[Note] Note

Publishing Status

Testing: If you keep your project in the Testing status, you will be required to reauthorize your connection in Boost.space Integrator every week. To avoid weekly reauthorization, update the project status to In production.

In production: If you update your project to the In production status, you will not be required to reauthorize the connection weekly. To update your project’s status, go to the Google Auth Platform, the Audience section, and click Publish app. If you see the notice Needs verification, you can choose whether to go through the Google verification process for the app or to connect to your unverified app. Currently connecting to unverified apps works in Boost.space Integrator, but we cannot guarantee the Google will allow connections to unverified apps for an indefinite period.

For more information regarding the publishing status, refer to the Publishing status section of Google’s Setting up your OAuth consent screen help.

  1. In Google Auth Platform, click Clients.

You will use these values in the Client ID and Client Secret fields in Boost.space Integrator.
