Connecting and authorizing Google services for automation.
Create and configure a Google Cloud Platform project for Google Personal Oauth
Notes:
You need to follow the procedure if you use an email address that ends with @gmail
or @googlemail
.
To create a new project or work in the existing one, you need to have the serviceusage.services.enable
permission. If you don’t have this permission, ask the Google Cloud Platform Project Owner or Project IAM Admin to grant it to you.
To connect to Latenode using your own client credentials, you can create and configure a project in the Google Cloud Platform.
