Error: Failed to load data! ![Screenshot_2025-03-01-11-31-48-60_40deb401b9ffe8e1df2f1cc5ba480b12](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/make/original/3X/6/a/6a1d4b43e8106e161b70af8150c5be3c3c19c05c.jpeg) Getting this error on Make trying to connect to Google Drive. Yes I expanded the Advanced Settings for the connection, and INSERTED my Client ID and Client Secret BEFORE clicking Sign in. The next common cause is the correct permission scopes for Google drive access weren’t added to the GCP app, I’ve triple checked and I have EVERY SINGLE DRIVE RELATED SCOPE ENABLED. Followed all steps outlined here: [https://www.make.com/en/help/app/google-drive?\_gl=1\*xfasza\*\_gcl\_au\*MTY2NzgwNzY0OC4xNzQwODQxNDM4\*\_ga\*MTUzMjU2MzUyNC4xNzQwODQxNDM2\*\_ga\_MY0CJTCDSF\*MTc0MDg1MDUzNC4yLjEuMTc0MDg1MDU3My4yMS4wLjA](https://www.make.com/en/help/app/google-drive?_gl=1*xfasza*_gcl_au*MTY2NzgwNzY0OC4xNzQwODQxNDM4*_ga*MTUzMjU2MzUyNC4xNzQwODQxNDM2*_ga_MY0CJTCDSF*MTc0MDg1MDUzNC4yLjEuMTc0MDg1MDU3My4yMS4wLjA). This isn’t an issue of not following instructions, skipping a step, or omitting something. I followed all instructions to the letter and it still doesn’t freaking work. I’m at my wits end. ---

Welcome to the Make community! Have you tried these instructions yet? If yes, can you provide screenshots of all the steps mentioned in the instructions? Follow this [main guide on how to set up a custom OAuth 2.0 custom app in Make](https://www.make.com/en/help/apps/it-and-development/g-suite-admin#connecting-to-google-services-using-oauth2). Provided below are additional supplementary instructions in case the above isn’t clear enough. * * * # Enable APIs ## 1. Enable the relevant APIs that you want to use **Search for the relevant Google API here:** [https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/library](https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/library) - Go to each API page that you want to use, end click “Enable” - Usually you’ll want to enable at least [Drive](https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/api/drive.googleapis.com) (includes Docs/Sheets) and [Gmail](https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/api/gmail.googleapis.com). * * * # OAuth Client **Direct Link:** [https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials](https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials) ## 2a. Create “OAuth client ID” Credentials ![](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/make/original/3X/0/c/0c29e0e6bb6d6b4b62461a894fb490c1e06dd048.png) ## 2b. Insert all the Google Redirect URIs for your app ![](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/make/original/3X/2/8/2807e342c37d019fedbe8847450f96a19c696ffe.png) ### Google Redirect URIs Here are some commonly-needed redirect URIs you need for your [Google Cloud Console](https://console.cloud.google.com/) OAuth app. If you set these up, you can reuse the same GCP app for other Google apps and modules on Make. ```plaintext https://www.make.com/oauth/cb/google https://www.make.com/oauth/cb/google/ 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/youtube https://www.make.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-custom https://www.integromat.com/oauth/cb/google-restricted https://www.integromat.com/oauth/cb/google-cloud-speech https://www.integromat.com/oauth/cb/youtube https://www.integromat.com/oauth/cb/oauth2 ``` **Note:** Once you’ve set these up, you can use/reuse the same Make connection for all the supported Google apps & modules on Make - you’ll only have to enable the APIs for your custom app. * * * # OAuth consent screen **Direct Link:** [https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials/consent/edit](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”. ## 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 ## 3c. Step through and go to dashboard At the last step/page, click “ **BACK TO DASHBOARD** ” instead of “Prepare for Verification” ![](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/make/original/3X/0/c/0c8fe7b5be5b0fec74f940524cefe93259806a7c.png) ## 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](https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials/consent)” - Then click the “ **PUBLISH APP** ” button - Then click the “ **CONFIRM** ” button * * * # 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: ![](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/make/original/3X/a/e/aeb4ff9ca8e4f5ddf3badd144b4f5a4fb19f27ef.png) ## 4a. Specific Google module (Sheets, Docs, Drive, Gmail, etc.) Insert the GCP app client ID and secret here **BEFORE** clicking “Sign in” _(Gmail example)_ ![](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/make/original/3X/c/a/caa6efb63fb50b12399549ee627da8bb29189a13.png) **OR,** ## 4b. HTTP OAuth 2.0 Request module ![](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/make/original/3X/8/9/89a1c01d161c36bc11d1e7460256be7e02258d18.png) You need a “Authorize Parameters” key of `redirect_uri` with the above Make OAuth2 callback URL. ![](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/make/original/3X/4/3/43df2cd92abedfda53a23fc12991dbfb13eff1be.png) Hope this helps!
