Gmail adapter in Oracle integration cloud

The Gmail adapter of Oracle Integration Cloud enables us to create an integration with the Gmail application. This is one of the OOB adapters that Integration Cloud offers.

In this particular article, we’ll show you how to create Gmail connection using Google Email adapter.

Prerequisites for Creating a Connection

To use the Gmail adapter, we must have access the Gmail APIs. So to access the Gmail APIs, we must create the Gmail project.

Below are the steps to create Gmail project:

Open the Gmail developer page https://console.developers.google.com
Click the Select a project dropdown list

Click on the New Project

Enter Project Name(ICSGmailConn) and click on the Create button

Once the project is created, make sure the newly created project(ICSGmailConn) is selected in the dropdown list

Click ENABLE APIS AND SERVICES

Search Gmail API and Select the same

Click ENABLE

On the right-hand side, click CREATE CREDENTIALS button

Click on the Credentials from the left navigation

Click on the Create Credentials drop down and select OAuth Client ID

Select Web application from the application type

In the Name field, specify a name for the OAuth 2.0 client ID credential
In the Authorized Redirect URI field, enter the following URL and click Create button

https://{ICS_HOST}:{ICS_SSL_PORT}/icsapis/agent/oauth/callback

For example:

https://icshost.mycompany.com:443/icsapis/agent/oauth/callback

Once created, it will give the client id and client secret. Copy and paste the same at a safe location because it would be required at the time of Connection creation

Optionally, we can set the Scope for Google APIs from the OAuth consent screen page

Now let go ahead and create the Gmail adapter connection.

Login into the Integration cloud console and move to the Connection
Click on the Create button and search for the Google Mail adapter and select

Enter connection Name(Gmail_conn) as per your choice and Click on Create button

Click on the Configure Security button and enter below information

Client Id: Enter the client id which was copied earlier
Client Secret: Enter the client secret which was copied earlier
Confirm Client Secret: Enter the client secret which was copied earlier
Scope: Enter the scope for which the adapter functionality is limited to as below. For the time being, enter https://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.readonly and click on the Provide Consent button

https://mail.google.com/
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.compose
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.insert
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.labels
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.modify
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.readonly
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.send

Clicking the Provide Consent button will take to the different window where it will ask you to enter the Integration Cloud credentials(if already not logged-in in the same window). After which, it will prompt to enter the Gmail credentials from which we have created the client id and client secret. If already logged-in select the Gmail account and click Allow button
