Automating Google Drive and having this error

How To
1

I have completed the steps for google drive and google cloud, completing all the steps with no errors. However when I try to add my google account with google client steps I get this coded message

“{“message”:“The request failed due to failure of a previous request.”,“code”:“SC424”,“suberrors”:[{“message”:“Status Code Error: 401”,“name”:“RuntimeError”}],“debug”:[[“request”,“POST”,“https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/token",{“body”:{“code”:“***”,“client_id”:"(removed client id) “,“grant_type”:“authorization_code”,“redirect_uri”:“https://www.integromat.com/oauth/cb/google-restricted",“client_secret”:“***”},“headers”:{“user-agent”:“Make/production”,“content-type”:“application/x-www-form-urlencoded”},“timeout”:40000,“type”:“urlencoded”}],[“response”,401,{“body”:{“error”:“invalid_client”,“error_description”:“Unauthorized”},“headers”:{“expires”:"Mon, 01 Jan 1990 00:00:00 GMT”,“cache-control”:“no-cache, no-store, max-age=0, must-revalidate”,“pragma”:“no-cache”,“date”:“Sun, 26 Oct 2025 00:35:06 GMT”,“content-type”:“application/json; charset=utf-8”,“vary”:“X-Origin, Referer, Origin,Accept-Encoding”,“server”:“scaffolding on HTTPServer2”,“x-xss-protection”:“0”,“x-frame-options”:“SAMEORIGIN”,“x-content-type-options”:“nosniff”,“alt-svc”:“h3=\”:443\”; ma=2592000,h3-29=\”:443\“; ma=2592000”,“accept-ranges”:“none”,“connection”:“close”,“transfer-encoding”:“chunked”}}]]}”

How do I fix this?

How to Connect and Use Google APIs in Make!

0. Prerequisites

1. Enable Google APIs

2. OAuth Client

Direct Link: https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials

  • 2a. Create “OAuth client ID” Credentials

    455×206 15.2 KB

  • 2b. Insert all the Google Redirect URIs for your app

    302×200 7.32 KB

    Insert All Google Redirect URIs

    Here are some commonly-needed redirect URIs you need for your Google Cloud Console OAuth app. If you set these up, you can reuse the same GCP app for other Google apps and modules on Make.

    https://www.make.com/oauth/cb/oauth2
https://www.make.com/oauth/cb/google
https://www.make.com/oauth/cb/google/
https://www.make.com/oauth/cb/google-email
https://www.make.com/oauth/cb/google-custom
https://www.make.com/oauth/cb/google-restricted
https://www.make.com/oauth/cb/google-cloud-speech
https://www.make.com/oauth/cb/google-search-console
https://www.make.com/oauth/cb/google-analytics-4
https://www.make.com/oauth/cb/google-ads2
https://www.make.com/oauth/cb/google-ads2/
https://www.make.com/oauth/cb/youtube
https://www.make.com/oauth/cb/chrome

    Including These Google Redirect URIs

    You are also required to insert the legacy URLs below from the old Integromat system that not been migrated to Make yet (same as the above list, but replace “make” with “integromat”):

    https://www.integromat.com/oauth/cb/oauth2
https://www.integromat.com/oauth/cb/google
https://www.integromat.com/oauth/cb/google/
https://www.integromat.com/oauth/cb/google-email
https://www.integromat.com/oauth/cb/google-custom
https://www.integromat.com/oauth/cb/google-restricted
https://www.integromat.com/oauth/cb/google-cloud-speech
https://www.integromat.com/oauth/cb/google-search-console
https://www.integromat.com/oauth/cb/google-analytics-4
https://www.integromat.com/oauth/cb/google-ads2
https://www.integromat.com/oauth/cb/google-ads2/
https://www.integromat.com/oauth/cb/youtube
https://www.integromat.com/oauth/cb/chrome

    Note 1: Due to inconsistencies in Make’s implementation of the connections, there are two separate entries where has one is google and another ending in a forward slash google/ - you might need one or the other, so we have to use both!

    Note 2: Once you’ve set these up, you can use/reuse the same Google OAuth App ID + Secret for all the supported Google connections and modules on Make - you’ll just have to enable the relevant Google APIs!

3. OAuth consent screen

Direct Link: https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials/consent/edit

  • 3a. Insert Two Authorised Domains

    • Insert make.com and integromat.com

    • Fill in other required fields

    • Click “Save and Continue”.

      390×301 14.1 KB

  • 3b. Add All Scopes

    • Click “Add or Remove Scopes”

    • Select 100 “Rows per page”, for each page, check all the rows, OR

    • Manually type in the scopes you need

    • Click “Update” at the bottom

    1476×1156 182 KB

  • 3c. Step through and go to dashboard

    At the last step/page, click “BACK TO DASHBOARD” instead of “Prepare for Verification”

  • 3d. Publish your GCP OAuth2 app

    You will need to set your OAuth application to “Production”, otherwise the credentials expire very frequently.

    • To do this, go back to “OAuth consent screen”

    • Then click the “PUBLISH APP” button

    • Then click the “CONFIRM” button

4. Create New Connection (HTTP, or respective Google module)

You can find the Client ID and Client Secret in the OAuth2 app you created in GCP, on the right-hand side of where you inserted the callback URLs in step 2:

  • 4a. Specific Google module (Sheets, Docs, Drive, Gmail, etc.)

    Insert the GCP app client ID and secret here BEFORE clicking “Sign in”

    (Gmail example)

    525×643 65.1 KB

    OR,

  • 4b. HTTP OAuth 2.0 Request module

    708×401 44.2 KB

    You need a “Authorize Parameters” key of redirect_uri with the above Make OAuth2 callback URL.
