Google API App Setup |
To set up a Google Workspace® object, the constructor requires a Client ID and Client Secret, which are obtained only from Google via the Google API Console.
Follow the steps below to obtain a Client ID and Client Secret. After that, the next process involves allowing access to the needed Google APIs. See Allow Access to Google APIs.

While testing, when the PxPlus Google Workspace object is created and the login window is opened, a message warns you that this app has not been verified and is still being tested. You are advised to continue only if you know and trust the developer who invited you. This warning will go away once you publish the app after testing.
Once testing is done, you can publish the app, which makes it available for others (besides Test Users) and removes the unverified warning. Publication requires Google to verify the app, and Google informs you about what this process requires when you publish the app.
