Hi there!
I am very new to all of this AI thing but I had a genuine layman question.
I’ve seen many videos where people say 'here are 5 scenarios that you can charge 1.5 to your customers" and so on.. In the video you see that very often these are scenarios that contain gmail accounts, or google forms and so on.
In the video they use their own accounts but I was wondering: okay, what if a client asks to develop an automation system that is at some point using their google account to automatically send email, or feed a google sheet, I will certainly not ask for their passwords to create the connection from Make…
Which means you have tu use Google 0auth, right? Otherwise, what would the other solution be?
So I tried to run some tests. I find it easy on paper but I’m facing connections errors regularly. I have put all the URLs in place in GCP already, but still, I have issues. I was able to establish the connection between make, the fake client’s google account, and mine. I was able to add a first “Watch Google form” module. But when trying to collect, I got a 403 error…
And with the Google drive module, I cannot even connect..
Any help would be welcome!
Thanks!

the easiest is for the client to set up their own make environment and add you as a team member.
Connections can exist independently from scenario’s (although the first time you set them up in a scenario).
Once client has set up connections using their credentials, you can use these connections in scenario’s you build for them while the credentials and api-keys etc stay hidden from you.
Thank you very much for you reply. So if I understand well, clients will have to subscribe to make and monthly pay a fee, and connect to their apps themselves, add me as a user, so that I can develop the scenario for them?
I genuinely believe these are too much steps for a client. Don’t they simply want to pay and let me do all the work for them? What other way would be possible then?
What I described is one of the options. it really depends on your relationship with your client.
of course you can also do all the work for them and monthly charge them what it costs you to run and maintain the make environment.
In regards to using their accounts: I would still invite them to the environment so they can set up the required connections once (add the passwords), it means you can use these connections but the passwords will not be visible to you (technically you will have access through Make anyway so this wouldn’t work for sensitive data).
Alternatively set up new google accounts (mail, docs, sheets) that are purposed for your project only and give client access to those
