Connect Google Docs and Browse AI integrations

Add your app module to Make

Start by logging into your Make account and creating a new scenario. In the scenario builder, find and add the module for the app you want to connect, whether it's Browse AI or Google Docs. This module is the building block that allows Make to communicate with your chosen application. Once you've added the module to your scenario, you'll see a button to create a connection. Click on 'Create a connection' to begin linking Make with your external application. This is your first step toward automating tasks between your apps.

Name your connection

When setting up your connection, you can give it a custom name in the 'Connection name' field. While this step is optional, it's helpful if you plan to create multiple connections or want to keep your workspace organized. Choosing a descriptive name like 'My Company Google Docs' or 'Browse AI - Website Monitor' makes it easier to identify which connection you're using later. If you prefer to skip this step, Make will automatically assign a default name for you.

Sign in with your app account

After setting up the basic connection details, you'll need to sign into your app account to authenticate. For Google Docs, click 'Sign in with Google' and use your Google credentials. For Browse AI, follow the similar authentication steps specific to that service. This authentication step is important because it gives Make permission to access your app on your behalf. Make sure you're signing in with the correct account that has access to the documents, data, or resources you want to automate.

Grant the necessary permissions

During the sign-in process, you'll be asked to grant Make certain permissions to access your app. This might include permissions to read, create, or modify files and data within the application. These permission requests are normal and necessary for your automation to work. Review the permissions being requested and click to approve them. Make only requests what it needs to perform the automation tasks you set up. Without granting these permissions, the connection won't be able to function properly.

Save and start using your connection

Once you've signed in and granted permissions, click the 'Save' button to finalize your connection. This stores your connection settings securely within Make, allowing you to use it in your current scenario and any future scenarios you create. After saving, you'll see confirmation that your connection was successfully created. Your app module is now linked to your external application and ready to use in your automation workflows, allowing you to set up the specific tasks you want to accomplish.
