OAUTH2.0 GMAIL

Mon Sep 30 23:15:30 UTC 2024

Hi Martin,

Just a double check - the username and password on the front screen of the sample must have username which is the full gmail address eg <username>@gmail.com?

If you get the authorise part OK, it's got to be something like this.

Regards
Paul.

But I get errors in the result tab with error code 67 error info "login denied". The error log says, username and password not accepted. Yet I have counter checked & with confirmation the password and user are correct.

If so, then going from memory I think that the sequence is:- Open the window (if you currently have it open, then close it)- Check "Use OAuth2"- Click the "OAuth2" tab- Enter Client ID, Client Secret, (you need to set these up in the Google Developer Console)- Enter Authorisation URL (eg https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/v2/auth), Access Token URL (eg https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token), Scope (eg https://mail.google.com/)- Go back to the "Server connection" tab- Click "Authorize" -> this should open a browser window where you sign onto Google and allow you authorise to send- Click the "Server connection" tab again- Enter your from email address (username) and email password- Click on the "message" tab and enter from/to- Click on the "subject" tab and enter the message body- click "Start".

> In the past, you could use the SMTP settings to send using Gmail's smtp server.  However, they started restricting how that was accessed in a bid to increase security. They then introduced "application specific passwords", which allowed you to create a password for your particular application that allowed you to send using Gmail's smtp server.  I'm not sure if that's an option any longer, I think that was discontinued in the recent past.  The only option to send email via Gmail is using the OAuth method.
> To do that, you need to setup some stuff at Google's end to permit OAuth - what you're actually doing is accessing Google's Gmail APIs to send/receive email.  Here's the link to Google's documentation to do this: https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/oauth2
> It's a difficult thing to setup, but here are the basic steps:- You need a google developer account.  It's been a while since we did this, but think if you have a google account you can just go to console.cloud.google.com and it should allow you do setup what you need- Create a new google project- Enable the "Gmail API"- Create credentials - use the OAuth client ID option-> this will give you a client ID and a client secret
> Once you have these, the OAuth example in Omnis will work - you use the client ID and secret, it will ask you to sign into your google account and authorise, then redirect you back to your app.

> If this all sounds too hard (and it is!) then you should consider using a mail service like SMTP2Go, or Twillio SendGrid - they allow you to send email via their service.  Again, there will be some setup required, but probably a lot less effort than google!

Where can I get such a sample library? Or instead, it's just best to store emails in the database and mark them as either sent or pending?
