Claude can send Gmail emails and manage Google Drive files on paid plans; Voice adds Calendar and Slack
Claude can take direct actions in users' email and file systems on their behalf, extending its role from a conversational assistant to one that executes tasks inside productivity tools.
Claude, available to paid subscribers, can draft and send email replies in Gmail and manage files in Google Drive through the connectors menu. Users control when Claude requires explicit approval before acting. Claude Voice can also connect to Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Docs, and Slack to deliver a hands-free sequential morning briefing, with Anthropic recommending calendar first, then urgent emails and Slack tied to those meetings, then top priorities and approval flags.
Anthropic on August 19 gave paid Claude subscribers the ability to draft and send Gmail replies and manage Google Drive files through the connectors menu, with users controlling when explicit approval is required.
A separate update to the Claude Voice guide added Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Docs, and Slack connections for a sequential hands-free morning briefing, following a recommended flow from calendar to urgent emails and meeting-tied Slack messages to top priorities and approval flags.

I send a short email each morning with the stories that moved. If you would rather just read here, that works too.
