Before you start
Before you can create the user integration with Oomnitza, you need to have Added your Google credentials to Oomnitza.
When creating these credentials, the following scope is required:
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/admin.directory.device.chromeos
We recommend that you also create the extended integration for Google Chrome OS assets. You can use the Device ID retrieved in this integration to run the below workflows.

- Select the Information tab. You will notice that the Device ID is referenced in the property
{{google_chromebook_device_id}}
.Follow the mapping steps when creating the extended integration for Google Workspace Chrome OS devices so that this property exists in Oomnitza and is populated with information before you run this workflow. -
Select the Response tab. If the preset is successful, it returns a Command ID. You can retrieve this value by placing
{{response}}
or{{response.commandId}}
in the Response field and mapping it to an Oomnitza field.
