Google Tasks authentication

Prerequisites

Depending on the authentication type you select, you need one of the following credentials:

• OAuth 2.0 Authorization code: Your Google email address and the password associated with your Google account.
• Bring your own OAuth 2.0 app: Your application's Client ID and Client secret, and Scopes.
• Service account: Service account key, Account email.

If your account is not enabled by Google:

• Reach out to your administrator for approvals on creating connections.
• Enable permission by checking the options available to allow creating a connection.

Scopes

The Google Tasks connector requires the following permissions:

• View your tasks and task lists in Google Tasks.
• Edit and organize your lists, tasks and their details.
• Delete your lists, tasks and their details.

The connector requests the following permissions/scopes:

• UiPath public app default scopes: https://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.metadata,
  https://www.googleapis.com/auth/tasks, https://www.googleapis.com/auth/tasks.readonly.
• Service account default scopes: https://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.metadata,
  https://www.googleapis.com/auth/tasks, https://www.googleapis.com/auth/tasks.readonly.
• Bring your own OAuth 2.0 app:
  • Minimal scopes for creating a connection: openid, https://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.metadata.
    Note: If you authenticate using Bring your own OAuth 2.0 app, you benefit by default from the scopes configured at app creation. If you want to use the default app permissions, you can declare a common scope. This means you use only the permissions configured for that application. You can also declare additional scopes at connection creation, using the Scopes field. You will then be asked to grant the additional consent during sign-in.
• Minimal list of scopes required for Google Task triggers:

  • openid

  • https://www.googleapis.com/auth/tasks.readonly

Connecting allows UiPath products to interact with Google Tasks data on your behalf. This may include read, write, modify and delete data, depending on your Google Tasks permissions. You can always remove any access in your Google Account.
