To use Google steps in your workflows, you'll need to create a GCP service account and delegate authority to that account for the services (scopes) you want to use in Torq, for example, Drive, Vault, Workspace, etc. Google Steps requires a bearer token for authentication. For example, if you want to execute the Google Drive step List all files, you'll first need to execute the Google Drive step Generate a bearer token and use that token as an input parameter for the step List all files.
A bearer token is valid for one hour.
