Input

Name Type Required Description
Scope String True The scope of access to Gmail. By default, access to all APIs used by this data provider will be specified.

The default value is https://mail.google.com/.

CallbackURL String False This field determines where the response is sent. The value of this parameter must exactly match one of the values registered in the APIs Console, including the HTTP or HTTPS schemes, case, and trailing forward slash ('/').
Prompt String True This field indicates the prompt to present the user. It accepts one of the following values: NONE, CONSENT, SELECT ACCOUNT. The default is SELECT_ACCOUNT, so a given user will be prompted to select the account to connect to. If it is set to CONSENT, the user will see a consent page every time, even if they have previously given consent to the application for a given set of scopes. Lastly, if it is set to NONE, no authentication or consent screens will be displayed to the user.

The default value is SELECT_ACCOUNT.

AccessType String True This field indicates if your application needs to access Gmail when the user is not present at the browser. This parameter defaults to OFFLINE. If your application needs to refresh access tokens when the user is not present at the browser, then use OFFLINE. This will result in your application obtaining a refresh token the first time your application exchanges an authorization code for a user.

The allowed values are ONLINE, OFFLINE.

The default value is OFFLINE.

State String False This field indicates any state which may be useful to your application upon receipt of the response. Your application receives the same value it sent, as this parameter makes a round-trip to the Google authorization server and back. Uses include redirecting the user to the correct resource in your site, using nonces, and mitigating the cross-site request forgery.
