# Google Workspace Vendor Discovery Integration

The Google Workspace Vendor Discovery integration enables Sprinto to automatically discover third-party vendors accessed through Google Workspace single sign-on (SSO). Sprinto identifies vendors by analysing application access and sign-in data available in Google Workspace.

This integration helps you maintain an accurate vendor inventory and supports continuous compliance monitoring. It requires **Google Workspace to be connected as an Identity Provider** before Vendor Discovery can be enabled.

Sprinto uses **read-only Google Admin APIs** and does not modify any data in your Google Workspace environment.

**Prerequisites**

- Google Workspace connected to Sprinto as an **Identity Provider**
- Google Workspace Business or Enterprise plan
- Super Admin access to the Google Workspace domain
- Admin access in Sprinto

---

### How it works

Once enabled, Sprinto authenticates with Google Workspace using OAuth and analyses:

- Applications accessed through Google Workspace SSO
- User sign-in and audit logs
- Application usage patterns across the organisation

Sprinto uses this information to:

- Automatically discover vendors accessed through Google Workspace SSO
- Populate and maintain your vendor inventory
- Support vendor risk assessment and compliance workflows

Sprinto performs an initial discovery after connection and continues to refresh vendor data automatically.

After authorisation, you are redirected back to Sprinto.

---

#### Confirm successful connection

Once the connection is complete:

- The integration status updates to **Connected**
- Sprinto begins analysing Google Workspace SSO usage
- Vendor discovery checks become active

---

### Post-integration behaviour (PCF flow)

After the integration is enabled:

- Sprinto discovers vendors accessed through Google Workspace SSO
- Newly identified vendors appear in the vendor inventory
- Vendor data is refreshed automatically based on audit and usage reports
- You can proceed with risk assessment and due diligence workflows for discovered vendors

Initial discovery may take several minutes, depending on domain size and SSO usage.

---

### Troubleshooting

#### Unable to connect Vendor Discovery

**Cause:** Google Workspace Identity Provider is not connected.\
**Resolution:** Connect Google Workspace as an Identity Provider first, then retry the Vendor Discovery integration.

---

#### Vendors not appearing after connection

**Cause:** Insufficient permissions or limited SSO activity.\
**Resolution:** Verify that all requested scopes were granted and allow time for initial discovery to complete.

---

#### Consent prompt does not appear

**Cause:** The signed-in user does not have Super Admin privileges.\
**Resolution:** Sign in using a Super Admin account and retry the integration.
