    4. Copy the Client ID and Client Secret

  4. Configure Environment Variables

    Set these in Vercel project settings (Settings → Environment Variables):

    | Variable | Description | |----------|-------------| | GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID | From step 3 | | GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET | From step 3 | | NEXT_PUBLIC_DOMAIN | Email domain to restrict access (e.g., sentry.io) | | BETTER_AUTH_SECRET | Run: openssl rand -base64 32 | | CRON_SECRET | Run: openssl rand -hex 32 |

  5. Configure Providers

    Add credentials for the providers you want to use:

    | Variable | Provider | |----------|----------| | ANTHROPIC_ADMIN_KEY | Claude Code | | CURSOR_ADMIN_KEY | Cursor | | GITHUB_APP_* | GitHub Commits |
