Registering application for synchronization with Google (for on-site users only)
On-site users need to register their bpm’online 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 bpm’online for the values of the [Google Service Access Key] and [Google Secret Access Key] system settings respectively.

13.In the [Authorized JavaScript origins] field, enter your bpm'online 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://bpmonlineapp.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 bpm'online.
Attention
For the Google APIs projects added after 05/11/2017 perform the following additional step: Verify the application or add users to the Google group (suitable for testing and is not recommended for use on a regular basis). Without this step the “invalid_scope” error will be thrown to a user at integration attempt.
