Instructions This connection can be configured in two ways. Use Default App (Created by ZappySys) OR Use Custom App created by you.
To use minimum settings you can start with the ZappySys created App. Just change UseCustomApp=false on the properties grid so you dont need ClientID / Secret. When you click Generate Token you might see a warning about App is not trusted (Simply Click Advanced Link to expand hidden section and then click Go to App link to Proceed).

To register a custom app, perform the following steps (Detailed steps found in the help link at the end):

  1. Go to Google API Console.
  2. From the Project Dropdown (usually found at the top bar) click Select Project.
  3. On the Project Popup click CREATE PROJECT.
  4. Once the project is created you can click Select Project to switch the context (You can click on Notification link or Choose from Top Dropdown).
  5. Click ENABLE APIS AND SERVICES.
  6. Now we need to Enable two APIs one by one (Sheets API and Drive API).
  7. Search Sheets. Select and click ENABLE.
  8. Search Drive. Select and click ENABLE.
  9. Go back to the main screen of the Google API Console
  10. Click the OAuth Consent Screen tab. Enter necessary details and Save.
  11. Click the Credentials tab.
  12. Click CREATE CREDENTIALS (some where in topbar) and select OAuth Client ID option.
