We’re excited to announce that InboxCRM now supports Google One-Click Authentication (OAuth) — making it easier and more secure to connect Gmail accounts without needing app passwords or SMTP setup to help in data sync between AppEQ and Gmail & Calendar.
This guide walks you through how Workspace Admins can enable OAuth for their Google Workspace, so CSMs and team members can connect Gmail with just a few clicks.
✅ Why use Google OAuth?
No more app passwords or SMTP config
Seamless one-click Gmail integration
Secure, verified, and admin-controlled
A one-time setup per Workspace Admin
🔧 Step-by-Step Setup (Admin-only, done once per workspace)
Step 1: Go to Settings in InboxCRM
Navigate to Settings → Google
Click Add Account
Select Gmail
Choose OAuth (Recommended)
📌 At this point, if OAuth isn’t already authorized by your Workspace Admin, you’ll be prompted to proceed with admin authorization.
Step 2: Sign in with Your Google Workspace Admin Account
Open a browser session where you're logged into your Google Workspace Admin account.
Sign in with the admin account for your domain. (e.g., admin@yourcompany.com)
Navigate to the Google Admin Console: https://admin.google.com/u/1/ac/owl/list?tab=configuredApps
Step 3: Add InboxCRM as a Trusted App
In the Admin Console, go to Security → Access and Data Control → API Controls
Under App Access Control, click Manage Third-Party App Access
Click + Add App → OAuth App Name or Client ID
When prompted, enter the following Client ID:
275204587022-fidsf7svgt26a2gegoqtvduioq0jcn53.apps.googleusercontent.com
Click Search and select AppEQ from the results
Click Select
Choose Trusted: Can access all Google services
Confirm and Allow Access
✅ Once added, InboxCRM will appear in your trusted apps list and users can begin connecting Gmail with one click.
Once the above is done, when team members in the above workspace, while using Email / Tasks or Interaction Tracker, they will be prompted to do google auth. At that time, they can do 1-click auth for google.
🎉 You’re connected! InboxCRM can now send, receive, and organize your team's emails securely.
🔁 What Happens Next?
Future users from the same Workspace can connect their Gmail without repeating the admin setup
OAuth replaces the need for SMTP, 2FA, or App Passwords
All Gmail-based features (email sync, contact , calendar sync) now run on the secure, native Google protocol
🛡️ Why This Matters
Google OAuth is the recommended and secure method for connecting to Gmail:
Reduces authentication issues
Handles token expiration automatically
Keeps login credentials safe and managed by Google
