Setup

  • Access to the Partner Portal is granted after approval for an Actions Center Appointments Redirect integration.

  • A secure SSH public/private key pair is required to log in to Google's SFTP servers.

  • Your public key is entered in the Partner Portal's Onboarding Tasks tab to initialize SFTP servers for sandbox and production environments.

  • The Google SFTP server is accessed using an SFTP client at sftp://partnerupload.google.com on port 19321 with your private key.

  • Additional setup tasks like granting user access, configuring brands, and enabling features can be done within the Partner Portal after initialization.

After you are approved for an Actions Center Appointments Redirect integration, you will gain access to Partner Portal to help you manage your integration. To learn more about Partner Portal, please reference here.

Create a SSH public / private key pair

This pair of keys is used to securely log in to the Google-provided SFTP servers. The public key has the following format:

ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAADAQABAAABAQCXsM9ycbHV6E6t2L+B4p/uYHn9Q0jmu5gUXMYnFnnf4l39xrznfDo8KCASzRrqUkRnuzrno059CvZVzcljkbwWLzKKoE1EwbzHL3nYahMB4MdYNWhBbHbB+ybq6RNO7hkoKDBIQCfqQDY0FEB6sV3d3F1WYl0bAMjp15yyZJzMKa/rRnZKWetHlcL1X+gFWmW2hQ93foPD463gb58/25GujjsS/tzjngw7UJMVkm08U1QEY3z3DE/R++7ovJozTCzH0CTNDN0AH3/oSC3dmG+yDh3ZXFATjWjyPXJSOziNrp9TXgJhlqSmoHcPvpotMVjx21kIZ+T+SusQmnG+hK+L user@yourdomain.com

Don't include new line breaks in the key.

Initialize the SFTP servers

Once you sign in to the Partner Portal, perform the following steps:

  1. Browse to the Onboarding Tasks tab.
  2. Enter your public SSH key.
  3. Click Submit.

This creates a set of SFTP servers for both sandbox and production environments for you to use. You can find the SFTP server usernames in the Feed page (documentation) within the Partner Portal.

Next steps

At this point, you can use the Partner Portal. You can optionally perform the following setup tasks:

  1. Within the Account and Users page, grant additional users in your organization access to the Partner Portal.
  2. Within the Brands page, configure the default Brand and set up new Brands in your Sandbox and Production environments.
  3. Depending on your integration, within the Features page, enable or disable additional features. These configurations are environment specific.
