Combine Google Login for GMail & Drive

Hello,

I have both the ‘Gmail - Small Business’ and ‘Google Drive’ plugins. Unfortunately, a user can only log in for one of the two plugins at a time.

The user can either read / write emails or use Google Drive.

Surely there has to be a way how I combine the login so that a Google user has access to both (GMail & Drive)?

I’ve been searching for 8 hours now and have tried to create my own Google API login using the Bubble API connector. I did that, but it doesn’t seem to have any impact on the plugins. Although the scopes (https://mail.google.com/ & https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive) have been added, I don’t see any emails / files from the Zeroqode plugins.

I hope someone can help me and tell me how to create a Google login that ultimately has access to e-mails and drive files.

Best Regards

Hi @Tassilo ,

Thanks for reaching out. Unfortunately, with the Gmail - Small Business plugin it is possible to use its features only, and with the Google Drive plugin it is possible to use its features only.

However, let us check on it with our development team, perhaps we can provide some working solutions. I will get back to you asap.

Best,
Alex

Hi @Tassilo ,

Unfortunately, it is not possible. These are separate plugins with separate auth providers I’m afraid. Meaning, in order to use the Gmail - Small Business features, you need to signup/login with this plugin as an auth provider, and if you want to use the Google Drive features, you need to signup/login with this plugin as an auth provider.

Best,
