What’s changing
When your users sign in to third-party apps using the “Sign in with Google” option (single sign-on) or use OAuth to share their data with those apps, you can control what access those apps have to your organization’s Google data using
app access controls.
Admins currently can configure the third-party apps as “Trusted”, giving them access to all OAuth scopes or as “Limited”, giving them access to scopes only from Google services which are not restricted. Beginning today, we’re giving admins another layer of granular control for third-party apps. Specifically, you can now configure apps to be limited by selected
OAuth 2.0 Scopes for Google APIs, such as
Drive or
Gmail scopes. This helps ensure that these apps do not gain additional access without admin consent based on new API scopes that they might request in the future, keeping data access limited to only what is deemed absolutely necessary by admins.

What’s changing
Last year, we introduced the ability to pull rich data from apps directly into Google Docs with third-party smart chips. Today, we’re taking this a step further by enabling third-party partners, such as
Lucidspark,
Lucidchart, and
Zoho Projects, to create smart chips or resources like tasks or flowcharts that end users can add and edit in their Google Docs.
To access
third-party smart chips, an admin or user must first install a partner’s add-on from the
Google Workspace Marketplace and then users can search for items to create using the @ menu in Docs. After the item is selected, a creation form will appear that includes text input fields relevant to the type of resource being generated. Once the third-party smart chip is inserted, users can hover over it and view a preview of the content.
Who’s impacted
Admins, end users and developers (partners)
Why you’d use it
This feature expands upon your ability to add, view and engage with critical information from third party apps by letting you create third-party resource content.
Additional details
Other third-party partners, such as
Jira & Confluence, plan to add resource creation to their existing third-party smart chip add-ons in the Google Workspace Marketplace later this year.

What’s changing
We’re giving meeting hosts and co-hosts the ability to control the use of add-ons during meetings* with a new setting. We hope this new setting helps keep meetings on task and productive by allowing hosts to control access to add-ons as they deem appropriate. Note that this setting does not impact single participant add-on experiences.
The setting will be ON by default, which means all meeting participants can start an add-on activity.
To configure this setting, from the bottom right of your screen select Host Controls (lock icon) > Meeting Activities > Let contributors share add-on activities
When the setting is turned OFF, only the hosts can start an add-ons and ask meeting participants to join the add-on activity. If other participants try starting a collaboration with an add-on, they will get an error.
*Soon you’ll be able to configure this setting from the Calendar event — we’ll share more information here on the Workspace Updates blog when that becomes available.
Getting started
Admins: There is no admin impact or action required.End users: This feature will be ON by default. It can only be configured from laptop and desktop devices, however it will apply to all meeting participants, including those using mobile devices. Your setting configuration will apply to all future instances of
recurring meetings.Visit the Help Center to learn more about
using add-ons with Google Meet.

1 New update
Unless otherwise indicated, the features below are available to all Google Workspace customers, and are fully launched or in the process of rolling out.

If not, each stage of rollout should take no more than 15 business days to complete.
Send emails about your files to collaborators using the sharing dialog in Workspace apps
Once a file is shared, you have the option to “notify” someone when they’ve been added to view, comment on, or edit a file. We’re building upon this by introducing the ability to send an email to any collaborator if you are a file owner or editor. This is especially useful if you’ve recently made updates to the content or if you’d like to pose a question to the group. To email collaborators, click “Share” > click on the “Email people on this file” icon next to “People with access” > select the email recipients and add a custom message. | Rolling out to
Rapid Release domains now; launch to
Scheduled Release domains planned for August 26, 2024. | Available to Google Workspace customers, Google Workspace Individual subscribers, and users with personal Google accounts. | Visit the Help Center to learn more about

The IFTTT integration enables users to automate Chat with 1,000+ of today’s most popular apps. For example, Chat users can now set up workflows, like sending an onboarding email to a customer that’s added as a new member to a space, or sending a message to a space when a new file is added to a Google Drive, Dropbox, or Box folder. Using the integration, Chat users can also stay up-to-date on all of their communities by having new Discord, X, and Facebook mentions or tags automatically posted to a space.
Using the UKG Flow app, users and employees can perform common UKG actions, such as those included in the Timekeeping & Scheduling functionalities of
UKG Pro WFM.
With these integrations, users can accomplish more in their workday by completing common tasks using daily productivity apps, without ever leaving Chat.
