Integromat Support Team Updated July 09, 2020 22:59

In this article, we will show you how to create your own project in Google Cloud Console and a custom OAuth client. This is useful for connecting restricted Google services (e.g. Google Drive, or Gmail) to Integromat.

The following procedure is intended for:

Personal use (@gmail.com and @googlemail users)
Internal use (G Suite users that prefer to use a custom OAuth client)

Prerequisites:

a Google Account

Follow these steps to create a custom OAuth client for Google services:

1. Sign in to Google Cloud Platform using your Google credentials.

2. Open the Dashboard and Click the CREATE PROJECT button.

3. Enter the desired project name and click the CREATE button.

4. Click the ENABLE APIS AND SERVICES button.
