events (v1)

SkillDev tools

This skill lets your AI subscribe to Google Workspace events. Once it is added, your agent can follow activity in Google Workspace through those events and manage the subscriptions it holds.

Available today. Use it from your connected AI after setup.

After adding the skill, tell your agent which Google Workspace events you want it to follow. It can then set up and manage those subscriptions for you.

Then ask your AI: use the events (v1) skill

What your AI can do with it

  • Subscribe to Google Workspace events
  • Manage existing event subscriptions
  • Stay aware of activity in Google Workspace
  • Adjust subscriptions as your needs change

API Resources

message

  • stream — SendStreamingMessage is a streaming call that will return a stream of task update events until the Task is in an interrupted or terminal state.

operations

  • get — Gets the latest state of a long-running operation. Clients can use this method to poll the operation result at intervals as recommended by the API service.

subscriptions

tasks

  • cancel — Cancel a task from the agent. If supported one should expect no more task updates for the task.
  • get — Get the current state of a task from the agent.
  • subscribe — TaskSubscription is a streaming call that will return a stream of task update events. This attaches the stream to an existing in process task. If the task is complete the stream will return the completed task (like GetTask) and close the stream.
  • pushNotificationConfigs — Operations on the 'pushNotificationConfigs' resource
