# Google Cloud Functions Enhancements

We have updated our [Google Cloud Functions]({{< ref "destinations/streaming-destinations/google-cloud-functions.md" >}})  integration to support a new authentication mechanism. 

RudderStack no longer requires the [Google Cloud authorization token](https://cloud.google.com/functions/docs/securing/authenticating#authenticating_developer_testing) or the [API key ID](https://cloud.google.com/docs/authentication/api-keys) for authenticating your cloud function. Instead, you can specify your **service account credentials JSON** to access the Google Cloud Function API and authenticate your cloud function while setting up the destination.

See our [Google Cloud Functions]({{< ref "destinations/streaming-destinations/google-cloud-functions.md" >}}) documentation for more information on the updated settings.
