Gmail Single User (Beta)

beta

This is a beta Integration, which lets you implement and test pre-release software. Since the integration is beta, it might contain bugs. Updates to the integration during the beta phase might include non-backward compatible features. We appreciate your feedback on the quality and usability of the integration to help us identify issues, fix them, and continually improve.

Use the Gmail Single User integration to send emails and fetch emails as incidents to Cortex XSOAR.

Note: We recommend using this integration if you only want to fetch and send emails from a single user's mailbox. If you require accessing multiple users' mailboxes, use the GMail Integration.

Application Authorization Flow#

To allow Cortex XSOAR to access Gmail, the user has to approve the Demisto App using an OAuth 2.0 authorization flow. Follow these steps to authorize the Demisto app in Gmail.

Create and save an integration instance of the Gmail Single User integration. Do not fill in the Auth Code field, this will be obtained in the next steps.
To obtain the Auth Code run the following command in the playground: !gmail-auth-link. Access the link you receive to authenticate your Gmail account.
Complete the authentication process and copy the received code to the Auth Code configuration parameter of the integration instance.
Save the instance.
To verify that authentication was configured correctly, run the !gmail-auth-test.

NOTE: The Demisto App is going through the Google verification process. During the verification process the app is not fully verified, and you may receive from Google an "unverified app" warning in the authorization flow.

GSuite Admins: You can choose to trust the Demisto App so your users can configure the App. Instructions:

Go to App Access Control
Choose: Configure new app -> OAuth App Name Or Client ID.
Enter the following Client ID: 391797357217-pa6jda1554dbmlt3hbji2bivphl0j616.apps.googleusercontent.com
You will see the Demisto App in the results page.
Select the App and grant the App access as Trusted.

Additional info available at: https://support.google.com/a/answer/7281227

Optional: You can use your own Google App instead of the default Demisto App. To create your own app, follow the Google instructions for Desktop Apps.

Go to the developers credentials page: https://console.developers.google.com/apis/credentials (you may need to setup a new project if you haven't done so in the past).
If needed, configure the Consent Screen. Fill in the Consent Screen information you would like to display to your users.
In the credentials page choose: Create Credentials -> OAuth client ID.
When creating the OAuth client ID, select iOS as the type (this type allows Apps to work only with a client id).
Name the App and Bundle. You can choose a dummy bundle id such as: com.demisto.app.
Make sure to enable the GMail API at: https://console.developers.google.com/apis/api/gmail.googleapis.com/overview
After you create the app, copy the client id to the integration configuration. Proceed with the OAuth 2.0 authorization flow detailed above.
