# 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.
***
### Connect Google Workspace Vendor Discovery to Sprinto
#### Steps in Sprinto
1. Sign in to the Sprinto dashboard.
2. Go to **Settings → Integrations**.
3. Search for **Google Workspace**.
4. Ensure **Google Workspace – Identity Provider** shows as **Connected**.
5. Under **Google Workspace – Vendor Discovery**, select **Connect**.
6. Review the permissions and data usage details, then select **Next**.
7. Confirm that you have Super Admin access to Google Workspace.
8. Select **Connect Google Workspace** to initiate authentication.
***
#### Steps in Google Workspace
1. In the Google OAuth window:
1. Select your admin account.
2. Sign in if required.
3. Review requested permissions.
4. Click **Allow**.
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.
