Google Contacts

Productivity

Google provides a wide range of services including Gmail, Drive, Calendar, Docs, and more.

How to connect it

  1. In SLX, open your connections and choose Google Contacts.
  2. A Google consent window opens, listing the access below. Review it and approve.
  3. Google returns you to SLX and the connection is stored against your workspace.
  4. Ask for something in chat. SLX resolves it to a Google Contacts call and runs it. If a token expires or access is revoked, it will ask you to reconnect.

Access it asks for

The exact scopes requested when you connect Google Contacts through Google, shown verbatim so you can check them against the consent screen before approving.

One consent screen, several apps. Google Contacts shares its Google connection with Gmail, Google Drive and Google Calendar. Connecting any one of them grants this whole set — not just the Google Contacts portion.
ScopeWhat it grants

Signing in is a different grant. If you sign in to SLX with Google rather than connecting Google Contacts as an integration, a separate consent screen asks for the broader set below — including full mailbox and Drive access. Both grants are real; which one applies depends on how you connected.
