The Nylas Communications Platform drastically reduces the effort it takes to build and maintain a Gmail, Google Calendar, and Google Contacts integration. With just a few lines of code, you can integrate full email, calendar, and contacts functionality into your application.
Get Started With Your Google Integration
In order to integrate Google accounts into your application, you first need to connect your Nylas app to a Google API project. This will enable users to authenticate with their Google account and provide access to the data that you stipulate in the Google API.

Google Security Review Process
Google requires apps that access restricted scopes to go through an extensive security review process. There are costs associated with this process that you will be required to pay; however, there are some exceptions for certain types of apps:
- Apps that only need access to sensitive scopes are only required to go through Google’s verification process, which incurs no additional -osts.
- Apps that access less than 100 Gmail accounts.
- Apps that are configured to work only with Google accounts that are internal to your organization.
- Apps that have been allowed by GSuite admins.
Keep in mind the Google app verification process can take up to 4 weeks, and the security review can take up to an additional 4-6 weeks. Please plan accordingly to meet your launch date.
Review Google's FAQ on the verification process for more details.
To help streamline the process, Nylas has created the Express Security Review.
