How to subscribe to Google Workspace (G Suite) notifications

Google Workspace, formerly G Suite, offers APIs that allow users to extend the functionality of its productivity and collaboration tools by building custom workflows and security responses for specific events through webhooks. This process involves subscribing to Google Workspace endpoints to receive push notifications for user account events, thereby facilitating the creation of tailored security responses. Authentication is achieved using OAuth 2.0 with server-to-server communication, utilizing service accounts and JWT tokens to avoid the need for interactive authorization. The setup requires creating and managing API credentials, and it is crucial to verify domains and renew push notification subscriptions due to expiration limits. Tools like Tines facilitate testing and building workflows, enabling users to automate responses to events such as password changes or multi-factor authentication updates. Workflows can trigger further actions, such as sending emails or initiating incident responses, demonstrating the flexibility and extensibility of using Google Workspace APIs to enhance organizational processes.
