Use a Google Workspace connection to authenticate Datadog Actions against Google Workspace APIs. This allows you to interact with Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Drive, Google Docs, Google Sheets, Google Forms, and Google Chat in your workflows and apps.

## Prerequisites

Before creating the connection in Datadog, you must set up an OAuth2 client in Google Cloud.

### 1. Create a Google Cloud project

If you don't already have a Google Cloud project:

1. Go to the [Google Cloud Console][1].
1. Click **Select a project** > **New Project**.
1. Enter a project name and click **Create**.

### 2. Enable the required APIs

Enable the Google APIs you plan to use in your workflows:

1. Navigate to [**APIs & Services** > **Library**][5] in the Google Cloud Console.
1. Search for and enable the APIs for the Google Workspace services you intend to use:

| Google Workspace service | API to enable |
|---|---|
| Gmail | Gmail API |
| Google Calendar | Google Calendar API |
| Google Drive | Google Drive API |
| Google Docs | Google Docs API |
| Google Sheets | Google Sheets API |
| Google Forms | Google Forms API |
| Google Chat | Google Chat API |

### 3. Configure the OAuth consent screen

1. Navigate to [**APIs & Services** > **OAuth consent screen**][6] in the Google Cloud Console.
1. Select a user type:
- **Internal**: Limits access to users in your Google Workspace organization. Recommended for most enterprise use cases.
- **External**: Allows any Google account to authorize. Requires app verification for production use.
1. Fill in the required app information fields and click **Save and Continue**.
1. Under **Scopes**, add the OAuth scopes required for the actions you intend to use. See the [scopes reference](#scopes-reference) below.
1. Complete the remaining steps and click **Back to Dashboard**.

### 4. Create OAuth2 credentials

'4. Create OAuth2 credentials' should use sentence-style capitalization.

1. Navigate to [**APIs & Services** > **Credentials**][7] in the Google Cloud Console.
1. Click **Create Credentials** > **OAuth client ID**.
1. For **Application type**, select **Web application**.
1. Under **Authorized JavaScript origins**, add the Datadog origin URL. This URL is displayed in the Datadog connection creation dialog when you select **Google Workspace**.
1. Under **Authorized redirect URIs**, add the Datadog OAuth callback URL. This URL is also displayed in the Datadog connection creation dialog when you select **Google Workspace**.
1. Click **Create**.
1. Copy the **Client ID** and **Client Secret** — you need these when creating the connection in Datadog.

## Create the connection in Datadog

1. From the [Action Catalog page][2], click the **Connections** tab.
1. Click **New Connection**.
1. Select the **Google Workspace** icon.
1. Enter a **Connection Name**.
1. Enter the **Client ID** and **Client Secret** from your Google Cloud OAuth2 credentials.
1. Select the **Scopes** required for the actions you plan to use. See the [scopes reference](#scopes-reference) below.
1. The **Authorize URL** and **Token URL** fields are pre-populated with Google's default OAuth2 endpoints. Leave these as-is unless you have a specific reason to change them.
1. Click **Create**.
1. In the authorization window that opens, sign in with the Google account you want to use and grant the requested permissions.
