| 11 | +# Data security and privacy policies for Google connectors in Azure Logic Apps |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +Starting **May 1, 2020**, changes due to Google's [data security and privacy policies](https://www.blog.google/technology/safety-security/project-strobe/) might affect your logic app workflows that use the [Gmail connector](https://docs.microsoft.com/connectors/gmail/). If your logic apps use the Gmail connector with a Gmail consumer account (email address that ends with @gmail.com or @googlemail.com), your logic apps can use only specific [Google-approved triggers, actions, and connectors](#approved-connectors). |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +> [!NOTE] |
| 16 | +> If your logic apps use the Gmail connector with a G-Suite business account (email address with a custom domain), your logic apps aren't affected and have no restrictions on using the Gmail connector. |
| 17 | +
|
| 18 | +## Affected logic apps |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +If you have logic apps that use the Gmail connector, you'll receive an email about potentially-affected logic apps. However, starting **June 15, 2020**, any non-compliant workflows will be disabled. You can take either of these actions: |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +* Update the affected logic apps by [following the steps in this topic](#update-affected-workflows). You need to create a Google client app, which provides a client ID and client secret that you use for authentication in your Gmail trigger or action. |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +* Update the affected logic apps so that they use only the [Google-approved connectors](#approved-connectors) before you re-enable the disabled logic apps. |
| 25 | + |

| 27 | + |
| 28 | +## Google-approved connectors |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +Under this policy, when you use a Gmail consumer account, you can use the Gmail connector with only specific Google-approved services, which are subject to change. Our engineering teams continue working with Google to add more services to this list. For now, here are the Google-approved triggers, actions, and connectors that you can use in the same logic app workflow with the Gmail connector when you use a Gmail consumer account: |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +* Logic Apps built-in triggers and actions: Batch, Control, Data Operations, Date Time, Flat File, Liquid, Request, Schedule, Variables, and XML |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +* Google services: Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Contacts, Google Drive, Google Sheets, and Google Tasks |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +* Approved Microsoft services: Dynamics 365, Excel Online, Microsoft Teams, Office 365, OneDrive, and SharePoint Online |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +* Connectors for customer-managed data sources: FTP, HTTP, RSS, SFTP, SMTP, and SQL Server |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | +For the most recent information, see the [Gmail connector's technical reference documentation](https://docs.microsoft.com/connectors/gmail/). |

| 43 | + |
| 44 | +## Steps for affected logic apps |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | +If you have to use the Gmail connector with a Gmail consumer account and Google non-approved connectors in a logic app, you can create your own Google app for personal or internal use in your enterprise. For this scenario, here are the high-level steps that you need to take: |
| 47 | + |
| 48 | +1. Create a Google client app by using the [Google API Console](https://console.developers.google.com). |
| 49 | + |
| 50 | +1. In your Gmail connector, use the client ID and client secret values from your Google client app. |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | +For more information, see the [Gmail connector's technical reference documentation](https://docs.microsoft.com/connectors/gmail/#authentication-and-bring-your-own-application). |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | +### Create Google client app |
| 55 | + |
| 56 | +To set up a project for your client app, use the [Google API Console wizard](https://console.developers.google.com/start/api?id=gmail&credential=client_key) and follow the instructions. Or, for detailed steps, review the instructions in the [Gmail connector's technical reference documentation](https://docs.microsoft.com/connectors/gmail/#authentication-and-bring-your-own-application). |
| 57 | + |
| 58 | +When you're done, your screen looks like this example except you'll have your own **Client ID** and **Client secret** values, which you later use in your logic app. |
| 59 | + |
| 60 | + |
| 61 | + |
| 62 | +### Use client app settings in logic app |
| 63 | + |
| 64 | +To use the client ID and client secret from your Google client app in your Gmail trigger or action, follow these steps: |
| 65 | + |
| 66 | +1. In the [Azure portal](https://portal.azure.com), open your logic app in the Logic App Designer. |
| 67 | + |
| 68 | +1. If you're adding a new Gmail trigger or action and creating an entirely new connection, continue to the next step. Otherwise, in the Gmail trigger or action, select **Change connection** > **Add new**, for example: |
| 69 | + |
| 70 | +  |
| 71 | + |
| 72 | +1. Provide your connection information, for example: |
| 73 | + |
| 74 | +  |
| 75 | + |
| 76 | + | Property | Value | Description | |
| 77 | + |----------|-------|-------------| |
| 78 | + | **Authentication Type** | **Bring your own application** | Specifies that you'll use your own client app for authentication. | |
| 79 | + | **Client ID** | <*client-ID*> | The client ID from your Google client app | |
| 80 | + | **Client Secret** | <*client-secret*> | The client secret from your Google client app | |
| 81 | + |||| |
| 82 | + |
| 83 | +1. When you're done, select **Sign in**. |
| 84 | + |
| 85 | + A page appears that shows the client app that you created. If you're using a Gmail consumer account, you might get a page that show your client app isn't verified by Google and prompts you to first allow access to your Google account. |
| 86 | + |
| 87 | +  |
| 88 | + |
| 89 | +1. If necessary, select **Allow**. |
| 90 | + |
| 91 | + You can now use the Gmail connector without restrictions in your logic app. |
