Configure your email channel for OAuth with Google Cloud

This page explains how to use Google Cloud to create OAuth credentials for configuring your Contact Center AI Platform (CCAI Platform) email channel.

Before you begin

Be sure that you have the following:

• A Google Cloud account. For more information, see Get started with Google Cloud.

• A Google Cloud project. For more information, see Creating and managing projects.

Also, make sure that billing is enabled for your Google Cloud project. For more information, see Verify the billing status of your projects.

Create OAuth credentials

You can use Google Cloud to create OAuth credentials—the client ID and client secret. If you haven't yet configured a consent screen, you need to do so before you can create OAuth credentials. For more information about OAuth, see Using OAuth 2.0 to Access Google APIs.

To create OAuth credentials and configure the consent screen, do the following:

1. In the Google Cloud console, go to the project selector dashboard and select the project that you want to use to create OAuth credentials.

2. Go to the APIs and Services page, and in the navigation menu, click Credentials.

3. If you haven't yet configured your consent screen for this Google Cloud project, the Configure consent screen button appears. In that case, configure your consent screen using the following procedure. Otherwise, skip to step 4.

   1. Click Configure consent screen. The OAuth consent screen page displays.

   2. Depending on your use case, select Internal or External, and then click Create. The OAuth consent screen pane displays.

   3. Enter information on the App information page according to the on-screen instructions, and then click Save and continue. The Scopes pane displays.

   4. Click Add or remove scopes. The Update selected scopes pane appears.

   5. Select the scope or scopes appropriate for your use case, and then click Update.

   6. Click Save and continue. The Test users pane displays.

   7. If you want to add users to test access to your app, click Add users. The Add users pane displays.

   8. In the empty field, add one or more email addresses from Google accounts, and then click Add.

   9. Click Save and continue. The Summary pane displays.

   10. Review your OAuth consent screen information, and then click Back to dashboard.

   11. If you want to publish your app to production now, click Publish app, and then click Confirm in the confirmation dialog. Your consent screen is configured.

4. On the navigation menu, click Credentials.

5. Click Create credentials, and then click OAuth client ID.

6. In the Application type field, click Web application.

7. In the Name field, enter a name for your client.

8. In the Authorized JavaScript origins area, click Add IRI.

9. In the URIs field, enter https://TENANT_NAME.ccaiplatform.com, replacing TENANT_NAME with your tenant name.

10. In the Authorized redirect URIs area, click Add URI.

11. In the URIs field, enter https://TENANT_NAME.ccaiplatform.com/v1/email_accounts/oauth_callback, replacing TENANT_NAME with your tenant name.

12. Click Create. The OAuth client created dialog displays.

13. Click Download JSON to download to your computer a JSON file containing your client ID and client secret, and then click OK.

Get your client ID and client secret

After you create OAuth credentials, you can get your client ID and client secret at any time.

To get your client ID and client secret, do the following:

1. In the Google Cloud console, go to the APIs and Services page. In the navigation menu, click Credentials.

   Credentials

2. In the OAuth 2.0 Client IDs area, click the client that you want the client ID and client secret for. Your client ID and client secret are displayed in the Additional information area.

Configure SSO settings for the email channel

Use the client ID and client secret that you created in Create OAuth credentials to configure single sign-on (SSO) settings for the email channel.

To configure SSO settings, do the following:

1. In the CCAI Platform portal, click menu Menu, and then click Settings > Developer settings.

2. Go to the Email account management pane, and then click Manage email account.

3. On the Email account management page, click Email SSO.

4. In the Email SSO pane, configure the settings as shown in the following list:

   • Authorization URL. Enter https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/v2/auth?prompt=select_account consent.

   • Token URL. Enter https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token.

   • Client ID. Enter the client ID that you created in Create OAuth credentials. If you didn't save your client ID, see Get your client ID and client Secret.

   • Client secret. Enter the client secret that you created in Create OAuth credentials. If you didn't save your client secret, see Get your client ID and client Secret.

   • Scope. Enter https://mail.google.com/.

   • State. Leave this field empty.

   • Access type. Enter offline.

   • Grant type. Enter Authorization Code.

   • Clear the Include the Grant Type as part of the Authorization URL and Token URL checkbox.

   • Select the Include the Redirect URL as part of the Authorization URL and Token URL checkbox, and then click Save. Your email channel is configured for OAuth.
