I’m building an automation in [Make.com](http://Make.com) using Google Sheets and Gmail. The workflow was working earlier, but now when I try reconnecting Gmail or adding a Gmail module, I get this error: “Access denied. CSRF token validation failed while requesting /connections…” I’ve already: - refreshed the page - tried reconnecting Gmail - used Google Chrome - allowed popups - logged into the correct Google account Google Sheets modules still work, but Gmail connection is failing. How do I fix the CSRF token validation error for Gmail connections in [Make.com](http://Make.com)? ---

Welcome to the Make community! How are you performing the Gmail connection? This might help: # How to Connect and Use Google APIs in Make! # 0. Prerequisites - ## 0.1. You need to have a Google account Make sure you can sign in to [Google Cloud Console](https://accounts.google.com/v3/signin/identifier?continue=https%3A%2F%2Fconsole.cloud.google.com&flowName=GlifWebSignIn) with this. - ## 0.2.

Enable Google APIs - ## 1.1. 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). ![](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/make/original/3X/d/4/d4727c4eee0426b3415b3cc285eb46d47d9dc6ad.png) * * * # 2.
