Registering application for synchronization with Google (for on-site users only)
On-site users need to register their Creatio application in Google before synchronization.
Registration procedure can be divided into two steps:
-
First, register a Google account and set it up, enable access for to the Calendar API, and generate the keys (“Client ID” and “Client Secret”) needed for integration.
-
Second, enter the received “Client ID” and “Client Secret” keys in Creatio for the values of the [Google Service Access Key] and [Google Secret Access Key] system settings respectively.
Setting up an account and receiving Google keys
To configure your Google account:
1.Follow the https://code.google.com/apis/console/ link.
2.Log in to your Google account.

13.In the [Authorized JavaScript origins] field, enter your Creatio website address.
14.In the [Authorized redirect URLs] enter the url of the application to which the data will be sent to. The page address has to contain this prefix “/0/ViewPage.aspx?Id=3b22f0ff-034a-48da-8758-a0660e5a26ff”. For example, https://creatioapp.com/0/ViewPage.aspx?Id=3b22f0ff-034a-48da-8758-a0660e5a26ff.
Attention
For on-site applications, deployed on a dedicated domain and accessible only by a specific IP or from the internal network, enter “localhost” in the [Authorized JavaScript origins] field. In the [Authorized redirect URLs] enter the IP and server port, on which the application is deployed, and a special prefix. For example, ip:port/0/ViewPage.aspx?Id=3b22f0ff-034a-48da-8758-a0660e5a26ff
15.Click [Create]. A pop-up message with your client ID and client secret will be displayed.
16.Enter your Google keys in the corresponding system settings in Creatio.
Attention
For the Google APIs projects added after 05/11/2017 you have to additionally verify the application . Without this step, the “invalid_scope” error will be thrown to a user at integration attempt.
How to enter a Google key into Creatio
Second, enter the received “Client ID” and “Client Secret” keys in Creatio for the values of the [Google Services Access Key] and [Google Secret Access Key] system settings respectively. To do this:
1.Open the Creatio application.
2.Open the System Designer by clicking 
in the top right corner of the application window.
3.Click [System settings] in the [System setup] block (Fig. 11).

4.Select the [Google Services Access Key] system setting in the list -> [Open].
5.In the [Default value] field of the system setting page that opens, enter the “Client ID” key (the text in the [Here is your client ID] field of the Google message) you received during your Creatio registration in Google and click [Save] -> [Close].
6.Select the [Google Secret Access Key] system setting in the list -> [Open].
7.In the [Default value] field of the system setting page that opens, enter the “Client secret” key (the text in the [Here is your client secret] field of the Google message) you received during your Creatio registration in Google and click [Save] -> [Close].
As a result, users will be able to synchronize their tasks and contacts with their Google calendar and Google contacts.
