How to connect to Google Workspace activities

Overview

Google Workspace activities have different authentication flows that you can choose from. Your choice is dependent on: the type of automation mode you plan to run (attended or unattended), the type of projects you want to build (cross-platform or Windows), whether you use Integration Service or not, the type of permissions you want to grant (delegated or app-only), and your application authentication requirements.

For more information about the differences between the credential types, see Authentication Overview in the Google Cloud documentation.

Use the table below to understand the basic differences between each authentication type:
