Setup Guide
You can find your Google app credentials by visiting your Google Cloud Console dashboard. 
You'll need the following information to set up your Google App with Paragon Connect:
Client ID
Client Secret
Scopes Requested
Note: You'll need to create a new project in Google Cloud Console if you don't already have one.
Add the Redirect URL to your Google app
Paragon provides a redirect URL to send information to your Google app. To add the redirect URL to your Google app:
1. Copy the link under "Redirect URL" in your integration settings in Paragon. The Redirect URL is:

https://passport.useparagon.com/oauth
Copied!
2. In your Google Cloud Console dashboard, navigate to APIs & Services > Credentials in the sidebar.
3. Press "+ Create Credentials", then select OAuth client ID.
4. Select "Web application" from the Application type drop-down menu.
Note: You'll need to configure Google's consent screen for access to Client ID and Client Secret if you haven't already.
5. Under Authorized redirect URIs, press the "+ Add URI" button.
6. Paste-in the redirect URL from Paragon.
7. Press the blue "Create" button.
Google provides you with the Client ID and Client Secret needed for the next steps after adding the redirect URL to your project.
