How do I fix "This app is blocked" error message when authorizing Symbo to access my calendar and email?

Occasionally company settings prevent the addition of third-party apps without explicitly allowing them. These settings are configurable in Google Workspace (formerly GSuite) by a Google Administrator.

If you encounter the following message while registering, please send this article to your Google Workspace (formerly GSuite) Administrator and have them grant access to Symbo.

This app is blocked

This app tried to access sensitive info in your Google Account. To keep your account safe, Google blocked this access.
