First, navigate to your Google Cloud Console Credentials Page (opens in a new tab) and select create credentials, then OAuth Client ID.
You will be presented with a screen where you will need to select your application type. For this, select the "Web Application" option.
Further down the form, you will need to provide "Authorised redirect URIs", enter your google callback url here, then click "Create".
If you are unsure on how to find your callback URL in the Saascannon Dashboard (opens in a new tab), follow our guide on how to find your callback url for auth providers
Once created, yuu will be presented with your new google client credentials.
Paste your new google client credentials (Client ID and Client Secret) into their respective fields in the saascannon dashboard, then click "Enable Google Auth Integration"
Congratulations! Users will now be able to login and link their accounts with Google accounts in your saascannon tenant.
