Data 360 Integration Guide

Prepare Your Google Drive Structured Connection (Beta)

Before you connect Google Drive to Data 360, gather the required information and perform these preliminary actions in Google Drive and Salesforce.

Gather Info in Google Drive

Make sure you complete these steps using a Google account that has access to the files and folders you want to connect to Salesforce.
To ingest structured data, find the Google Drive folder containing the relevant files. Identify the ID at the end of the folder’s URL. Example: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/{id}.

Authorize Access to Google Drive

In the Google Cloud Console, turn on the Google Drive API.
In the Google Cloud Console, create an OAuth 2.0 client ID and client secret for a web application. Alternatively, in Salesforce Setup, you can create the OAuth-based authentication for Google. Salesforce recommends using the Google Cloud Console to create OAuth credentials.
In Salesforce, create external credentials for your Google Drive connection.
