It's useful for anyone who wants to automate responses to Workspace activity without constantly checking their apps.
What it does
- Subscribe to live event streams from Gmail, Calendar, Drive, and other Google Workspace apps
- Receive instant notifications when emails arrive, calendar events are created, or files are edited
- Renew or pause subscriptions to control when you receive alerts
- List and manage all active event subscriptions across your Workspace
Use it when
- You need to know immediately when a specific email arrives or a file is updated
- You're automating workflows that depend on Google Workspace activity (e.g., logging meeting invites to Notion)
- You want to monitor shared Drive folders for new uploads or changes
