1. Go to Settings from the nav-bar, and open the Integrations tab.

2. In the list of integrations, find Google Drive and click Connect.

3. You’ll be redirected to the Google sign-in page. Select the account you want to index files from.

4. Grant ClearFeed permission for accessing your Google Drive.

5. After granting access, you’ll be redirected back to ClearFeed, and the integration will be complete.

Indexing Files from Drive

With the integration complete, you can now index documents from your Google Drive account to be used as a source of knowledge for answering questions using below steps:

1. In the ClearFeed WebApp, go to AI → Knowledge Sources from the left navigation bar.

2. Hover over the Add Knowledge Source dropdown in the top-right corner and select Google Drive.

3. A side drawer will appear. Fill in the following details:

   • Name – The display title for this Knowledge Source in ClearFeed.

   • Tags – Identifiers to categorize and organize the Knowledge Source. Google Drive will be added as a default tag, but you can add more based on your needs.

   • Files – Select the files to index.

     • You can choose multiple files from the same folder.

     • Selections are cleared when navigating to another folder.

     • To pick files from multiple folders, finish selecting from the current folder, click Add Files, and repeat.

   • Auto Reindex Regularly – Enable to automatically reindex this Knowledge Source every 24 hours.

4. Click Save. The Knowledge Source will begin indexing immediately (status: In Progress) or be queued to index soon (status: Initiated). For more details, see Managing Knowledge Sources.

Migrating a deprecated Google Drive Knowledge Source to new Knowledge Source

If you have an older Google Drive Knowledge Source, recreate it using the steps above to move it to ClearFeed's native Google Drive indexing. Select the same files that were used in the old Knowledge Source.

Once the new Google Drive Knowledge Source has been created and indexed successfully, you can delete the old Google Drive Knowledge Source. Deleting the old Knowledge Source only removes it from ClearFeed; it does not delete content from Google Drive.
