See Create an agentic workflow for information about adding AI agents to create agentic workflows as per your requirement and provide the required trigger.

      You can also search for other available AI agents and add them to your agentic workflow. See Find AI agents for more information.

    • See Now Assist AI agents for information about AI agents.

    Available AI agents include:

    Google Docs document management AI agent Manage documents (that is, create document, create header or footer, get document details, search text in document) in Google Docs.

    There might be AI agents installed with the Now Assist application that are not used in agentic workflows. To learn how to see all agents that are available to you, see Find AI agents.

    Note:
    Ensure that the user running an AI agent has the required roles and permissions to access data or perform operations on data in the table that is associated with the AI agent.

    Connection and credential alias requirements

    Integration Hub uses aliases to manage connection and credential information, and OAuth credentials. Using an alias eliminates the need to configure multiple credentials and connection information profiles when using multiple environments. If the connection or credential information changes, you don't need to update any actions that use the connection.
