Setting up your Google Workspace user import

Before you begin, make sure you understand the ways of filtering the data you import.

Creating an import configuration

To find Cloud Data Imports:

Navigate to Configuration > Platform Configuration > Data > Cloud Data Imports.

To create an import configuration:

  1. At the top right of the configurations list, click + Add New.

    Note

    If this is your first import configuration, click the button that says No import configurations are set up. Click here to create your first import.

  2. Give your import a clear and unique name.
  3. Click Create.
  4. (Optional) Add a description in the Description field to explain what the import does.

To choose the data source:

  1. Click the Data Source tab.

  2. In the Data Source Settings area, in the Import field, click the edit icon.

  3. In the Hornbill Integration Bridge dialog, select Cloud Data Imports > Users > Google Workspace.

  4. Click Apply.

    The Source / Import Options section appears, with settings you can customize.

To customize the settings in the Data Source tab:

  1. Use the edit buttons to make your choices.
  2. Make sure to read the information about source/import options as you configure your import.

Source/import options

This section covers the options available when setting up your Google Workspace user import. These settings give you control over what gets imported, when, and how.

Important

About memberships and role assignments

When you are configuring your import in the Data Source tab, there are two essential import options you need to be aware of: memberships and role assignments.

A user record is useful only if it has been assigned to a membership. A membership is an organizational grouping in Hornbill, such as Department or Company. The record can be assigned to an organizational grouping as Member, Team Leader, or Manager. You can create any number of memberships to apply to the users you are importing.

For important details, refer to Memberships and roles as you are assigning memberships and roles in your import configuration.

Keysafe Key

Choose the KeySafe Key you created earlier. This is what allows Hornbill to securely access your Google Workspace account.

Customer ID (Optional)

Enter your Google Workspace Customer ID. If you leave this blank, my_customer will be used by default.

Domain (Optional)

Specify your primary domain to import users from, if you want to limit the import.

Query (Optional)

Use this to search or filter users based on different profile fields, including custom fields.
See Google’s Search Users documentation for examples.

Important

If no query is provided, all users from your Google Workspace domain will be imported!

Return Deleted User

Choose whether to include deleted users in the import.

Action

Choose what Hornbill should do with the users it finds:

  • Create – Only adds new users who don’t already exist in Hornbill.
  • Update – Only updates users who already exist in Hornbill.
  • Create & Update – Adds new users and updates existing ones.

Account Status

Set the status of the users being imported (e.g. Active, Inactive), and choose when this status should be applied.

User Properties

Define how user data should map to Hornbill fields during import.

  • Supports Mustache templates for custom formatting or combining data.
  • Input fields offer auto-complete to help you select fields from your Google Workspace source.

Filtering: Import only the users you need

You don’t have to bring in every user record. Use queries to filter users by department, location, or other fields.

Check out Google’s example queries for ideas.
