# Set up the Google Docs

Integrate the ServiceNow instance and Google Docs by creating a custom OAuth application in G Suite credentials to authenticate ServiceNow requests.

## Before you begin

-   Request an Integration Hub subscription.
-   Activate the Google Docs spoke.
-   Role required: admin.

## Configure Google Docs application

Create a custom OAuth application from your G Suite account to enable OAuth 2.0 authentication with the Google Docs spoke.

### Before you begin

-   A Google G Suite or login created with the domain
-   Role required: admin

### About this task

Complete these steps from your Google G Suite account. See the G Suite product documentation for instructions on creating and configuring custom applications.

### Procedure

1.  Register a new custom application.

    1.  Navigate to [https://console.developers.google.com](https://console.developers.google.com).

    2.  Create a project with your G Suite administrator credentials.

    3.  Open the project.

2.  Set the Authorized domain.

    1.  From the **APIs & Services** menu, select **OAuth consent screen**.

    2.  Enter the application name.

    3.  Specify the Authorized domain `service-now.com`.

    4.  Click **Save**.

3.  Search for the Google Docs API and enable it.

4.  Create the OAuyth client ID.

    1.  From the APIs & Services menu, select **Credentials**.

    2.  Select **Create OAuth client ID** from the **Create credentials** list.

5.  Select the application type **Web application**.

6.  Enter the following Authorized redirect URI: `https://<instance>.service-now.com/oauth_redirect.do` and click **Create**.

    This redirect URI must match the **Redirect URL** you provide when you configure a connection for the Google Docs spoke.

7.  The OAuth client window shows your client ID and client secret.

    Copy these two values to a text file so that you can use them when you configure a connection for the Google Docs spoke.

    **Tip:**

    You can always access the client ID and secret in the Google APIs &amp; Services interface by clicking **Credentials** and select the OAuth 2.0 client ID name.
