On this page, you will be prompted to go set up your consent screen. Your consent screen is what pops up when a user is going to connect their Google Sheets to your platform. To configure it, click the Configure Consent Screen button.

Now on the OAuth consent screen page, select External and then click the Create button.

Go ahead and fill in all of the required information. Once you are done, click the Save and Continue button at the bottom.

You will now be taken to this page to show you all the details of your registration. At this point, you should head back to the Credentials tab that you see on the left side of your screen.

Once again, select the OAuth client ID dropdown option.
