3-legged OAuth for Google API console app?

I've been playing around, and created simple console app in C# that reads my gmail inbox, searches for email from the gym, and if I've scheduled group training and got the response email, creates google reminder. When I ran the app in local all works fine.

But I want to deploy it to Azure and created WebJob, and that is where the problems start. Locally I get pop-up window where I give app permission, but I cannot to that in WebJob. Than I created a service account, but I cannot enable domain-wide authority to the service account because I do not have G Suite, I use regular gmail. What are my options here? I've been reading and OAuth 2.0 Three legged implementation seems like the way to go?

If you are trying to have this app just for your gmail inbox then you can get a refresh token (locally for your app) and just hardcode that in your app.

If you want to make this app for other users then you'll have to do a lot more work and apply for app verification and implement 3 legged auth.
