Adding Google or expanding major app list

I want to dedicate all Google apps to a specific WAN. Is there a possibility of Meraki adding this and other core applications to businesses to the "Major Application List" in SDWAN & Traffic Shaping?
I have added a custom expression and am not sure of the accuracy as such.

To create this type of forwarding you need to use
Flow preferences > Internet traffic, but as you may have already noticed I can't specify target applications, I can only work with the IP or a range of IPs.
 
So I don't see a way to do what you want.

Note pretty, but Google publishes their IP address ranges:

You could add each range you observe as being used as a separate custom policy.

Bonus points if you automate this using a Python script and the API.

@Bsalami , what's involved in getting Google Suite added as a major app for Internet flow preferences?

For this you need the SD-WAN Plus licensed, I hardly see anyone who buys this level of licensing.

You do need an SD-WAN license to use the application based policies.  A standard licence will allow you to create a policy based on the destination subnet.

 

You can also buy SD-WAN Plus for just a single site (it doesn't need to be for every site).

I'm talking about using SD-WAN internet traffic, for enterprise and advantage the Flow preferences > Internet traffic option will be displayed

Interesting. All I can see is this

Because as I said, the option shown by @PhilipDAth  needs the SD-WAN Plus license for enterprise and advantage will be displayed the option Flow Preferences > Internet Traffic

Load a rule for every prefix in the URL I gave you that contains the address space used by Google.

That seems like a very long process and too many entries.
