Integration with Google
Two procedures below explain how to enable the Google integration and schedule video meetings with Google Meet. The reCAPTCHA third-party integration is from Google Cloud.
How To
JICS offers a calendar synchronization option allowing users to view their Google calendar meetings and events on their JICS calendars. An administrator can enable Google integration on the Third-party integrations page in Site Manager by performing the following steps:
Create an institutional Google account or verify that you already have one that you can use with JICS.

Create a Google API project and enable the APIs for Google Calendar and Google Drive.

Set up OAuth authentication credentials to obtain a Google client ID and secret.

Note
In this step, you will need to copy the redirect URI from the Third-party integrations page in Site Manager and enter it in your Google credentials.
On the Third-party integrations page in Site Manager, take the following steps:
At the top of the page, select Google from the drop-down list.
Click the following options to set them to On for the integrations you want to enable:
Google Meet calendar integration
Google Drive file upload assignments (available only to eLearning-enabled clients)
Enter the client ID and secret provided by Google and click Save.
You can schedule video meetings directly from the Calendar feature via JICS's integration with Google Meet. When creating a calendar event, simply select Add a Google Meet link.

Note
If you select this option, you may be redirected to Google after saving to connect an account or allow needed permissions.
When viewing the calendar item, you'll see a link to the video meeting.

Click that link to open Google Meet and start your meeting.

Google Cloud's reCAPTCHA is a third-party integration option for clients in Site Manager. To access the settings for this integration, click the Third-party integrations tab. At the top of the Third-party integrations page, click the drop-down arrow and select reCAPTCHA on the drop-down list. The Key and Secret fields are shown.
 |
Information about reCAPTCHA appears above the fields:
The reCAPTCHA setting adds a layer of protection against spam and automated abuse. To get started and learn more about using this security service, refer to Google Cloud's reCAPTCHA information on its website, e.g., https://cloud.google.com/security/products/recaptcha.
Clients must contact Google to receive values for the Key and Secret fields. Both required fields are blank by default (no values) and have a maximum character limit of 200. After you enter values in these fields, click Save. Saving these values will enable reCAPTCHA functionality to be used in JICS. As of the JICS 2026.1 Release, the reCAPTCHA feature is only configured for use by the User self-registration page. However, it could be configured for use by new features in future releases.
If both the Key and Secret fields are left blank (no characters are entered) and you click Save, no error occurs because the blank values are saved in the database. A green success message appears at the top stating: "Your changes were saved successfully." This functionality enables you to clear saved values from the database if needed.
An error message appears if only one field has character values, but the other field does not. Clicking Cancel clears any values in the fields on the Third-party integrations page and closes the page without saving.
