Google OAuth 2.0 Setup and Configuration for ThingWorx Mail Integration

ThingWorx Extensibility > Extensions > Mail > Google OAuth 2.0 Setup and Configuration for ThingWorx Mail Integration

Using OAuth 2.0 for Google Workspace mail requires setup within the workspace before it can be configured in ThingWorx.

OAuth 2.0 support in the Mail extension uses a service account within Google to allow for unattended authentication. The access required for the service account is only available in Workspace; ThingWorx cannot use OAuth for consumer Gmail accounts. Use an app password instead.

For detailed configuration of OAuth with Azure and Google, refer to the respective Google and Azure documentation. Configurations are customer-specific.
