Set up assistant actions

With assistant actions, the assistant can take actions on behalf of your users in connected applications.

For example, users can ask the assistant to perform actions such as creating calendar events in Google Calendar or editing issues in Jira Cloud.

Your end users can accomplish tasks in your connected applications by chatting with the assistant through the app. When an end user asks the assistant to do something, the assistant automatically determines whether this can be done using an available action that the administrator has enabled. If needed, the assistant asks the user follow-up questions about the task, then performs the requested action with confirmation from the user.

You can turn on assistant actions for the following connectors. For information on how to set up actions for each of these connectors, see the respective page:

To add actions for a connector, you must configure an OAuth 2.0 (3LO) app with action-specific scopes and redirect URIs. This process is similar to configuring OAuth 2.0 (3LO) apps for search. However, because some configuration settings for actions are different from settings used for search, actions require a separate connector and OAuth 2.0 (3LO) app setup from search.
