Hey @shuaib_mohamed !

Ae you on self-hosted or Cloud version?

If is cloud version, is normal… you have just to click connect since n8n cloud handles that in background.

In self-hosted version you can set that details .

Hi @shuaib_mohamed welcome to the community!

If you could copy-paste a screenshot that will help diagnose the issue further… just remember to black out any secrets from the screenshot.

What steps have you followed to create the google credentials?

Did you follow the n8n docs to create your Google oAuth client credentials?

That’s how it supposed to work @shuaib_mohamed , it seems you are using the Cloud n8n version.(and n8n it handles by itself in background).

Only in the self-hosted version you can see that type of credentials where you suppose to do it manually.

Cheers!

From your image, I can see

From your screenshot I can see it showing a green box and Account connected. And that you are also trying to connect to Google Calendar. This is expected because we are using OAuth2 Authorization Code Flow - so there is no need for supplying a client ID and secret.

However, if you want to connect say a Google Drive trigger or you want to search a google drive, this is when you do need to setup and use OAuth2 Client Credential Flow, and this does require supplying a Client ID and Secret.

For example below this is what shows when I try to setup a trigger on a Google Drive

What this shows me is that I think you are connecting to your own personal Google calendar and so the credential flow needed is Authorization Code Flow and so does not required supplying the Client ID and Secret.

Are you haveing any issues connecting to your calendar?

If you are, please supply some more screenshots, errors and a copy of the workflow and that may help us to diagnose the problem further.
