Deploy a Community Connector yourself

  1. Visit Google Apps Script and create a new project.
  2. You should see a shell project with a blank myFunction function in the Code.gs file. Delete the myFunction function and copy over the contents of the main.js file from the repository.
  3. If the repository has any other .js or .gs file, you will need to create those files in Apps Scripts environment(File > New > Script File) and copy over the content.
  4. In the Apps Script development environment, select View > Show manifest file. This will create a new appsscript.json manifest file. Remove all content from this manifest file and replace it with the content of the appsscript.json file in the repository.
  5. To use the Community Connector in Data Studio, follow the guide on Community Connector Developer site.
