How to set up automated Google Indexing

In order to allow ERPNext to request Google crawlers to index a web page, you need to authorize ERPNext to send a request whenever the user requests the data. Google Drive Integration is set up with the following steps:

  • Create OAuth 2.0 Credentials via Google Settings

  • Enable indexing in the Website Settings

  • Now click on Authorize API Indexing Access to authorize ERPNext to send a publish request.

  • Once Authorized, an indexing request is automatically sent on creation/update/trash of any new blog post or web pages created via the user.
