🔑 Google API Setup Guide

Getting Gmail + Calendar access takes about 5 minutes. Follow these steps:

Step 1 — Create a Google Cloud Project

  1. Go to console.cloud.google.com
  2. Click "New Project" → name it chief-of-staff → Create
  3. Make sure your new project is selected in the top dropdown

Step 2 — Enable APIs

  1. Go to APIs & Services → Library
  2. Search for and enable:
    • ✅ Gmail API
    • ✅ Google Calendar API

Step 3 — Create OAuth Credentials

  1. Go to APIs & Services → Credentials
  2. Click "+ Create Credentials" → "OAuth client ID"
  3. If prompted, configure the OAuth consent screen first:
    • User type: External
    • App name: Chief of Staff
    • Add your email as a test user
  4. Back in Credentials:
    • Application type: Desktop app
    • Name: chief-of-staff
    • Click Create
  5. Copy the Client ID and Client Secret

Step 4 — Add to .env

GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID=your_client_id_here.apps.googleusercontent.com
GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET=GOCSPX-your_secret_here

Step 5 — First Run (OAuth flow)

On your first run, a browser window will open asking you to authorize the app. After you approve, a data/google_token.json file is saved — you won't need to authorize again.

python main.py --dry-run

Slack Setup (Optional)

  1. Go to api.slack.com/apps → Create New App
  2. Choose "From scratch" → name it Chief of Staff
  3. Go to OAuth & Permissions → add bot token scopes:
    • chat:write
    • chat:write.public
  4. Click Install to Workspace → copy the Bot User OAuth Token
  5. Add to .env: 
    SLACK_BOT_TOKEN=xoxb-your-token-here
SLACK_CHANNEL_ID=C0XXXXXXXXX   # Right-click channel → Copy link → last part of URL
