Google Workspace is the productivity suite of choice for countless organizations, offering tools like Gmail, Drive, Docs, and more. But as larger businesses adopt it as their primary identity store, automating user management—provisioning, de-provisioning, role assignments—becomes a lot harder.
Here’s the catch: Google Workspace does not fully support SCIM, which means there’s no built-in way for it to push group changes to other systems unless you build a custom integration.
That’s where Scalekit comes in.
Let your Customers Automate User Management with Google Workspace
With Scalekit’s new Google Workspace integration, your customers can now connect their directory and automate user management—without building a custom integration or dealing with SCIM limitations.
Scalekit turns Google Workspace into a SCIM-like provider, delivering automated updates directly into your app.
🛠️ What’s Under the Hood
- Google OAuth Integration: IT admins can connect their Google Workspace account through a secure OAuth workflow. Note: this must be an admin account of the directory being used
- Group Syncing: Once authorized, Scalekit fetches groups from Google Workspace, and admins can choose which groups to sync
- Group-to-Role Mapping : Assign roles in your app based on Google groups membership, just like SCIM
- Automated + Manual Sync: Scalekit performs automated periodic syncs, with optional manual "Sync Now" triggers from the Admin Portal
- Webhook Events: Changes in users/groups (create, update, delete) are delivered to your app through webhooks
- Connection Monitoring: If sync access is revoked or tokens expire, Scalekit alerts both your customers' IT team and your devs via the Admin Portal and prompts reauthorization
💡 Why It Matters
This unlocks automated user management for the most widely-used productivity suite—without forcing your customers to manually update spreadsheets, send CSVs, or build brittle scripts.
With this launch, you now offer:
- A SCIM-like experience for Google Workspace customers
- Faster onboarding and role assignment for IT admins
- Consistent behavior across all supported directories
