Hi,

How do I get the email address as a part of the Token in the response, it does not have it, and somewhere in the documentation it says to Use scopes but I am not getting a reference on how to use it

I am using Google V7  
auth0.login({  
connection: ‘google-oauth2’,  
}, function(err) {  
if (err) alert("something went wrong: " + err.message);  
});

To retrieve the email as part of the token, you need to specify the `email` scope:

```
auth0.login({
       connection: 'google-oauth2', 
       scope: 'openid email'
     }, 
     function(err) { 
        if (err) alert("something went wrong: " + err.message); 
     });

```

This is outlined in the Auth0js docs: [Auth0.js v9 Reference](https://auth0.com/docs/libraries/auth0js/v7)
