External test access to an unpublished Editor Addon in Google Workspace Marketplace

How can an external draft tester get access to an Editor Addon yet unpublished in Google Workspace Marketplace?

I have an Editor Addon for Google Sheets, and trying to make it externally available, unlisted, so that only people with links can access it. As my app uses sensitive scopes, it'll take me a long time to get through verification, etc.

Before that, I want to test the functionality of the app, but I am not able to do so with external testers - the workspace.google.com/marketplace/app link isn't available to external testers even if I add them to the "Draft Testers Email Addresses" list in Store listing.

How do I test that my app correctly works outside of my organization before submitting for verification?

Solution

  • Ok, so what actually works is:

    1. In OAuth consent screen, I moved Publishing Status of my app from In Production to Testing

    2. A new field "Test users" appeared. There I can put my test users

    3. I have to put the same users in the Store Listing "Draft Testers Email Addresses" list.

      Then those users will be able to see the workspace.google.com/marketplace/app link and install the plugin.

    "Very intuitive"...
