Google Social Login

Our Social Login feature allows members to easily sign-up and sign-in to your platform using their existing Google account. The easy to set-up feature ensures your members the ease of a quick login process without the need to create another secure password to remember.

The following steps guide you through connecting your CMNTY Platform with Google. Steps 1-13 are done within your Google account. Steps 14-18 are done in your CMNTY Platform Admin Section:

  1. Go to https://console.developers.google.com/project. You’ll need a valid Google Account (usually a Gmail account) in order to proceed.
  2. Press the blue Create Project button in the upper left corner. A pop-up will appear with an input field labeled Project Name. Fill it in and press the blue Create button. It may take a few seconds before your project is created.
  3. Optional step: Google may request SMS verification. Verify your phone number if you want to use the Google Cloud Platform.
  4. Select API manager from the side menu on the left.

  12. Press the blue Create button.
  13. A pop up with your Client ID and Client secret appears.
  14. Log into your CMNTY Platform.
