Why integrate with Google
Common scenarios for SaaS companies building Google integrations for their customers.
Sync employee directories for automated provisioning
SaaS companies building HR, IT management, or security products need to pull the full Google Workspace user directory to auto-populate employee lists, detect new hires, and trigger onboarding workflows — without asking every employee to authenticate individually.
Read and send emails on behalf of users
Sales engagement, CRM, and recruiting platforms need to send emails directly from a user's Gmail account for better deliverability and thread continuity, while also monitoring incoming replies to trigger automated sequences or log correspondence.
Schedule meetings with calendar availability lookups
Scheduling, ATS, and customer success tools need to read a user's Google Calendar availability, create events with Google Meet links, and keep both sides in sync — enabling features like candidate interview booking or customer meeting scheduling directly from the SaaS UI.
Store and manage files in Google Drive programmatically
Contract management, project management, and compliance SaaS products need to upload documents to Google Drive, organize them into shared drives, and set granular permissions — keeping Google Drive as the system of record without manual file shuffling.
Enable Google SSO and workspace-level app management
Security and identity platforms need to enumerate apps installed across a Google Workspace, audit user-to-app assignments, and enforce access policies — requiring deep integration with Google's SSO and admin APIs.
What You Can Build
Ship these features with Truto + Google
Concrete product features your team can ship faster by leveraging Truto’s Google integration instead of building from scratch.
One-click interview scheduling with Meet links
Let recruiters check interviewer availability from Google Calendar, book a slot, and auto-generate a Google Meet link — all without leaving your product.
Automated email sequence engine via Gmail
Send personalized drip campaigns directly from a sales rep's Gmail account so emails land in their Sent folder and replies are tracked in real time.
Company-wide employee directory sync
Pull every user, group, and role from Google Workspace's directory to auto-populate your platform's org chart, permission model, or onboarding pipeline.
Executed document auto-upload to Shared Drives
When a contract or report is finalized in your app, automatically push the PDF to the correct Google Shared Drive with the right permissions already set.
Unified search across Gmail, Drive, and Calendar
Surface relevant emails, files, and events from a user's Google Workspace in a single search bar embedded in your product.
Google Workspace SSO app audit dashboard
Enumerate all third-party apps connected to a customer's Google Workspace and display user-to-app assignments for security review and compliance reporting.
Unified APIs
Unified APIs for Google
Skip writing code for every integration. Use Truto’s category-specific Unified APIs out of the box or customize the mappings with AI.
Unified HRIS API
Unified Knowledge Base API
Unified Emails API
Attachments
Attachments are the files associated with an email.
Emails
An email is a digital message sent and received electronically over the Internet. It typically contains a subject, sender, recipients, body content, and sometimes attachments.
Folders
The folder is a container used to organize and manage email messages.
Unified User Directory API
Unified Conferencing API
Attendees
The attendees represent the individuals who join the meeting.
Meetings
The meeting represents the actual meeting or video call conducted on the platform.
Transcript Entries
The transcript entries represent the list of sentences in the meeting transcript.
Transcripts
The transcript represents the written text of the spoken dialogue during the meeting.
Unified Calendar API
Unified File Storage API
Drive-Items
Drive Items are the files and folders present in a file storage system. These items are usually part of a Drive. You can differentiate between files and folders using the type attribute.
Drives
Drives is a collection of files and folders. They could have multiple Drive Items within them. Users could have multiple Drives accessible to them in a file storage system.
Permissions
Permissions can answer your questions around which User has access to do what on a Drive Item or a Drive.
Tags
Represents the tags in a file storage system
Unified Single Sign-On API
Unified Search API
Search
Search endpoint for all the apps.
How It Works
From zero to integrated
Go live with Google in under an hour. No boilerplate, no maintenance burden.
Link your customer’s Google account
Use Truto’s frontend SDK to connect your customer’s Google account. We handle all OAuth and API key flows — you don’t need to create the OAuth app.
We handle authentication
Don’t spend time refreshing access tokens or figuring out secure storage. We handle it and inject credentials into every API request.
Call our API, we call Google
Truto’s Proxy API is a 1-to-1 mapping of the Google API. You call us, we call Google, and pass the response back in the same cycle.
Unified response format
Every response follows a single format across all integrations. We translate Google’s pagination into unified cursor-based pagination. Data is always in the result attribute.
FAQs
Common questions about Google on Truto
Authentication, rate limits, data freshness, and everything else you need to know before you integrate.
How does authentication work for Google integrations through Truto?
Google uses OAuth 2.0 for user-level authentication. Truto handles the full OAuth flow — token acquisition, refresh, and scope management — so your users just click 'Connect Google' and you receive a managed credential. For admin-wide access (e.g., pulling the entire company directory), Google also supports service account delegation, which Truto can manage on your behalf.
Which Google APIs map to Truto's Unified APIs?
Google Calendar maps to the Unified Calendar API (Events, Calendars, Availability). Gmail maps to the Unified Emails API (Emails, Attachments, Folders). Google Drive maps to the Unified File Storage API (Drive-Items, Drives, Permissions). Google Admin Directory maps to the Unified User Directory API and Unified HRIS API (Users, Groups, Roles). Google Meet maps to the Unified Conferencing API (Meetings, Transcripts). Google SSO data maps to the Unified Single Sign-On API.
How does Truto handle Google API rate limits?
Google enforces per-user and per-project rate limits that vary by API (e.g., Gmail allows ~250 quota units per second per user). Truto manages rate limiting, automatic retries with exponential backoff, and pagination transparently so your application doesn't need to implement this logic directly.
Can I read and write data, or is the integration read-only?
Truto supports both read and write operations where the underlying Google API allows it. For example, you can create calendar events, send emails, upload files to Drive, and create users in the directory — all through the corresponding Unified APIs.
What happens if specific tools I need aren't available yet?
Google integration tools are built on request. If you need a specific endpoint or data model that isn't yet covered, Truto's team will build and ship it for you — typically with fast turnaround. You can also use Truto's proxy mode to call any Google API endpoint directly while still benefiting from Truto's auth and token management.
How fresh is the data from Google APIs?
Data freshness depends on your polling interval or webhook configuration. Google supports push notifications for several APIs (Calendar, Gmail, Drive), enabling near-real-time sync. Truto can orchestrate these webhooks so your application receives changes as they happen rather than relying solely on periodic polling.
