Gmail
Gmail is a free email service provided by Google. With Gmail, you can send and receive emails, block spam, create an address book, and perform other basic email tasks.
Authorization
OAuth2
Google APIs use the OAuth 2.0 protocol for authentication and authorization. Google supports common OAuth 2.0 scenarios such as those for web server, client-side, installed, and limited-input device applications.
You can obtain OAuth 2.0 client credentials from the Google API Console. Then you will get a client application that requests an access token from the Google Authorization Server. It will extract a token from the response, and send the token to the Google API that you want to access. For more details about using OAuth 2.0 for authentication, see OpenID Connect.
Under authorized redirect URIs enter Sapper's OAuth 2.0 callback URL: https://automation.sapper.ai/#/signup click create.
