<aside> 💡 Before reading this guide, make sure you’ve read through Quickstart: How to build a Plugin to set up your sandbox plugin.

To get up and running with an example, you can clone our remove-bg example plugin on Github.

Step 1: Create a Function

Sign in to your Google Cloud and go to https://console.cloud.google.com/functions to create a function

Allow unauthenticated invocations so Playbook can access your function

Step 2: Upload or write your code

You can use our remove-bg example here for a quick set up

• use ZIP from Cloud Storage if you want to develop locally and then push and have the function be updated that way or Inline Editor to make quick changes and deploy right away

Step 3: Deploy the function

Click deploy on the bottom left of the screen and grab the URL to your function at the top of the screen or click “TRIGGER” if you have multiple entry points to grab the HTTPS one.

Step 4: Connect it to Playbook

Under the Plugins tab of https://www.playbook.com/account, you can create/edit your Sandbox Plugin to use your API URL as the Plugin Invocation URL.

<aside> ✅ Congratulations! You should now be able to invoke your plugin and see activity in your Cloud Functions logs.
