About this article
Automatically provision and de-provision users in Vendr using Google Workspace. This article covers creating a Google Workspace API token, installing the integration, and syncing user profile fields.
How it works
The Google Workspace integration syncs your Google users into Vendr in just a few clicks. Connecting Vendr to your Google Workspace instance lets you quickly deploy Vendr across your entire organization. Whenever a user is added or leaves your organization, they'll automatically be added or removed from your Vendr organization.
Important Note:
We do not support multi-domain access to the Vendr app. All users must have an email that matches the domain in your Vendr Instance. Contact support with questions.
