I am integrating SN with G-Cal, when a catalog item is submitted, it should create an event in google calendar. There are 2 methods of authentication and my questions are in red below.

  1. Oauth - 
    The issue with the oauth method is:
    1. It probably expires and will need to be re-authed every now and again - I think we can generate offline token here.
    2. It is using your personal auth not a service account so if your account gets suspended or something then it will stop working - How to go about this path?
  2. Service account - I created a service account in google console. It gave me a key and also downloaded a json credential file. How and where do I use this file in ServiceNow? 

Your help is appreciated!
