Google

Create the OAuth client

  1. Open the Google API Console and select or create a project. From the dashboard, choose Enable APIs and Services.

  2. Search for calendar and select the Google Calendar API.

  3. Enable it.

  4. Go to the OAuth consent screen, pick the app type (Internal or External) and fill in the basic details.

  5. Under Scopes, choose Add or Remove Scopes and add:

    • .../auth/calendar.events
    • .../auth/calendar.readonly

  6. Under Test Users, add the Google accounts you will use, then finish the wizard.

  7. Go to Credentials → Create Credentials → OAuth Client ID.

  8. Choose Web Application as the application type.

  9. Add both authorized redirect URIs, replacing <flexcal URL> with your instance URL:

    <flexcal URL>/api/integrations/googlecalendar/callback
    <flexcal URL>/api/auth/callback/google

  10. Select the new client under OAuth 2.0 Client IDs and Download JSON. Paste the entire JSON string as the value of GOOGLE_API_CREDENTIALS in both .env and .env.appStore:

    GOOGLE_API_CREDENTIALS={"web":{"client_id":"...","client_secret":"...", ...}}

Google sign-in

The same OAuth client backs “Sign in with Google”. To keep the integration internal — calendar connection only, no Google login — set:

GOOGLE_LOGIN_ENABLED=false

An External consent screen in Testing mode only works for the accounts you listed as test users, and tokens expire after a week. Under OAuth consent screen, click PUBLISH APP once you are ready to use it for real.
