Integrating with Google APIs
Pathfix allows you to easily add end-user OAuth based integration, handling authorization and enable communication between your app and any Google API in just a few minutes. The following documentation takes the example of Google Task, but you can follow the same process and activate any other Google Product API.
Before proceeding, you will need to create an account with Google Cloud Platform and register your application. Please refer the developer documentation provided by Google Cloud Platform.
Important Note: For restricted scopes, Google requires a mandatory security assessment that is charged by Google. This is more specific to Products like Google Mail. You can read more about this here: Link Link 2
