Google Vault
Add Google Vault to your product for your customers, and give your AI agents governed access to it.
Embed a Google Vault integration so your customers can drive retention and eDiscovery work from inside your product instead of a separate console. Each customer authorises their own Workspace tenant, so access is scoped per tenant and every call is logged. fastn handles OAuth, pagination over large result sets, and API upkeep, and exports are throttled so a bulk job does not exhaust a customer's allowance.
In your product
Embedded for your customers. Per-tenant auth, no per-customer code, maintained by fastn.
Let customers create and list matters from your product so a hold starts where the case is already tracked.
Place or release a hold on the accounts a matter covers, without an admin switching consoles.
Run a saved query and read the results into your product for review.
Start an export and track it to completion so downstream review work can begin.
For your AI agents
Governed, audited access for the agents you build, through the MCP server.
An agent lists open matters and the holds attached to each before summarising case coverage.
An agent starts an export within governed permissions, with the action logged and attributable.
An agent checks whether an account is under hold before a workflow touches it.
Example prompt
List matters open longer than 90 days and show which accounts each one holds.
Set up Google Vault in 4 steps
- 01Open the Google Vault connector from your fastn dashboard.
- 02Have each customer authorise their own Workspace tenant with the Vault scopes you need.
- 03Map the matters, holds, and export settings your product uses, then enable actions.
- 04Call them from your product, or expose them to an agent through the MCP server.
Why teams use the Google Vault integration
What you get by embedding it with fastn instead of building it yourself.
- Ship a Google Vault integration without building it. Your customers connect their own Vault account inside your product and work their matters, holds and exports there, with no per-customer code on your side.
- Handle the part that actually costs time: Vault is an administrative and legal tool, so it reaches content the searching user could not open themselves. Who may run a search is the whole design question, not an afterthought.
- One integration serves your product and your agents. Every search, hold and export is logged per tenant, which matters here more than anywhere, because a Vault action is evidence.

Google Vault integration FAQ
How do I add a Google Vault integration to my product?
Enable the Google Vault connector in your fastn dashboard, then let each customer authenticate their own Google Vault account. fastn handles the OAuth flow, token storage and refresh per tenant, so there is no Google Vault client code in your app and no per-customer branch in your codebase. Setup is 4 steps.
Do my customers each connect their own Google Vault account?
Yes. Every connection is scoped to the individual customer, so each authorises their own Google Vault account and only ever sees their own records, datasets and fields. That per-tenant isolation is the point of an embedded integration: you support the long tail of customer setups without maintaining an integration per customer.
Can AI agents use this Google Vault integration?
Yes. The same connection is exposed to your agents through the fastn MCP gateway, with permissions scoped per tenant and every call audited. An agent lists open matters and the holds attached to each before summarising case coverage.
Who maintains the Google Vault integration?
fastn does. When Google Vault changes an endpoint, deprecates a field or alters its auth, the fix lands in the connector rather than in your backlog, and your customers' connections keep working.
Who is allowed to run a Google Vault search from my product?
Only the roles the customer grants. Vault deliberately reaches content the searching user cannot open in Gmail or Drive, so access should be limited to the people who already hold that authority in the customer's organisation, and every search is logged.
How are large Google Vault exports handled?
Exports are asynchronous: you start one, then poll or take an event when it completes. Large matters can take a long time, so your product should treat an export as a job with a status rather than a request that returns.
What can I build with the Google Vault integration?
A common starting point: create and list matters from your product so a hold starts where the case is already tracked. Teams also use it for the other use cases listed above, and expose it to agents for governed reads and writes.
How much does the Google Vault integration cost?
It is included. Pricing is based on connected accounts, not on how many connectors you enable, so adding Google Vault does not change your per-connector cost. You can start free with 3 connected accounts.
