Build a Google Workspace Add-on in any coding language

As an alternative to Google Apps Script, you can build an add-on in any coding language you want, as long as you can return properly formatted JSON for the interface to render as cards.

Set up the runtime

Pick your hosting infrastructure and set up your HTTPS endpoints. If you want to build and host your add-on on Google Cloud, we recommend you use Cloud Run.

Create a deployment resource

When you build your add-on in a different language, you need to configure the add-on's deployment resource in Google Cloud. The deployment resource works like the manifest file of an Apps Script project.

Follow the steps below to configure your add-on's deployment resource.

  1. If you haven't already, create a Google Cloud project for your add-on.
  2. In the Cloud project, in the search bar at the top, type Google Workspace Marketplace SDK and press Enter.
  3. In the search results, click Google Workspace Marketplace SDK.
  4. If you haven't already enabled the Google Workspace Marketplace SDK, click Enable. If you have enabled it, click Manage.
  5. At the left, click Alternate Runtimes.
  6. Under Google Workspace Add-ons API, click Enable.
  7. At the top, click Create new deployment.
  8. Give your deployment resource a name and click Next.
  9. Add your add-on's information in JSON format and click Submit.

Example: Deployment resource

Below is a sample deployment resource that triggers a unique homepage in Gmail using an HTTPS endpoint.

{
  "oauthScopes": ["https://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.addons.execute", "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.metadata"],
  "addOns": {
    "common": {
      "name": "My HTTP Add-on",
      "logoUrl": "https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/i/googlematerialicons/markunread_mailbox/v6/black-24dp/1x/gm_markunread_mailbox_black_24dp.png",
      "homepageTrigger": {
        "runFunction": "https://us-central1-test-http-runtime.cloudfunctions.net/HttpAddOn/exampleWidgets"
      }
    },
    "gmail": {
          "contextualTriggers": [
            {
              "unconditional": {},
              "onTriggerFunction": "https://us-central1-test-http-runtime.cloudfunctions.net/GmailExample/simpleMessageInfo"
            }
          ]
     },
    "calendar": {},
    "drive": {}
  }
}

Build JSON card

Design your add-on interface with the card framework. Use JSON instead of the Google Apps Script Card Service to build cards. For detailed information about JSON objects for cards, see the reference documentation.

To view examples of JSON cards, see JSON card interfaces.

Create JSON response objects

Each unique entry point listed in your add-on's manifest needs a unique JSON response object.

Below are popular Google Workspace Add-on entry points with sample JSON response schemas.

Common entry points for Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Drive, and Editors

Entry pointDescriptionJSON response
homepageTrigger.runFunctionThe user opens the add-on's homepage.renderActions
OnClick.action.functionThe user clicks on actions within the add-on.onClick
TextInput.autoCompleteAction.function The user enters text and the add-on provides automatic suggestions.getAutocompletionResponse

Entry points for Gmail

Entry pointDescriptionJSON response
contextualTrigger.onTriggerFunction The user opens an email. renderActions

linkPreviewTriggers The user has interacted with a URL that matches a pattern specified in LinkPreviewTriggers. linkPreview
onFileScopeGrantedTrigger The user has completed granting file access in response to a requestFileScopeForActiveDocument action.renderActions

Validate JSON requests

A request sent to your endpoint is a POST request with a JSON event object in the request body.

Properly guard your HTTPS endpoint to ensure requests to your add-on are only fulfilled for ones coming from Google. This is especially important if your HTTPS endpoint returns user data from your service.

Use authorizationEventObject ID tokens to access Google services and validate users and service accounts.

ID tokens

Token fieldTypeDescription
authorizationEventObject.userOAuthToken StringThe end user OAuth access token, authorized with the requested scopes.

See this example.

authorizationEventObject.userIdToken StringAn end user ID token. The user’s email address is encoded in the end user ID token, formatted as a JSON web token.

To receive this event object in the request, you must specify the scope https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.email in your add-on's deployment resource.

See this example.

authorizationEventObject.systemIdTokenStringAn ID token for the Google Workspace Add-on's service account for a specific deployment. It can be used to verify that the request comes from Google.

See this example.

Example: Get the user's Gmail data

To access users' Google data, request the relevant scope in your add-on's deployment resource. Then use authorizationEventObject.userOAuthToken to pass the API calls.

In the following example, the add-on uses a contextual trigger to reference the email recipient while the user is reading an email. To learn more about contextual triggers in Gmail, see Extending the message UI.

Add triggers and scopes

First, update your deployment resource to include Gmail's contextual trigger and an OAuth scope to allow access to the current message.

{
  "oauthScopes": [
    "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.addons.execute",
    "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.addons.current.message.metadata"
  ],
  "addOns": {
    "common": {...},
    "gmail": {
      "contextualTriggers": [
        {
          "unconditional": {},
          "onTriggerFunction": "https://us-central1-test-http-runtime.cloudfunctions.net/GmailExample/simpleMessageInfo"
        }
      ],
    }
  }
}

Specify the HTTPS endpoint for the add-on to apply when the user views an email message.

If you don't want to use URL paths to distinguish between different entry points, you can use query parameters, for example, https://us-central1-test-http-runtime.cloudfunctions.net/HttpAddOn/exampleWidgets?trigger=onEmailOpen.

When triggered, in this case by the user opening an email, the following event object is passed to the add-on as a JSON blob in the HTTP body.

{
  "commonEventObject": {
     "hostApp": "GMAIL",
     "platform": "WEB"
  },
  "authorizationEventObject": {
    "userOAuthToken": "ya29...",
    "systemIdToken": "eyJhbGc...",
    "userIdToken": "jaaa45...",
  },
  "gmail": {
     "messageId": "msg-f:1234567",
     "threadId": "thread-f:2345678",
     "accessToken": "xedf241...",
  },
}

Extract the information

The event object doesn't have the user's email address or the contents of the email. To get this information, use the Gmail API to get the contents of the email with the messageId.

To authenticate with the Gmail API, send the OAuth2 token in the Authorization header as a bearer token. Send the OAuth2 access token from authorizationEventObject.userOauthToken.

When using one of the per-message scopes, also include the message token from gmail.accessToken in an additional X-Goog-Gmail-Access-Token header.

The sample code below shows how to get the contents of an email using the Gmail API:

Java

import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.JsonNode;
import com.google.api.client.auth.oauth2.BearerToken;
import com.google.api.client.auth.oauth2.Credential;
import com.google.api.client.googleapis.javanet.GoogleNetHttpTransport;
import com.google.api.client.json.jackson2.JacksonFactory;
import com.google.api.client.http.HttpHeaders;
import com.google.api.services.gmail.Gmail;
import com.google.api.services.gmail.model.Message;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.PostMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestBody;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RestController;

@RestController
public class GmailMessageDemoController {

   @PostMapping("/message")
   public JsonNode onViewMessage(@RequestBody JsonNode event)
           throws Exception {
       String messageId = event.at("/gmail/messageId").asText();
       String messageToken = event.at("//gmail/accessToken").asText();
       String accessToken = event.at("//authorizationEventObject/userOauthToken")
               .asText();
       Credential credential = new Credential(BearerToken.authorizationHeaderAccessMethod());
       credential.setAccessToken(accessToken);

       Gmail gmailClient = new Gmail.Builder(
               GoogleNetHttpTransport.newTrustedTransport(),
               JacksonFactory.getDefaultInstance(),
               credential)
               .setApplicationName("GSAO Demo")
               .build();
       HttpHeaders headers = new HttpHeaders()
               .set("X-Goog-Gmail-Access-Token", messageToken);
       Message message = gmailClient.users().messages().get("me", messageId)
               .setFormat("metadata")
               .setRequestHeaders(headers)
               .execute();
     // Build and return response...
   }
}

Node.JS

import express from "express";
import { Request, Response } from "express";
import { google } from "googleapis";
import asyncHandler from "express-async-handler";
import { OAuth2Client } from "google-auth-library";

const gmail = google.gmail({version: "v1"});

const app = express();

app.post("/", asyncHandler(async (req, res) => {
   const currentMessageId = req.body.gmail.messageId;
   const event = req.body;
   const accessToken = event.authorizationEventObject.userOAuthToken;
   const messageToken = event.gmail.accessToken;
   const auth = new OAuth2Client();
   auth.setCredentials({access_token: accessToken});

   const gmailResponse = await gmail.users.messages.get({
       id: currentMessageId,
       userId: "me",
       format: "metadata",
       auth,
       headers: { "X-Goog-Gmail-Access-Token": messageToken }
   });

   const message = gmailResponse.data;
   const response = ...; // Build and return response
   res.json(response);
}));

Example: Get the user's email address

To access a user's email address:

  1. Add the relevant scope to your add-on's deployment resource.
  2. Get the client ID that was created to validate the JSON web token.
  3. Use authorizationEventObject.userIdToken to extract the user ID and email.

Add the scope

To get access to a user's email address, add the OAuth scope https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.email to your add-on's deployment resource:

{
  "oauthScopes": [
    "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.email",
  ],
  "addOns": {
    "common": {...},
  }
}

Get the client ID

To verify the user ID token and extract the user ID and email, you must use the client ID that was created to validate the JSON web token.

To get the client ID, visit the Google Workspace Marketplace SDK in the Google Cloud console:

  1. Open the Google Cloud console and select your add-on's Google Cloud project.
  2. Go to the Google Workspace Marketplace SDK's Alternate Runtimes page.
  3. In the Authorization Resource section, go to the Oauth Client Id field and copy the ID.

Alternatively, if you've installed Google Cloud CLI, get the client ID by running the following get-authorization command:

gcloud workspace-add-ons get-authorization

Extract the user ID and email

The following code sample gets the user ID and email address. CLIENT_ID_FOR_ADDON is a placeholder for the client ID:

Java

import com.google.api.client.googleapis.auth.oauth2.GoogleIdToken;
import com.google.api.client.googleapis.auth.oauth2.GoogleIdTokenVerifier;
import com.google.api.client.googleapis.auth.oauth2.GoogleTokenResponse;
import com.google.api.client.http.javanet.NetHttpTransport;
import com.google.api.client.json.jackson2.JacksonFactory;

final static String CLIENT_ID = "CLIENT_ID_FOR_ADDON";

//...

GoogleIdToken.Payload decodeIdToken(JsonNode event) throws Exception {
    String idToken = event.at("/authorizationEventObject/userIdToken").asText();
    GoogleIdTokenVerifier.Builder builder = new GoogleIdTokenVerifier.Builder(
                GoogleNetHttpTransport.newTrustedTransport(),
                JacksonFactory.getDefaultInstance());
    builder.setAudience(Collections.singletonList(CLIENT_ID);
    GoogleIdTokenVerifier verifier = builder.build();
    GoogleIdToken decodedToken = verifier.verify(idToken);
    GoogleIdToken.Payload payload = decodedToken.getPayload();
    return payload;
    // E.g. payload.getEmail() for email,  payload.getSubject() for user ID
}

Node.JS

const { OAuth2Client } = require('google-auth-library');
const CLIENT_ID = 'CLIENT_ID_FOR_ADDON';

// ...

async decodeIdToken(event) {
   const oAuth2Client = new OAuth2Client();
   const decodedToken = await oAuth2Client.verifyIdToken({
        idToken: event.authorizationEventObject.userIdToken,
        audience: CLIENT_ID
    });
    const payload = decodedToken.getPayload();
    // E.g. payload.email for email,  payload.sub for user ID
    return payload;
}

Example: Validate requests from Google

You need the service account email to verify the authorizationEventObject.systemIdToken.

To get the service account email, visit the Google Workspace Marketplace SDK in the Google Cloud console:

  1. Open the Google Cloud console and select your add-on's Google Cloud project.
  2. Go to the Google Workspace Marketplace SDK's Alternate Runtimes page.
  3. In the Authorization Resource section, go to the Service Account Email field and copy the email address.

The following code sample authenticates requests from Google with the add-on's system service account. SERVICE_ACCOUNT_EMAIL is a placeholder for the service account email.

Java


import com.google.api.client.googleapis.auth.oauth2.GoogleIdToken;
import com.google.api.client.googleapis.auth.oauth2.GoogleIdTokenVerifier;
import com.google.api.client.googleapis.javanet.GoogleNetHttpTransport;
import com.google.api.client.json.jackson2.JacksonFactory;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
import java.util.Collections;
import java.util.List;

class Auth {
    static final String SERVICE_ACCOUNT_EMAIL;

   public static void authenticateRequest(HttpServletRequest httpRequest) throws Exception {
        String authHeader = httpRequest.getHeader("Authorization");

        if (authHeader == null || !authHeader.startsWith("Bearer ")) {
            throw new IllegalArgumentException("Missing authorization header");
        }
        String idToken = authHeader.substring(7);
        String currentUrl = httpRequest.getRequestURL().toString();
        // Verify the ID token -- issued by Google & matches our current URL
        List audience = Collections.singletonList(currentUrl);
        GoogleIdTokenVerifier verifier = new GoogleIdTokenVerifier.Builder(
                GoogleNetHttpTransport.newTrustedTransport(),
                JacksonFactory.getDefaultInstance())
                .setAudience(audience)
                .build();
        GoogleIdToken decodedToken = verifier.verify(idToken);
        if (decodedToken == null) {
            throw new IllegalStateException("Decoded token is null");
        }
        GoogleIdToken.Payload payload = decodedToken.getPayload();

        // Email should also match the service account issued for this add-on
        if (SERVICE_ACCOUNT_EMAIL != null && !serviceAccountEmail.equals(payload.getEmail())) {
            throw new IllegalArgumentException("Invalid email in system idToken");
        }
    }
}

Node.JS

const {OAuth2Client} = require('google-auth-library');
const SERVICE_ACCOUNT_EMAIL = process.env.SERVICE_ACCOUNT_EMAIL;

async function authenticateRequest(req) {
  let idToken = req.token; // Using express-bearer-token middleware
  if (!idToken) throw 'Missing bearer token';
  const audience = `${req.protocol}://${req.hostname}${req.originalUrl}`;
  const authClient = new OAuth2Client();
  const ticket = await authClient.verifyIdToken({idToken, audience});
  if (SERVICE_ACCOUNT_EMAIL && ticket.getPayload().email !== SERVICE_ACCOUNT_EMAIL) {
    throw 'Invalid email';
  }
}
