Create External Credentials for Google Sheets (Beta)

To ingest data from Google Sheets to Data 360, set up an external credential for your Google Sheets.

We recommend using the built-in Google Drive Data 360 OAuth provider. If you prefer to use your own, create the OAuth-based authentication for Google in Setup before completing these steps.

From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter Named Credentials, and then select Named Credentials.
On the External Credentials tab, click New.
1. Enter a label and a name for your external credential. The name can’t contain spaces. You can use underscores.
2. For Authentication Protocol, select OAuth 2.0.
3. For Authentication Flow Type, select Browser Flow.
4. For Authentication Provider, select Google Drive Data Cloud or the provider you created.
5. Click Save.
Add principal to external credentials
1. In the external credentials that you created, under Principals, click New.
