Updating API Controls

Learn how to update your API Controls in Google Workspace to give teachers and staff important access

Updated this week

SchoolAI recently updated their project on Google Console. Please follow the steps below to update the API controls in your google workspace to enable the teachers and staff to export content to Google Docs and Slides and to use the SchoolAI Chrome extension.

Steps to Update API Controls

  1. Open Google Admin Console
    Navigate to your Google Admin Console.

  2. Access Security Settings

    • Select Security

    • Go to Access and data control

    • Choose API controls

  3. Manage App Access

    • Select Manage third-party app access

    • Click Configure new app

  4. Add the Correct SchoolAI App

    • Search for SchoolAI

    • You will see two client IDs

      • The new, correct one starts with 624

      • The old one starts with 664

    • Select the client ID that begins with 624

    • Click Add

  5. Set App Trust Level

    • Mark the app as Trusted within your organization​

You do not need to modify or delete the app with the old client ID that starts with 664. Keeping it will not interfere with the new configuration, but it will no longer be useable.

If your teachers or staff are still receiving the error message "this app is blocked" after re-configuring your API controls, please reach out to SchoolAI Support for assistance.


Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if I don’t add the new 624 client ID?

Teachers and staff will lose the ability to export content to Google Docs or Google Slides, and the SchoolAI Chrome extension may fail to authenticate properly.

How can I confirm that the new SchoolAI app is trusted?

In the API controls section of your Admin console, under Manage third-party app access, ensure the app with the 624 ID appears and is marked as Trusted.

Do teachers need to take any action after this update?

The next time the user goes to use a Google service within SchoolAI, they will be prompted to grant SchoolAI access to their Google Account.
