Step 1 - Rocketseed Service Account

To allow Rocketseed to authenticate to your Google Woorkspace Console you are required to create a Service account inside the project that you have created as well as provide the necessary permissions to Rocketseed so that the relevant users can receive their signatures.

• Create Service Account

Log onto http://console.cloud.google.com/ using your Google Admin account. Once logged in please navigate to the hamburger menu in the top left  then select IAM & Admin > Service Accounts

• Click Create Service Account

• Service Account name = Rocketseed Signature

• Click Create And Continue

• Grant this service account access to the project - Under Role select the drop down menu and search for Service Account Admin. 

• Once selected click on Done

• The service account will be created and displayed as below

• Click on the email that was generated during the service account creation and under details there will be a Unique ID. Please copy the ID as this will be used in the second step(Domain Wide Delegation)

Please note that the Unique ID is an example and yours will be a different set of numbers.

• Once you have copied the Unique ID navigate to KEYS.

• Click ADD KEY drop down menu and select Create new key

• Key Type = JSON

• Click Create

• Once the key has been created the JSON file will download automatically and can be located under your Downloads folder. The key file is very important as it allows Rocketseed to authenticate to your google tenant to apply the signature. Please provide this key file to the Rocketseed support team.

Step 2 - Service Account Domain Wide Delegation

After you have completed the service account creation and JSON key creation you will need to log onto https://admin.google.com using your Google workspace Admin account. The domain wide delegation will provide rocketseed  the relevant permissions to authenticate with your google tenant account.

• Once logged in please navigate to the hamburger menu on the left and select Security > Access and Data Control > API Controls

• Under Domain Wide Delegation select Manage Domain Wide Delegation.

• Click Add New

• Insert the Unique ID that was copied in the first step into the “Client ID” field

• Insert the following Google API scopes into the “OAuth scopes” field

1. https://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.settings.basic

2. https://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.settings.sharing

• Click Authorise

Please note: Google propagates these types of changes over a 24 hour period. Once the above has been completed please advise the Rocketseed support team.

Step 3 - Further Actions

• Setting Reply Signature - On you Gmail settings button to select to use the signature on compose as your reply signature please navigate to the Gear Icon > See all settings > Scroll down until you see Signature > Signature default select > On reply/forward use “My Signature”

• Insert Signature Before Quoted Text - Placing your signature above quoted text means attaching it below what you type when sending an email. If you don't choose this from your email settings, the signature will show at the end of the thread with all of the replies.
