Usage:

​
Setting up the Google Drive File Picker integration

​
Create a Google Cloud Project

To use the Google Drive connector, first create a Google Cloud Console project and

Create a project at https://console.cloud.google.com/projectcreate

​
Enable the Google Picker API

Next navigate to the Enabled APIs & Services menu: Press + Enable APIs & Services and enable the Google Picker API. This allows your OAuth application to download files that your tenant explicitly gives you access to.

​
Creating an OAuth application

Next, navigate to the Google Auth Platform to create your OAuth application. Create an external application with the support emails that you would like to surface to your tenants. Next create an OAuth client with the callback https://hotglue.xyz/callback: Make sure to copy your client id and secret to be later used in the hotglue dashboard. Finally, navigate to the Audience tab to publish your application. Note that until the application is verified by google, your tenants will see a warning before authenticating.

​
Generating a client side developer token

In order to use Google’s client-side file picker, you’ll need to generate a developer token for the hotglue widget to use. On the lefthand sidebar, navigate to APIs & Services > Credentials. Next press + Create Credentials > API key to get an API key. Once its generated, we recommend restricted its scope to just the Google Picker API.

​
Getting your App ID

Finally, in order to support the Google Picker API, hotglue requires your Google Cloud project number (AKA app id). You can find the file picker by navigating to the hot dog icon in the top right corner and pressing project settings.

​
Authorization URL

The proper authorization url for the Google Picker API is: 
"https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/v2/auth?scope=https%3A//www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.file&access_type=offline&prompt=consent&include_granted_scopes=true&response_type=code"
If using Google Drive in a unidirectional (v1) flow, you can configure this by adding the following to your Google Drive availableSource: 
"tap_url": "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/v2/auth?scope=https%3A//www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.file&access_type=offline&prompt=consent&include_granted_scopes=true&response_type=code"
If using Google Drive in a bidirectional (v2) flow, you can add the following to your availableConnector: 
"auth_url": "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/v2/auth?scope=https%3A//www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.file&access_type=offline&prompt=consent&include_granted_scopes=true&response_type=code"

​
Configuring your Google Console application for the widget

To support using the Google Picker API in the widget, you can add the following to your availableSource or availableConnector: 
"google_tokens": {
   "app_id": "<Your Project Number / App Id>",
   "api_key": "<Your Google Cloud Client-Side API Key>"
 },
