Google Workspace
One of Blissfully's foundational integrations, providing visibility into people, apps, and spend.
Google Workspace is one of Blissfully's foundational integrations and provides a wide range of capabilities. This integration is read-only and does not have permission to affect your organization. (However, if you are looking to automate Google Workspace please see our separate Google Workspace Automation Integration)
The Google Workspace integration allows for seamless login for the people in your organization, whether they Admins accessing the entire Blissfully application, or employees accessing the Employee Portal. No special provisioning logic is required for the Employee portal.
If your organization prefers, you are able to connect Blissfully to your institutional Single Sign On (SSO) provider
Integrating Google Workspace provides many forms of visibility into your organization:
- Visibility of the people in your organization
- Visibility into the apps authenticated with Google Workspace, including granular permissions
- Visibility into spend via invoice/receipt email detection
Blissfully can sync your Google Workspace Organizational Units or Google Groups into Teams. Team sync creates and keeps updated all your Blissfully teams based on your OUs/Groups.
To begin installation, you must be a Google Workspace Domain Administrator. If you know of someone in your organization who can create G Suite Accounts, they are likely an administrator.
First, visit the Google Workspace Marketplace Blissfully App, and choose Domain Install to begin installation. From there, you will be redirected back to Blissfully, and guided through next steps.
Choosing Individual Install will appear to work but results in a partial integration, unable to provide broad visibility into your organization. If you are interested in exploring more nuanced installations, please contact support.
After the app has detected you've installed the Google Workspace Marketplace app, it needs to confirm two other facts:
- 1.You are a Google Workspace domain administrator.
- 2.API access to Google Workspace is enabled.
If the app instructs you to enable API access to Google Workspace, visit your Google Workspace Security Settings. (Tip: If you are asked to log in, re-click this link to take you precisely where you need to be!) You should see an Enable API checkbox. Check it and select Save then return to the Blissfully App - the installation screen should confirm you're good to go!
Missing required error
Before integrating, Blissfully will run a permission check on your Google Workspace to confirm that the permissions needed for the automation are enabled. The error above indicates that you are missing one or more OAuth scopes required to run our automations. The list of recommended scopes and instructions on how to add/update them are available on our setup doc.
If you're looking to apply a custom configuration without all the required scopes, please reach out to our support team on live chat or email [email protected]
