Question

Google Cloud Platform API Dashboard link not found

Rusty4man opened this issue 5 years ago · comments

Actions taken

I followed the instructions until I got to the step "Once you have done this open Resources->Advanced Google services again and click on the link which says "Google Cloud Platform API Dashboard".

Expected behavior

A dialog box appeared, but I found no link labeled Google Cloud Platform API Dashboard. Therefore, no further progress made.

Possible solution

I have no idea.

I found the same problem. Just googling "Google Cloud Platform API Dashboard" and clicking in the first result took me to the desired page. https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/dashboard

I followed the link above (https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/dashboard) but did not find it useful.

Click on the link which says "Google Cloud Platform API Dashboard": you will be taken to another page. Click on "Library" in the menu on the left, search for "Google Calendar API" in the search box and open it. Now click Enable and close this page. There is no need to create any credentials as suggested on the page. That's it for this step.

That's literally the page the installation guide is talking about. Click on Library in the menu on the left and keep following the instructions.

Got it. Thanks.
I don't know why there is no longer a link on the dialog box where the instructions point, but following the link above appears to have done the trick. I will do some testing over the next couple of days to verify all is well.

I also tripped over this step when trying to follow the installation instructions. Simply skipping it and running "test" resulted in an email listing two matching contacts. I also followed the additional step above and enabled the API in the library. test still works.

Is the step still required at all?

HI everyone: looks like Google slightly changed the interface, so we are updating the instructions to follow this.

@stephankn The script uses the Calendar API is used to pull additional informations about the contacts if I remember correctly (it's been a while since I last looked at the code), so the script might be able to work even when skipping the API activation step.
