Google Workspace Multi-Account Skill
Overview
When the user has connected multiple Google accounts (e.g. personal and work), you can operate across all of them simultaneously for read operations, or target a specific account for write operations.
Account Discovery
At the start of each task the system prompt lists all connected accounts:
| Label | Email | Status |
|----------|--------------------------|-----------|
| Work | alice@company.com | connected |
| Personal | alice@gmail.com | connected |
Core Routing Rules
| Operation type | When account is omitted |
When account is specified |
|---|---|---|
| Read (list, search, get, free-time) | Queries all accounts | Queries only the specified account |
| Write (send, reply, create, update, delete, archive) | Ask the user which account to use | Uses the specified account |
How to Specify an Account
Use either the label or the full email address:
google_gmail(command: "send ...", account: "Work")
google_gmail(command: "send ...", account: "alice@company.com")
google_calendar(command: "create ...", account: "Personal")
Common Multi-Account Workflows
Check all unread emails
google_gmail(command: "list --query 'is:unread'")
Returns results from all connected accounts, each labelled with its account.
Find free time across all calendars
google_calendar(command: "free-time --duration 60 --days 5")
Merges busy time from all connected accounts to find truly free slots.
Send from a specific account
Always confirm with the user which account to send from before calling:
google_gmail(command: "send --to 'bob@example.com' --subject 'Hi' --body 'Hello!'", account: "Work")
Reply to an email (correct account is important)
Read the email first to see which account received it, then reply from that same account:
google_gmail(command: "reply <messageId> --body 'Thanks!'", account: "Work")
Error Cases
- Account not found: If the specified label/email doesn't match any connected account, the tool returns the list of available accounts. Update the
accountparameter and retry. - No accounts connected: Direct the user to Settings → Integrations → Google Accounts to connect an account.
- Token expired: If an account shows status
expired, the user needs to reconnect it in Settings → Integrations → Google Accounts.
