You can configure your own Google connection and credential alias if you do not want to use the default alias Google_calendar.

After you authenticate Google with ServiceNow, instead of configuring the connection and credential alias using the Flow designer connection configuration, you can also create your own connection and credential.

If you want to use the default alias, refer to [Create a Connection and credential record for Google](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/Z_Le9A~~yfYAYmOcc8e0Hg "Connect Google with the ServiceNow using the flow designer to synchronize reservations.").
1. [Setup OAuth connectivity with Google Calendar](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/z7VDjNarNj6ZVkgOJPo7kA)  
   Create an application registry for Google Calendar with ServiceNow to synchronize reservations. Perform this app registration if you want to create your own connection and credential alias for Google Calendar.
