Google Services (Personal Account)

This guide helps you connect Gmail through a personal OAuth app in Google Cloud. Use it when standard authorization is not enough, or when you need full control over permissions. Below are all steps from project creation to authorization in Latenode.

Step 1: Create a project in Google Cloud

1. Open Google Cloud Console.
2. Click Create or select a project -> New project.

3. Enter a project name, keep default values, and click Create.

Make sure the new project is selected in the top menu.

Step 2: Enable the required API

1. In the left menu, open APIs & Services -> Library.

2. In the top search field, find Gmail API or any other Google service API you plan to use.
3. To add an API quickly, type its name in search and select it from the list.

4. Open the selected API and click Enable.

5. As a default set, it is recommended to enable Google Drive API, Gmail API, Google Sheets API, and Google Docs API.

Step 3: Configure the OAuth consent screen

1. In the left menu, click OAuth consent screen.

2. Click Get Started.

3. Enter an app name, for example Latenode Gmail.

4. In Audience, select External.

5. Add your email to contact information and complete the remaining setup screens.

6. In Audience, click Publish app so authorization becomes available.

Step 4: Create an OAuth client

1. In the menu, open Clients.
2. Click + Create Client.

3. Select Web application.
4. In Authorized redirect URIs, add:
   • https://auth-endpoint.com/redirected/index.html
   • https://app.latenode.com/redirected/index.html

5. Click Save or Create. You will see a popup that confirms the OAuth app was created successfully.

6. Copy Client ID and Client secret. Then continue with authorization in Latenode.

Step 5: Connect authorization in Latenode

1. In Latenode, open Gmail authorization creation.
2. If you see multiple options, choose the personal connection type: Personal App.
3. In the opened form, enter Client ID and Client secret.
4. In some nodes, you may also need to fill in Redirect URL manually. Use: https://auth-endpoint.com/redirected/index.html
5. Click Sign in with Google.
6. Grant access to your account.

Bulk scope addition

If you want to grant your app all required permissions at once, use bulk scope addition. Scopes are the permissions your personal app requests for Google data access. In Data Access, you can paste a full list of scopes instead of adding them one by one.
