Noxus integrates with Google Workspace services using OAuth 2.0 authentication, allowing you to access Gmail, Drive, Sheets, Docs, Calendar, and more.

Supported Google Services


Authentication: OAuth 2.0

Description

Google integrations use OAuth 2.0 to authenticate as a specific user. Users grant permission through Google’s consent screen, and Noxus can then access the resources that user has permission to view or modify.

When to Use

Ideal For

  • User-specific actions (sending email as a user)
  • Personal file access
  • Individual calendar management
  • Actions requiring user attribution

Characteristics

  • Permission Type: User-delegated
  • Setup: Interactive consent flow
  • Access Scope: User’s accessible resources
  • Best For: Personal automation, user workflows
