I refreshed my full sandbox and last time I had to add a new connection to the same sandbox. What can I do to reauth my connections so that I don’t have to add a new connection each time I refresh my sandbox? I remember I added a new connection, and then somehow the old connection worked- so hoping people have answers on that, thank you! ---

Hi @Servings_Make Have you tried clicking the three dots to the left and then Connections? ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/make/original/3X/6/8/68c31e140ff0dc7cd756d70f639f5e805c619a29.png) You can probably Reauthorize it there. @damato ---

Yes I already did that and gave me an error because Make is not set up in my sandbox. ---

That is standard behavior of the sandbox itself, not Make. From Salesforce docs: > A sandbox refresh deletes and recreates the sandbox as a copy of the production org. This process reverses any manual access changes you made. If you created sandbox-only users, then they no longer exist. Other users’ profile and permissions revert to their values in the production org. After a refresh, make any access changes in the new copy. @damato ---

Yes and I still have existing connections to the sandbox from Make to Salesforce? How do I ideally use these connections to connect to the sandbox as opposed to doing it all over again with a new connection? ---

> Yes and I still have existing connections to the sandbox from Make to Salesforce? Make does not keep state of external apps. If something is destroyed outside Make, you must either recreate the exact same credentials in the external app (if possible) or create a new connection in Make. ---
