What if the tool I use isn't on this list?

Use the Actions framework. Workspace Agents can call any REST API with OpenAPI specs. The integration is 1–3 hours of work versus a native connector's zero. For ERPs, vertical SaaS, or internal APIs, Actions is the path.

Can I use Zapier as a bridge?

Yes. Zapier exposes an Actions-compatible interface that gives agents access to 6,000+ Zapier-integrated tools. Best for cases where you already have Zapier running and don't want to manage the connector yourself.

Do connectors respect user-level permissions?

Yes. When a user invokes an agent, the connector inherits that user's permissions in the source system. The agent can only read/write what that user could. Admins can further restrict via connector scoping.

How often does the connector catalog expand?

OpenAI has said monthly updates. Known-pending connectors (as of April 2026): Zendesk, Intercom, Front, Airtable, Asana, ClickUp, Monday, Zoom, Dropbox.

What's the difference between a connector and an Action?

Connectors are native integrations OpenAI built and maintains — you just authorize them. Actions are OpenAPI-defined tools you (or a consultant) wire up per-agent. Connectors are faster to use; Actions are more flexible.

OpenAI Workspace Agents Connectors: Full List + Gotchas

Every native connector OpenAI shipped with Workspace Agents at launch, grouped by category. What each connector reads, writes, and — critically — the gotchas that bite teams during setup.

Google Workspace

Connector	Reads	Writes
Google Drive	Docs, Sheets, Slides, PDFs in shared folders	New documents, edits to existing
Gmail	Inbox, threads, labels	Drafts, labels, sent mail (with approval)
Google Calendar	Events, attendees, free/busy	New events, updates, RSVPs
Google Sheets	Named ranges, tabs	Row/cell updates, new tabs
Google Docs	Document text, comments	New docs, suggestions, comments

Google Drive gotcha: Permission inheritance from folder structure. Scope to specific folders, not 'all Drive.'

Gmail gotcha: OAuth scope for 'send' is broad — use 'modify' and keep send behind human review for first 30 days.

Google Calendar gotcha: External vs internal attendee detection depends on domain filters you configure.

Google Sheets gotcha: Formulas break if the agent overwrites a formula cell. Define read-only ranges explicitly.

Google Docs gotcha: Agents editing live docs create real-time changes. Prefer suggestion mode for drafts.

Microsoft 365

Connector	Reads	Writes
OneDrive	Files, folders in user's drive	New files, edits
Outlook	Mail, calendar, contacts	Drafts, calendar events
Teams	Channel messages (where permitted), files	Channel posts (with approval)

OneDrive gotcha: Enterprise policies (Purview DLP) override connector permissions.

Outlook gotcha: Shared mailboxes require delegate access configured before the connector sees them.

Teams gotcha: Tenant policies frequently disable external-bot posting by default. Coordinate with IT.

Messaging

Connector	Reads	Writes
Slack	Channel messages, threads, DMs	Messages, threads, reactions

Slack gotcha: Rate limits hit fast with chatty agents — use scheduled posts, not continuous monitoring, for most use cases.

CRM

Connector	Reads	Writes
HubSpot	Contacts, deals, companies, engagement timeline	Notes, tasks, properties, engagement
Salesforce	Accounts, opportunities, contacts, custom objects	Notes, tasks, fields

HubSpot gotcha: Custom properties need to be mapped explicitly in the agent spec — naming inconsistencies are the #1 source of bugs.

Salesforce gotcha: Governor limits apply. Heavy agents need careful query design to avoid exceeding daily API quotas.

Dev tools

Connector	Reads	Writes
GitHub	Repos, issues, PRs, code	Issues, PR comments, PR creation
Linear	Issues, projects, cycles, comments	New issues, updates, comments

GitHub gotcha: Fine-grained tokens are preferred over classic PATs. Scope to specific repos, not the whole org.

Linear gotcha: Workflow states per team can differ — hardcode the state transitions per team the agent touches.

Docs & notes

Connector	Reads	Writes
Notion	Pages, databases, blocks	New pages, block updates, database rows

Notion gotcha: API access requires per-page integration sharing. Parent-page sharing doesn't always propagate.

Data warehouse

Connector	Reads	Writes
BigQuery	Queries against authorized datasets	Results to configured sheets/docs (not direct warehouse writes)
Snowflake	Queries via configured warehouse	Results to configured destinations

BigQuery gotcha: Use service accounts with row-level security. Cost-monitor — agents running frequent large queries add up fast.

Snowflake gotcha: Warehouse auto-suspend interacts badly with bursty agent queries — tune resume/suspend behavior.

When native isn't enough: Actions and Zapier

For tools not in the native catalog, Workspace Agents support the Actions framework — OpenAPI-defined REST endpoints that the agent can call as tools. Any API with a well-formed OpenAPI spec can become an agent-callable action in a few hours of work. For tools without a spec, it's 1–3 hours to define one.

Zapier acts as a bridge for the long tail. A single Actions-compatible integration with Zapier exposes 6,000+ tools. Use this when the ROI of building a proper Action doesn't justify the custom work.
