Google Connect

To use Google as a social login provider, you will need a Client ID and Client Secret from your Google app, then copy these keys into your ReachFive Console settings.

This page explains how to create a Google App and connect it to your ReachFive account.

Default values for Google

The default public profile values for Google are:

  • id

  • email

Create a Google application

You must have a Google Developer account to complete these instructions.

Here, we’ll first create the application project and then we’ll create some credentials for the Google People API.

  1. Go to your Google Cloud Platform and log in.

  2. Create a new project.

    new gcp project

  3. Enable the Google People API by going to the APIs Overview section.

    enable apis gcp

    If you only want to implement Google One Tap, you do not need to enable the Google People API.

Create consent screen

First, you’ll need to create a consent screen and then create your credentials.

  1. Go to APIs and services  OAuth consent screen.

  2. Fill out the consent screen which includes:

    1. App name

      If you would like to have your own app name displayed here instead of the redirect URI, you’ll need to have a custom domain for your ReachFive account.

    2. User support email.

    3. App logo.

    4. App domain.

    5. Authorised domains.

    6. Developer contact information.

    7. Don’t forget to Save your input.
