# Authenticate Google Tools

This guide details how to authenticate Google tools within Airia using Airia's built-in OAuth 2.0 connector. This allows your models to interact securely with your Google services.

## Supported Google Tools

Airia currently supports authentication for the following Google tools:

* **Gmail**
* **Google Calendar**
* **Google Contacts**
* **Google Docs**
* **Google Slides**

## Add a Google Tool with Authentication

Follow these steps to add and authenticate a Google tool:

1. **Select a Google Tool:**
   * Navigate to the **Tools** section in your Airia dashboard.
   * From the library, select the desired Google tool (e.g., **Gmail**, **Google Calendar**).
2. **Configure Tool Settings:**
   * On the tool configuration page, review the default settings.
   * You can use the tool as is, or click the **Advanced** screen to customize its settings if needed.
3. **Choose Authentication Method:**
   * In the authentication fields dropdown, select **Google Authentication**.
4. **Select Google Credential:**
   * A credential selection page will appear. Choose **Google** as your credential provider. This will initiate the OAuth flow.
   * Follow the on-screen prompts to authorize Airia to access your Google account.
5. **Save and Add to Agent:**
   * Click **Save** to add the configured tool to your library.
   * Add the tool to an agent to begin using it.

## Verify Tool Execution

After adding the Google tool to an agent, execute the agent to verify that the tool works correctly:
