Hello,

I have developed a Google Calendar add-on that requires users to enter their own host address to connect to an externally hosted service (self hosted). However, Google Apps Script requires all external host addresses to be pre-defined in the "allowed URLs" list before publishing the add-on. Since we can't predict what address the user will enter, this presents a challenge.

One possible solution we're considering is setting up a proxy server. This server’s URL would be added to the allowed list in the manifest, and it would forward requests to the user's specified host address. My question is: would this approach pass the Google review process for publishing the add-on?

Thank you in advance.

Best regards,
