Looking for config details for the google sheets connector within DataVirtuality.&nbsp; I’m getting the error below:

# This app is blocked

Hi ​ @ColdTrackTom &nbsp;,

When connecting to Google Sheets, did you follow the steps outlined in the [documentation](https://docs.datavirtuality.com/connectors/google-sheets) or was the above block a result from simply trying to log in using your existing Google credentials?

Here is a [step by step guide](https://docs.datavirtuality.com/connectors/google-sheets-authentication) for enabling access and creating credentials inside the Google console. In short, you have to enable APIS AND SERVICES on your project and create OAuth credentials for it.

Hope this answers your question and helps you to connect.
