Once you have given our service account access, the next step is to add the integration on the RICOH Spaces side. This guide will show you all the steps to integrate Google Workplace into RICOH Spaces successfully.
Before following the steps below, make sure you have added your Google Workspace Service Account. Here is an article to help.
Google workspace Integration
1. Head to your Organisation Settings Module.
2. Click on Integrations.
3. Select Google Workplace.
4. Complete the fields in the newly opened window. You can find more information about it below.
Note: If RICOH Spaces isn't working following the integration process, please check that the Google Calendar API has been enabled on the project that the service account has been created in
Client ID
This is the ID of your G Suite customer account. There are a number of ways you can find this.
A. Navigate to this page on G Suite admin and look for the ID at the end of the query string.
B. Navigate to this page on Google Play and it will be listed as Organisation ID.
C. Use the command line
--header 'Authorization: Bearer [$ACCESSTOKEN]' \
--header 'Accept: application/json' \
--compressed
Admin E-Mail
This is required to use the directory sync functions and to read calendar resource information without a user, please use the generic booking account you used in the previous step. Google requires us to utilise the admin email when booking requests within users' calendars or when syncing directory resources.
The email used requires access to create/manage directory resources along with creating bookings for users.
No password is needed, the previous step for Client ID access will handle this automatically.
Private Key
This will be from your GCP service account, once uploaded this cannot be downloaded or read by anyone other than the system programmatically. You can create this JSON file in GCP and set permissions accordingly.
Please see Google Workspace service account for more information.
Room Calendar Integration
1. Within the RICOH Spaces web app, head to the Organisation Settings tab.
2. Select your location and head to the Spaces section.
3. Click on the desired room's edit button.
4. In its Calendar section, add the email address.
