FAQ
Before you connect Google Maps
How does the agent connect to Google Maps?
You sign in with your own Google Maps account. Permissions are limited to what the agent needs, the connection is health-checked, and you can revoke access from Google Maps at any time.
What can the agent actually do in Google Maps?
The page above lists the 23 actions currently available through the Google Maps connection. The role determines which of those actions the agent may use, and write access is only enabled when the workflow needs it.
Is Google Maps included in my plan?
Connections are priced per tool on top of the base plan. Some are included and some are premium. See pricing for how connection charges work.
