Google Configuration / Features
From version 2.2.0 Google configuration is moved into a separate config tab in Setup-> Settings-> Google, this will allow a clear overview of all related Google settings and features integrated into Radius CRM.
In order to start configuring your Google Radius CRM related features, you will need to create (in case you don’t have one until now) a project into a Google Developers Console.
You can use one project to manage all of your applications, or you can create a different specific project in Radius CRM.
Because Radius CRM is a standalone application and is installed on your server, you are the data controller and responsible for processing all the data, you will need to set up the additional settings on the Google Developers Console page.
Prerequisite
Create New Google Developers Console Project
To get started, first you need to use the setup tool, which guides you through creating a project in the Google API Console, enabling the API, and creating credentials.
In most cases, after you create the project with the setup tool, the project will be auto-named My Project, but you can rename it manually.
- Generate API Key
Click on the top left sidebar toggle icon then APIs & Services -> Credentials to create new API key.
