I had several scenarios working that would move my unread marketing emails to Trash if they were over 1 day old. This is for my personal inbox - it worked for 5 months and then I started to get time out errors.
Make said to delete the connection, recreate a GCP project and reconnect and I am still getting errors. This is a personal app just for me. I put it into production.
When I try to make the connection I get an error that I can’t use restricted scopes with personal Gmail accounts. If I try to make the connection using advanced settings and putting in API key and the secret, I get an error that Google hasn’t verified this app.
I’ve spent many hours on this - can someone help? I’ve deleted the Make connections multiple times and revoked access in my Google Account and still can’t get it to connect.
Here is the album with screen shots of what I did and the errors:
I understand how frustrating it must be to have something that worked reliably for months suddenly start throwing errors, especially after you’ve already invested time in trying the fixes Make suggested. Google has made changes recently around Gmail API access and “restricted scopes,” which can cause exactly the issues you’re seeing with personal accounts and unverified apps.
It sounds like the main challenge now is that the new security rules are blocking the reconnection, even after revoking access and recreating the GCP project. There are still a few possible approaches we can take to work around this, but they’ll need to be tailored to your account type and the way the scenario is set up.
If you’d like, we can walk through the exact steps together and test each point so you’re not stuck in that endless reconnect loop again.
Sure, I am happy to pay for 30 min of your time or something - I would need to pay on Venmo - I had trouble paying a developer who was international using Paypal. How do I book time to fix this issue? Let me know how to proceed and book a video call or something and what are your hourly rates?
