Connecting to Google services using custom OAuth client

[Clayton]

Hi Make community,

I have a question regarding connecting Google API. I tried to create an automation involving Gmail. I followed all the steps in this page [Connecting to Google services using custom OAuth client], but I got an error message when I tried to connect in Make. ( Please see the images.) Is it because of the verification requirement? I didn’t see the verification requirement guide in the page.

Greatly appreciate any help and support. Thanks.

Welcome to the Make community!

You do NOT need to do the “Verification Status” section.

Full instructions provided below:

How to create an OAuth app in GCP: https://www.make.com/en/help/tutorials/calling-google-apis-via-the--http-make-a-oauth-2-0-request--module ← FOLLOW THIS

1a. Enable the relevant API

Find the relevant API here: Google Cloud console
Go to API page, end click “Enable”

1b. Add the relevant scopes

Direct Link: https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials/consent/edit

2. Insert all the known Google Redirect URIs for your app

Direct Link: https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials

Here are some known redirect URIs you need for your Google Cloud Console OAuth app. If you set these up, you can reuse the same GCP app for other Google apps and modules on Make.

Once you’ve set these up, you can use/reuse the same Make connection for all the supported Google apps & modules on Make - you’ll only have to enable the APIs for your custom app.

3. Publish your GCP OAuth2 app

Direct Link: https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials/consent

You might need to set your OAuth application to “Production”, otherwise the credentials expire very frequently.

1. To do this, go to menu item “OAuth consent screen”

or click here https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials/consent

2. Then click the button below if the Publishing status is not “In production”

4. Set up connection (HTTP OAuth, or respective Google App)

A. HTTP OAuth2

You need a “Authorize parameters” key of redirect_uri with the above Make OAuth2 callback URL.

You can find the Client ID and Client Secret in the OAuth2 app you created in GCP, on the right-hand side of where you inserted the 8 callback URLs in step 2:

B. Google App (Sheets, Docs, Drive, Gmail, etc.)

Insert the GCP app client ID and secret here BEFORE clicking “Sign in”
