What are Google Connectors?

Google connectors allow Nucleus to use specific Google services that you authorize:

Creating or sending Gmail messages you ask Nucleus to send
Opening Drive files you explicitly choose with Google's file picker, plus files Nucleus creates for you
Checking and managing Calendar events

Available Google Connectors

Google Drive: Access only files you choose through Google's file picker, plus files Nucleus creates
Gmail: Send email messages you draft or ask Nucleus to send
Google Calendar: View and manage events
