What Values Should I Use for Authorization Code and Access Token URL in Google Sheets OAuth2 Credentials?

I'm trying to create a Google Sheets Trigger OAuth2 API credential, but when I set it up it asks for a Grant Type, Authorization Code, and Access Token URL. The documentation (Google OAuth2 single service | n8n Docs) doesn't provide details on what values should be entered for these fields.
I have my Client ID and Client Secret from Google Cloud Console, and these credentials work for the “Google Sheets OAuth2 API” setup. However, I'm unclear what to input for the Authorization Code and the Access Token URL since the required fields seem to be missing proper instructions.
There are no nodes involved because the issue arises during the credential creation process.
Any guidance on what values or configurations I should be using for these fields would be greatly appreciated.
- n8n version: 1.75.2
- Database: SQLite
- Running n8n via Docker on Ubuntu

Below is the configuration that has worked for many users for Google OAuth2 API credentials (including the Sheets Trigger):
- Grant Type: Authorization Code
- Authorization URL: https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth
- Access Token URL: https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token
Make sure that the OAuth Redirect URL displayed in your n8n credential setup is added as an authorized redirect URI in your Google Cloud Console project.
Additional pointers:
- Using the standard values above ensures that n8n can correctly perform the OAuth2 flow with Google.
- This setup is consistent with the Google OAuth2 implementation and is the same whether you’re setting up a single service or generic credential for Google services.
If you continue to encounter issues, double-check that your Client ID, Client Secret, and OAuth Redirect URL are correctly configured and that the necessary APIs are enabled in your Google Cloud Console project.
