  • Configured OAuth2 for Gmail in n8n: Set up OAuth2 authentication for Gmail, including credential management and scopes setup.
  • Streamlined OAuth Flows: Explored options for integrating OAuth flows with n8n, using App Engine as a redirect URI and deploying n8n to App Engine for a cloud-hosted solution.

Achievements
