How to setup clients google account without having to reauthorize weekly

How To

Currently I am having trouble figuring out how I can onboard a client into make.com without having to reauthorize the Google Test App in Google Console. If I am just creating an automation for someone’s website and emails, why or how would I be able to get verified from google. Yes I do understand the reason why I need to reauthorize, I just don’t understand how I can meet the requirements for having to have a Privacy Policy for an internal system and web app being built for a client.

Do I need to include a privacy policy for a website that only the person behind the website is involved in? How can I do this for an internal system that is built strictly for a clients credentials?

Someone please help :frowning:

Welcome to the Make community!

Your client needs to be using Google Workspace Email and not Gmail, OR, use a custom GCP app and publish it to production, and create a new connection using it.

How to Connect and Use Google APIs in Make!

0. Prerequisites

1. Enable Google APIs

2. OAuth Client

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

  • 2a. Create “OAuth client ID” Credentials

  • 2b. Insert all the Google Redirect URIs for your app

    302×200 7.32 KB

    Insert All Google Redirect URIs

    Here are some commonly-needed 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.

    https://www.make.com/oauth/cb/oauth2
https://www.make.com/oauth/cb/google
https://www.make.com/oauth/cb/google/
https://www.make.com/oauth/cb/google-custom
https://www.make.com/oauth/cb/google-restricted
https://www.make.com/oauth/cb/google-cloud-speech
https://www.make.com/oauth/cb/google-search-console
https://www.make.com/oauth/cb/google-analytics-4
https://www.make.com/oauth/cb/google-ads2
https://www.make.com/oauth/cb/google-ads2/
https://www.make.com/oauth/cb/youtube
https://www.make.com/oauth/cb/chrome

    Including These Google Redirect URIs

    You are also required to insert the legacy URLs below from the old Integromat system that not been migrated to Make yet (same as the above list, but replace “make” with “integromat”):

    https://www.integromat.com/oauth/cb/oauth2
https://www.integromat.com/oauth/cb/google
https://www.integromat.com/oauth/cb/google/
https://www.integromat.com/oauth/cb/google-custom
https://www.integromat.com/oauth/cb/google-restricted
https://www.integromat.com/oauth/cb/google-cloud-speech
https://www.integromat.com/oauth/cb/google-search-console
https://www.integromat.com/oauth/cb/google-analytics-4
https://www.integromat.com/oauth/cb/google-ads2
https://www.integromat.com/oauth/cb/google-ads2/
https://www.integromat.com/oauth/cb/youtube
https://www.integromat.com/oauth/cb/chrome

    Note 1: Due to inconsistencies in Make’s implementation of the connections, there are two separate entries where has one is google and another ending in a forward slash google/ - you might need one or the other, so we have to use both!

    Note 2: Once you’ve set these up, you can use/reuse the same Google OAuth App ID + Secret for all the supported Google connections and modules on Make - you’ll just have to enable the relevant Google APIs!

3. OAuth consent screen

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

  • 3a. Insert Two Authorised Domains

    • Insert make.com and integromat.com

    • Fill in other required fields

    • Click “Save and Continue”.

      390×301 14.1 KB

  • 3b. Add All Scopes

    • Click “Add or Remove Scopes”

    • Select 100 “Rows per page”, for each page, check all the rows, OR

    • Manually type in the scopes you need

    • Click “Update” at the bottom

    1476×1156 182 KB

  • 3c. Step through and go to dashboard

    At the last step/page, click “BACK TO DASHBOARD” instead of “Prepare for Verification”

  • 3d. Publish your GCP OAuth2 app

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

    • To do this, go back to “OAuth consent screen”

    • Then click the “PUBLISH APP” button

    • Then click the “CONFIRM” button

4. Create New Connection (HTTP, or respective Google module)

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 callback URLs in step 2:

  • 4a. Specific Google module (Sheets, Docs, Drive, Gmail, etc.)

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

    (Gmail example)

    525×643 65.1 KB

    OR,

  • 4b. HTTP OAuth 2.0 Request module

    708×401 44.2 KB

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

Thanks for the reply. So the main questions for me since I know how to get it setup and working.

I can Publish the App on google cloud and not have to go through verification and that will stop from me having to reauthorize weekly?

Thanks for responding!

Yes, it only needs to be published. Verification can be ignored if you’re the only user, or only have a handful of clients.

Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues.
