I am new to Google App Script. I have done coding in the google script app. I have deployed the app by the deploy option which is available in the google app script. After deployment, I am not able to find my add-on in Google Workspace Marketplace.
Is there any way to use an add-on without publishing it?
I have deployed the add-on with the deploy option which is available in the app script.
You need to publish an Add-on to find it on Marketplace
- For this follow the steps as explained in the documentation
- Deploying your script as an Add-on is only one of the several steps you need to follow
- Apart from this, you need to create a project in the Google Cloud Console
- Bind your script to this project
- Set-up the OAuth screen for the project. Depending on either you would like to publish a privat or public Add-on - you might need to submit your [OAuth screen and the used scopes] for verification
- Then, you need to enable and configure the Marketplace SDK in your Cloud project
- You need to deploy your script as an Add-on (this is the step you already did) and indicate the script id and deployment number within the Marketplace SDK tab
APP CONFIGURATION
- Specify if you would like to deploy a private or public Add-on
- Complete the rest of the configuration and the STORE LISTING tab
- If you are intending to publish a public Add-on - you need to submit it for verification and get an approval. If it's a private one (only accesible for your domain), you can publish it straightaway and will see the URL to the Marketplace listing.
As you see, the steps to publish an Add-on onGoogle Marketplace are quite laborous.
To use the Add-on without publishing it, you can use it in testing mode as described here for Google Worskpace Addons and here for Editor Addons. Keep in mind that the testing mode has some limitations.
