Authorization

When you first add a Google Calendar card to a flow, Okta prompts you to create a connection. Setting up a connection allows you to save your account information and reuse that connection next time you build a flow with the connector.

You don't need to sign in every time you want to build a flow with this connector.

You can create multiple unique connections and manage them from the Connections page in the Okta Workflows Console.

Set up a new Google Calendar connection

  1. In the Okta Workflows Console, go to Connections.

  2. Click New Connection to see a list of all available connectors.

  3. Select the Google Calendar connector.

  4. Enter a unique Account Nickname. This helps to differentiate between multiple Google Calendar connections.

  5. Click the Permissions tab and choose either Use default scopes or Customize scopes (advanced).

    • Use default scopes: This option includes the scopes necessary to run any of the Google Calendar connector cards.

    • Customize scopes (advanced): Choose this option if you want to customize the scopes for this connection. See Scopes for Google Calendar connector cards.

      You can also Manually add scopes that aren't in the default scope list. The connection creation fails if you attempt to add an invalid scope, for example, a scope that doesn't exist.

  6. Click Create to launch a pop-up window to sign in to your Google Calendar account.

Reauthorize a connection

For an existing connection, you must reauthorize the connection to pick up any scope changes.

Reauthorizing any existing connection without changing scopes simply inherits the scopes of the previous authorization.
