  3. Go to APIs & Services > OAuth consent screen.
  4. Click Get started.
  5. Enter an App name and select a User support email, then click Next.
  6. Choose Internal (Google Workspace only) or External (any Google account), then click Next.
  7. Enter a contact email address, then click Next.
  8. Agree to the policy and click Continue.
  9. Click Create.

Create OAuth client credentials#

  1. Go to APIs & Services > Credentials.

  4. Under Authorized JavaScript origins, add the base URL of your Operately deployment.
Examples:

  1. Under Authorized redirect URIs, add the same base URL followed by /accounts/auth/google/callback.
Examples:
