I have Create an OAuth client application using Google's API Console client ID and Client Secret. But it was not taking. Something is error. I was not confident about the steps. Please show the steps to connect Gmail connector in Power Automate.

    Hi PattiF ,
     
    Thank you for choosing Microsoft Power Platform Communities.
     
     
    I would suggest you remove/blur your personal email address from your post.
     
    Here are the steps you need to follow to connect the Gmail connector in Power Automate. :
     
    Create an OAuth Client Application:
    • Go to the Google API Console and create a new project.
    • Navigate to Credentials and create a new OAuth client ID.
    • Set the Authorized redirect URIs to https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth.
    • Note down the Client ID and Client Secret.
     
    Create a New Connection in Power Automate:
    • Open Power Automate and go to Connections.
    • Click on New Connection and select Google.
    • Enter the Client ID and Client Secret you noted earlier.
    • Choose the Authentication Type as OAuth 2.0.
    • Give your connection a name and click Create.
     
    Use the Gmail Connector:
    • Now you can use the Gmail connector in your flows.
    • Add a new action and search for Send an email (V2).
    • Select the connection you just created and configure the email details.
     
    I hope this helps! Let me know if you need any more assistance.
