Best practices for submitting G Suite addon OAuth verification (Part 2)

Updated: June 6, 2020

9. Youtube video Demonstration

  • The add-on’s logo in the homepage and Oauth consent screen must be identical. If the add-on already published, the add-on’s logo in the G Suite marketplace shoule be the same as the hompage and consent screen.
  • Show full URLs of AppScript ID and G Suite Marketplace Integration Client.
  • To get OAuth 2.0 Client IDs, choose project, click on Credentials, click on icons next to Client ID to copy Client ID
  • For example, my google cloud project ID is vcard-bulk-barcode, Apps Script ID is 234818586746-jcosulraoq8s3c1escpgtdbkn63hr323.apps.googleusercontent.com, G Suite Marketplace Integration Client is 234818586746-008t5v721dodpgn5lt8tmp213paq23sad2.apps.googleusercontent.com. In the youtube video, you should show two following URLs:
    https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials?project=vcard-bulk-barcode&clientid=234818586746-jcosulraoq8s3c1escpgtdbkn63hr323.apps.googleusercontent.com and https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials?project=vcard-bulk-barcode&clientid=234818586746-008t5v721dodpgn5lt8tmp213paq23sad2.apps.googleusercontent.com
  • The video must also show the consent screen when user accepts scopes
  • You neeed to explain the reason why add-on uses each scope. For example, if add-on uses the scope Connect to an external service, you show the paypal payment pricing page
  • You do not need to talk in the video, just show all actions which OAuth Team requires
  • You can host video in any video platforms and share the video public link with OAuth Team. You can host via Youtube, facebook, etc
  • You should use least scopes as much as possible or you could get rejection
  • You can see the example of video demonstration here
    10. Scopes justification
  • Explain all reasons why you use each scope. You can use the scope explaination in the privacy policy page
    11. Include any information that will help Google Team with verification
  • Show Script ID. Go to the app script file, click on File/Project Properties to see Script ID
  • Show Client ID of G Suite Marketplace Integration Client and App script ID
    To summarize, OAuth Team will focus on your addon’s name, scopes and you need to explain very clearly about all these things
