In my form I want to retrieve data from Google : I have the ${P_initiator.name}-field and want to use this name to get the user's phone number and job title from Google. How can I do that ?

Hi Shobhit,

I want to retrieve the data directly from Google : I want to do a lookup at our domain and get the data from there.
Is that possible ?

I want to use the Google Apps api, can you tell me where I can find a list of variables or examples ?

Hi Rob,

If you drill into our library of connectors (that can be found at the bottom of the left-hand side menu of the portal), looking for Google providers, you will have a good overview of which parts of Google Apps we can interact with and what kind of actions we can perform.
If you're interested in a connector in particular, you can have a look at its description tab, there you'll see the variables you'll need as an input of the connector (could require the use of another connector) and the ones that will be generated as its output.

Hi Rob,

By having a quick look at Google APIs documentation, it seems like there's a way of retrieving a single user's information by performing :
GET https://www.googleapis.com/admin/directory/v1/users/userKey
userKey string Identifies the user in the API request. The value can be the user's primary email address, alias email address, or unique user ID.

This way, by only getting the information you're interested in (connected user's details), you would optimize your query and avoid any timeout.

Here is where I've found the information.

Hi Gareth,

Found it. I am new to RMP so I will need some help so configure this connector.
What I want in short : a user is logged in my web-form so initiator name is known. I want to do a lookup in my Google domain and retrieve user's job title, phone number and department.
My concern : in our domain there are over 6000 users but I only need the ou that starts with 'eu' so a filter needs to be set. My experience is that i get time-out errors if i want to retrieve this data.
Another option would be to create a table that retrieves the data needed first and make a daily-refresh (scheduled).

Do you think this can be done ?

regards,
