Process of Gmail Authentication:
The Gmail automation enables the user to extract, send, reply, move, read, and save from the mails. Before proceeding to process the automation, the bot authenticates the gmail/ mail account that is specified. This process occurs only on the first time when the activity is used with the mail account entered. This keypath entered in Gmail scope will enable to give access to the mail account specified and only accepts JSON file format.
