Setting up Google Workspace Admin OAuth2 API

  1. In Google Workspace Admin OAuth2 API, create the credential this connection needs — the values listed in the table above. These are issued from your own Google Workspace Admin OAuth2 API account, usually under its developer, API or integrations settings.
  2. In BusyBot, open Credentials → Add credential and choose Google Workspace Admin OAuth2 API.
  3. Paste each value into the matching field and save.
  4. Add the Google Workspace Admin node to a workflow, select this credential, and run a simple operation to confirm it authenticates.

Security

  • Secret values are encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM, never written to logs, and readable only by your own account (to edit them).
  • Grant the minimum scopes or permissions the operations you actually use require.
  • Rotate the credential periodically, and immediately if it may have been exposed.
  • Credentials are scoped to your account — a workflow cannot use another account's.
