What are you trying to achieve?
I am trying to connect Google Drive and Gmail with Make.com, but I keep encountering authentication errors related to OAuth and restricted scopes. My goal is to successfully establish a connection so I can automate file and email-related tasks in Make.com.
Steps taken so far
Configured Google Cloud API:
Created a project in Google Cloud Console.
Enabled Google Drive API and Gmail API.
Generated an OAuth Client ID and Client Secret.
Set up the authorized redirect URIs:
https://www.make.com/oauth/cb/google (for global version)
https://eu1.make.com/oauth/cb/google (for EU servers).
Checked the OAuth Scopes in the Connection:
I tried using only basic permissions to avoid restricted scopes, but Make.com still does not allow the connection.
Verified My Google Cloud Permissions:
I have the Project Owner role in IAM.
I enabled the Service Usage API to manage permissions.
Tested in incognito mode and cleared the browser cache.
Errors I’m Still Getting
Error 400: redirect_uri_mismatch
I made sure that the redirect URIs in Google Cloud match the ones in Make.com, but the error persists.
It is not possible to use restricted scopes with customer @gmail.com accounts.
This error seems to indicate that Google does not allow restricted scopes for personal (@gmail.com) accounts.
I do not have a Google Workspace account to test if it works with a custom domain.
Questions for the Community:
Has anyone successfully connected Google Drive with a personal Gmail account?
Is a Google Workspace account required to avoid the restricted scopes error?
If I use a Google Workspace account, will the issue disappear?
Any help or insights would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
