Thank you so much Xray Automation. I want to ask if, I will need to go through same process to connect my google drive to make?

[@XRayAutomation]

Nope, a personal google drive shouldn’t need the same type of extra configuration. Just connect it directly to Make.com and you’re good to go!

thanks but have one concern: received this message after authorization "You have until November 29th 2024, 07:09 AM (Fri) to reauthorize your connection. For more details see our online help." no way to may this permanent?

[@XRayAutomation]

Unfortunately there’s not a way to make a permanent connection right now. Hopefully that changes soon.

[@lexie2184]

Hello and thank you for the wonderful explanation above. I followed it and I am able to connect my gmail and run the first scenario like in your video but when I add the second gmail to send the email it does nothing. How can I fix this? I have tried the whole process more than once. Thanks for your advice.

[@XRayAutomation]

Hey Lexie, this is a bit too technical to troubleshoot in the comments. Kindly join our free open automation hour session: calendly.com/xraytech/open-automation-hours -- we'll try to hop on and help!

[@ronweasly-f5f]

it was all good till the last step then resources not found came up and its not working please help

[@XRayAutomation]

Suppose you're getting a "Resources not found" error after trying to reauthorize the connection. In that case, it typically indicates that the authorization process was not completed successfully, or the connection to the Google account was not established correctly. Here’s what you can do: Remove and Re-add the Connection: Go to the Connections section in Make (formerly Integromat). Find the problematic connection and delete it. Re-add the connection by authorizing your Google account again. Clear Cache and Cookies: Sometimes, lingering session data can interfere. Clear your browser’s cache and cookies, then try reauthorizing. Check Google Account Settings: Ensure that the permissions for Make (Integromat) are still active in your Google account. Go to your Google account's security settings and check connected apps. Use Incognito/Private Browsing Mode: Attempt to reauthorize the connection using an incognito/private browser window to avoid any interference from existing sessions. Verify App Permissions: Ensure that all necessary permissions are granted when you reauthorize the account.

[@cognitiveds-dk7vf]

Hi man! I did the steps, but a few days later, it stop working, telling me that I need a verification. How do I solve this problem?

[@XRayAutomation]

Great call-out. Unfortunately, this is a unique problem for personal Gmail accounts. Periodically you’ll need to reverify. The only way we know of to eliminate that problem is to use a business or school account instead of a personal account.

[@fbravoc9748]

Thanks for the tutorial!!! Amazing content. Will this set up prevent us from having to permanently refresh the connection with our google accounts??

[@XRayAutomation]

Thank you! We really appreciate it. Your options are limited: - buy a domain & use a business google account - use Zapier This is just a quirk of Make.com for now.

[@AQAQ-mf6xl]

why wont the filter let me type "Gmail API"? it shows no results so i cant add the scopes... what am I doing wrong?

[@marcuspollock4389]

Hi, I did everything as you explained in the video. Thanks. Unfortunately every few days Make displays an authorization error and connections to Make have to be manually authorized again in Gmail. What could I have done wrong ? I would greatly appreciate your help.

[@XRayAutomation]

Hi Marcus! Unfortunately, this is a limitation of using a personal Gmail account with Make. Because your Google Cloud project is set to “internal” and “testing”, Google will need to reauthorize every week. However, if you set the project to “external” and “public”, then Google will try to verify that you’re the owner of the authorized domains (integromat.com and make.com). Since you’re not the owner of those domains, that won’t work. Hopefully, Make will build a better integration soon for personal Gmail accounts, so the workaround in this video won’t be needed at all. In the meantime, you’ll have to either keep reauthorizing every week, or try setting up a Google Workspace instead. A Google Workspace account can be connected to Make like any other app, and you won’t need to reauthorize all the time. Workspace plans start at $6/mo. Alternatively, you could also try using Zapier for your Gmail automation instead. It’s a more expensive automation platform than Make, but it will let you connect personal Gmail accounts much more easily, and you shouldn’t need to reauthorize so frequently.

[@איטןמשהדביר]

after a week the scenario was failed "Failed to verify connection 'matak-gmail-connection'. Invalid refresh token. Please reauthorize the connection." , how to refresh the token ?

[@XRayAutomation]

To refresh the token in the scenario where you encounter the error "Failed to verify connection 'matak-gmail-connection'. Invalid refresh token," follow these steps: Go to the Scenario Editor in Make (formerly Integromat). Locate the connection module that is failing. Click on the module to open its settings. In the connection section, click on Reconnect Account or Authorize again. Follow the prompts to reauthorize your Gmail account. This process will refresh the token, allowing the connection to work properly.
