Connect AODocs

This page describes how to connect AODocs to Agentspace Enterprise.

After you set up your data source and import data the first time, the data store syncs data from that source at a frequency that you select during setup.

Before you begin

Before setting up your connection:

  1. In addition to the third-party connector allowlist, this connector requires that your project is added to an additional allowlist. To be added to this allowlist, contact your Agentspace Enterprise account team.

  2. Set up access control for your data source. For information about setting up access control, see Use data source access control.

  3. A Google Workspace super administrator must install the AODocs app in your Google Workspace.

Before you create a connector, an AODocs administrator must obtain OAuth 2.0 credentials to use in integrating with Agentspace Enterprise. Use the following instructions to create a client ID and secret, and have your client ID added to the allowlist.

To obtain OAuth 2.0 credentials:

  1. Copy your AODocs instance ID (the domain URL of your AODocs instance). You can find this in the URL string following aodocs-domain=, or obtain it from the AODocs website.
