With GSheetConnector as it requires authentication if you are selecting an Internal user type then you will require the same organizational domain email Id.
Example: If you create an API within an organization i.e gsheetconnector.com then while authentication the user email id must be of the same organization i.e username@gsheetconnector.com
And if you are using an External user type, you would need to verify our app by creating and providing a link to a YouTube video that shows how you will use the data you access using OAuth scopes. This will be a process of 5-6 days if you provide a quick response.
It will require the following points to be considered in the video and must be in English.

How your project’s functionality utilizes the requested scopes:
