## What Volty does with Google Drive

Google Drive is where many teams keep their handbooks, registers and price lists. An admin connects Google on Volty's Drive page and picks the Docs and Sheets Volty should know. Volty keeps a synced copy of each in Volty Drive, a Doc as text and each Sheet tab as a table, checks for changes every 30 minutes, and answers from the latest version.

- Pick the files · The admin chooses each Doc and Sheet with the Google file picker.
- Kept up to date · Volty checks every 30 minutes, and an admin can sync a file now.
- Read only copies · Volty reads the synced copy and never edits the file in Google.
- Admins hear about failures · If a file stops syncing, admins get a notification in Volty.

Can I book the function room for a birthday party on Saturday?

Searched Drive · Tenant handbook · Function room

Volty Yes, Ravi. The function room can be booked for up to 30 guests until 10pm, with a $100 refundable deposit. Would you like me to ask the management office to hold Saturday for you?

## As an automation

Describe it to Volty in a sentence; it drafts the automation and an admin turns it on.

A team edit reaches the answers

- When · The team edits a Sheet · A new service date
- Step 1 · Volty finds the change · Within 30 minutes
- Step 2 · Updates its copy · In Volty Drive
- Step 3 · The next answer uses it · On any channel

Tenants get answers from the current version.

## How Volty connects to Google Drive

An admin connects a Google account on Volty's Drive page and picks the files. Volty only syncs what was picked.

- 01 · Connect Google · From the Sources panel on the Drive page.
- 02 · Pick Docs and Sheets · With the Google file picker.
- 03 · Leave it to sync · Every 30 minutes, or Sync now.

### The tools Volty gets

Each one is a switch on the Sources page in Volty.

- Search Drive · Reads
- Read a synced Doc · Reads
- Read a synced Sheet tab · Reads

Reading tools can be turned on straight away. Anything that changes Google Drive starts Off, and once on it can be set to check with staff, so each change waits for a colleague.
