To enable Google Integrations, ERPNext needs access to the API through which the data will be synced which is achieved using OAuth 2.0 Authentication Protocol.

How to set up Google Settings
-----------------------------

### For Google Calendar, Google Contacts, Google Drive and Google Indexing

In order to allow a synchronization with any of the above mentioned services, you need to authorize ERPNext to get data from Google. Following is an example for setting up Google Contacts Integration

1. Create a new project on Google Cloud Platform and generate new OAuth 2.0 credentials. ![](/files/google_contacts_project_creation.gif)
* Enable API Access in API Library for the Integration you wish to integrate.


	+ Google Calendar: **Calendar API**
	+ Google Contacts: **People API**
	+ Google Drive: **Drive API**
	+ Google Indexing: **Indexing API**![](/files/api.gif)
* In **API & Services > Credentials** create a new Credential and select **Create OAuth client ID**
* Select Application Type **Web Application**
* Add `https://{yoursite}` to Authorized JavaScript origins.
* Add `https://{yoursite}?cmd=frappe.integrations.doctype.google_calendar.google_calendar.google_callback` as an authorized redirect URI for Google Calendar.
* Add `https://{yoursite}/api/method/frappe.integrations.google_oauth.callback` as an authorized redirect URI for rest of the services.

* Add your Client ID and Client Secret in the Google Settings in **Home > Integrations > Google Services > Google Settings**

### For Google Maps


> Setting the *API Key* is only required if you want to use the Directions API, for example in ERPNext's **Delivery Trip**. For the other features, this is not required.

In order to allow a synchronization with Google Maps you need to generate an API key as Google Maps doesn't need access to data from Google.

1. Create a new project on Google Cloud Platform and generate new API Key.
* Enable API Access in API Library for the Directions API and then add the API Key in the Google Settings in **Home > Integrations > Google Services > Google Settings**. ![](/files/api_key.gif)
