Services Plugins FAQs

Access Google Docs while using a Service Account

Hi guys,

I just bought the “Google Sheets & Charts (Service)” plugin, and it works like a charm after few difficulties setting up the API Key.

I replicated the following demo and am able to create spreadsheets :smiley_cat:

The issue I face now is twofolds :

  1. I would like to access the files created by my service account in my Google Account, but I do not find them in my Google docs environment associated with my Google developper account. When I try opening them directly using their URL, google sends me a message “this document is not published …”. Basically the document has been created for sure, somewhere, it has an ID and an URL, but how can I access it on Google ?

  2. The “Live Results” group can not display the spreadsheet for authentication issues.


    Is there a tutorial for sorting out authentication issues related to displaying google documents created by a service account to bubble application users ?

1 million dollar reward to the right answers :smiley:

Cheers

Hello, @olivier! Thanks for reaching out.
Please accept my apologies for the late reply. :pray:

  1. Have you tried the “Transfer ownership feature?” or “Allow Spreadsheet Access” option? It should help.

  2. Please try to use the “Allow Spreadsheet Access” before “Get Spreadsheet Data”. Take a look:

Hope it helps. :slightly_smiling_face:
