HTTP API connector An HTTP API described by an OpenAPI spec, not an MCP server. Calls go to `https://alertcenter.googleapis.com/` and carry the credential the connect dialog asks for. ## What the skill can do API connector: 11 actions, as they appear in the skill panel. 6 of them create, change or delete something in Google Alerts; mark those under **These actions need approval** when you add the skill to an agent. * **Feedback service** (5): Alert Center Alert Management List Alerts, Alert Center Alert Management Get Alert By Id, Alert Center Feedback Service List Feedback For Alert, Alert Center Feedback Service Create Feedback For Alert, Alert Center Alert Management Get Alert Metadata By Id * **Alert management** (4): Center Alert Management Delete Alert By Id, Center Alert Management Undelete Alert By Id, Center Alert Management Batch Delete Alerts, Center Alert Management Batch Undelete Alerts * **Settings management** (2): Alert Center Settings Management Get Customer Settings, Alert Center Settings Management Update Customer Settings ## Connect Google Alerts In Xpander Chat, open the agent's settings, click **Add skill**, and search for **Google Alerts**. The connect dialog asks for a connection name and whether the connection is for the **Organization** (one shared account) or **Personal** (your own account, so the agent acts with your permissions where systems allow). On an agent other people use, a personal connection runs their requests as you unless the binding requires each person's own sign-in; see [whose credential a shared agent uses](/use/agents/permissions#whose-credential-a-shared-agent-uses). The dialog shows the credential this skill needs and where it goes; the value is stored in the vault and attached at the moment of use. Calls go to `https://alertcenter.googleapis.com/`. ## Give an agent the Google Alerts skill Once Google Alerts is connected, any agent you can edit may be given the skill: open the agent's settings, click **Add skill**, and choose **Google Alerts**. Enable only the action groups the agent needs, and mark the actions that should wait for a named person's sign-off under **These actions need approval**. Which skills exist for your organization, and who may add them, is decided by your admins; see [Skills](/use/skills). ## Related Resources * [Skills](/use/skills)
