries to an accounting ledger.

Frequently asked questions about Google Drive and Well

How do I connect Google Drive to Well, and how long does it take?

Open Connections in Well, pick Google Drive, and click Connect. You're redirected to Google Drive's OAuth screen, you approve the scopes Well requests, and you land back in Well with the connection live. The whole flow runs under a minute and never requires you to handle client credentials.

What does Well pull into the workspace from Google Drive?

Well brings in extracted invoice PDF, and shared drive from Google Drive and reshapes each entity into your workspace: extracted invoice PDF becomes file in Drive folder; shared drive becomes delivery target. Every record arrives with the source identifier preserved, so Google Drive stays the source of truth while Well lets you query the data alongside the rest of your stack.

Which Google Drive folders does Well watch, and how does it index documents?

You select the Google Drive folders Well watches at connect. New files in those folders are indexed, OCR'd when they are documents, and exposed as workspace entities. Documents outside the watched folders stay private to Google Drive.

Can Well surface a shared drive from Google Drive when I ask questions in conversation?

Yes. Google Drive shared drives are indexed in your workspace as delivery target, so questions like "show me last week's shared drives from Google Drive" return them with the original Google Drive link, the workspace context, and any related records (counterparty, period, attached document) joined inline.

How often does Google Drive sync with Well, and what triggers a refresh?

Well polls Google Drive regularly for extracted invoice PDF, and shared drive. The first connect pulls the historical window your account allows; subsequent reads only fetch what changed since the last sync, so the load on Google Drive's side stays modest.

Can I disconnect Google Drive and what happens to the data Well already pulled?

Open Connections > Google Drive in Well and click Disconnect. Well calls Google Drive's token revocation endpoint and stops calling Google Drive immediately on its side; provider-side propagation to Google Drive's admin panel varies by provider. The extracted invoice PDF, and shared drive Well already synced stay in your workspace by default; ask Support to purge them if your compliance flow requires it.

What does Well write back to Google Drive, and what stays read-only?

Once a reconciled record clears your review queue, Well forwards the extracted document to your Google Drive email-in address with the matched context attached: line items, ledger codes, vendor or customer references, and the source PDF. Google Drive's own capture reads it and drafts the entry; you review and post it, so Google Drive stays the system of record. Well holds no write credential to Google Drive and delivers only what you have approved (case-by-case or under a per-rule auto-forward threshold you set).
