    Hi! Download the web client generated by google in client credentials and try again.

    If you face issues in getting a token. copy the token from the url starting with 4 till before scope.

    Hope this helps. My assistant works fine.

    Hey.
    If you cannot get the token, just click on the URL and copy the code in the “?code=” section. Hope this works.
    Also, for the “Configure consent screen”, you have to click the “Edit App” button to to the consent menu.
