Connect Make with Google Business Profile.

Trying to connect to “Google Business Profile”

“message”: “The request failed due to failure of a previous request.”,

}

This error is now consistent with all of my other scenario!

I turn off my virus scanner and VPN, but the error still persists.

Using Chrome’s Incognito does not help either.

It appear that previously I connected to google okay.

Same issue, but in connection with the Google Cloud module.

Same here setting up the connection with Google Drive module:

Update:

I believe I have found an issue with the Google Drive connector when creating a new OAuth connection.

Environment

  • Make region: US2
  • Google Drive module: Create a Folder
  • OAuth Client: Custom OAuth (Web Application)
  • Google Cloud project is in Testing mode.
  • My Google account is added as a Test User.

OAuth configuration

The OAuth flow completes successfully.

Google redirects back to Make using:

https://us2.make.com/oauth/cb/google-drive

The callback URL contains a valid authorization code, for example:

code=4/0AXEQ...

This indicates that:

  • Authentication succeeds.
  • Consent is granted.
  • Google generates a valid Authorization Code.
  • Redirect URI is correctly configured.

Therefore, the OAuth authorization phase completes successfully.

Problem

Immediately after the redirect back to Make, the connection creation fails with:

{
  "message": "The request failed due to failure of a previous request.",
  "code": "SC424",
  "suberrors": [
    {
      "message": "Cannot assign to read only property 'scope' of object '#<Connection>'",
      "name": "TypeError"
    }
  ]
}

The browser developer tools show the following internal debug information:

{
  "message": "The request failed due to failure of a previous request.",
  "code": "SC424",
  "suberrors": [
    {
      "message": "[401] Request is missing required authentication credential. Expected OAuth 2 access token, login cookie or other valid authentication credential.",
      "name": "RuntimeError"
    }
  ],
  "debug": [
    [
      "google-drive:",
      "request",
      "GET",
      "https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v2/userinfo",
      {
        "headers": {
          "authorization": "***"
        }
      }
    ],
    [
      "google-drive:",
      "response",
      401,
      {
        "body": {
          "error": {
            "code": 401,
            "status": "UNAUTHENTICATED"
          }
        }
      }
    ]
  ]
}

Why I believe this is a Make issue

I have verified the following:

  • OAuth Client is configured as Web Application.
  • Redirect URIs are correctly registered, including:
    • https://www.make.com/oauth/cb/google-drive
  • Test User is configured.
  • OAuth Consent Screen is configured correctly.
  • The issue occurs in a completely new scenario.
  • The issue occurs with different Google Drive modules.
  • Google successfully returns an Authorization Code before the failure.

Since Google already issued the authorization code and redirected back to Make successfully, the failure appears to occur during Make’s token exchange or while storing/retrieving the access token before calling the Google UserInfo endpoint.

It seems that the Google Drive connector is attempting to call:

GET https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v2/userinfo

without a valid OAuth access token, which results in:

401 UNAUTHENTICATED

The subsequent SC424 and Cannot assign to read only property 'scope' errors appear to be secondary errors triggered by the failed authentication.

Could you please investigate whether this is a regression or an issue affecting the Google Drive connector on the US2 cluster?

If needed, I can provide my Scenario ID, Organization ID, Google Cloud configuration, and HAR files for further investigation.

Thank you very much for your assistance.

Contact Make Support

As this is a community (peer-led) forum, we can only help with using the Make platform as intended (scenario building, troubleshooting scenario/module error messages, etc.). We cannot assist with account, billing, platform availability, technical issues, or bugs with the underlying software.

Make support has access to your specific account details, scenario, execution history, server-side logs, and has internal tools to investigate the issue further. If the issue is with a custom app, Make support will be able to reach out to the external team responsible for maintaining it. Also, you might need to share potentially sensitive information about your account, organisation, scenario, and execution history logs, which is not advisable here on this public forum.

Search for Updates First

Before creating a support ticket, do try to look around if others are facing the same problem, and if there are further steps you can take. Here are some things you can do —

  1. Check the Make Status page to see if it is an ongoing network-wide issue/outage and view any updates (example).

  2. Search this Make forum to see if there are any discussions, updates, and workarounds. Here are some possible search terms you can use:
    tags:error  bug  "not working"

How to Create a Support Ticket

  • If you are unable to log-in, you should use this form to report and resolve your account’s login issue first.

  • When you are logged in to your account, head to the new ticket page to submit a ticket.

After submitting your support ticket, you should receive a confirmation email with the subject “Ticket Created” together with a summary of what you submitted. If you do not receive this automated reply within minutes, try creating a ticket again. Example of email subject: [#1234567] Ticket created | Technical challenge

Priority of Tickets

If you do not receive a response from Make support, simply be patient. Make support receives thousands of tickets, hence tickets have to be prioritised based on the severity of the incidents and organisation’s plan. For more information about the different levels of customer support for each plan, refer to the “Support” section on the Pricing page, or on your organisation’s Subscription page. If you are a free customer, you can create a temporary free Pro account to get quicker support via the ticketing system.

Resolution

When your ticket has an update and/or issue is resolved, we’d love to hear details about it, and how support and you worked to resolve it (including use of any workarounds). By posting your findings and solutions in this thread, we are contributing to this knowledgebase to enable others with similar problems to search for answers.

I got the same issue with the google drive as well/

Same problem here for gmail

Experiencing the same issue as **Daniel_Rivas.
**
My Google Drive module, in connection with its respective Google Cloud App Project, is no longer authenticating.

yes I am having the same issue, this is what I see when trying to reauthorize usually it just works but now I get this: {“message”:“The request failed due to failure of a previous request.”,“code”:“SC424”,“suberrors”:[{“message”:“Cannot assign to read only property ‘scope’ of object ‘#’”,“name”:“TypeError”}]}

then when I refresh once I get this: {“detail”:“Token not found.”,“message”:“Token already exist.”,“code”:“IM006”}

I have tried to create a new connection with a new client ID and secret, still the same message. I believe the issue is on Make’s side?

Hey @here ,

Thank you for raising this issue with us in the community, and we apologize for the frustration. Our developers are aware of the issue with creating new connections and reauthorizing, which results in TypeError (SC424 error), and they are investigating this further. I’ll update you once we know the root cause of the issue.

In the meantime, you can follow our status page or get in touch with the Customer Care team to receive updates straight to your inbox.

Thank you for your patience :folded_hands:

Same thing here for Gmail

I’m experiencing the exact same issue when trying to connect my Etsy shop.

I deleted my old Etsy connections to create a new one, but now I can’t connect at all. Every time I try to create a new Etsy connection, I get the same error.

My Etsy integration was working before, but after removing the old connections, it completely stopped working.

:bullseye: What is your goal?

Connect Make with Google Drive using a custom OAuth client.

:thinking: What is the problem & what have you tried?

Every attempt to create a new Google Drive connection fails with the following error before the Google consent screen even loads:

{
“message”: “The request failed due to failure of a previous request.”,
“code”: “SC424”,
“suberrors”: [
{
“message”: “Cannot assign to read only property ‘scope’ of object ‘#’”,
“name”: “TypeError”
}
]
}

What I’ve tried:

Created a new OAuth client in Google Cloud Console with correct redirect URI
Google Drive API is enabled
Added myself as a test user under the OAuth consent screen
Created a completely new OAuth client from scratch — same error

}
]
}

I am trying to create a new Pinterest connection in Make so I can use Pinterest modules in my scenarios.

:thinking: What is the problem & what have you tried?

When I try to connect a Pinterest account, the Pinterest authorization appears to complete, but after redirecting back to Make, the connection fails.

I tested this with several different Pinterest accounts and received the same error every time. My colleagues also tested it with their accounts and encountered the same issue.

We tried:

  • Using different Pinterest accounts
  • Creating a new connection
  • Repeating the authorization process
  • Testing from different user accounts

The issue appears to affect the Pinterest OAuth connection itself rather than a specific Pinterest account.

Could you please confirm whether this is a known issue with the Pinterest connection and advise how it can be resolved?

Hey @here
Our Engineers were able to identify the root cause of the issue and implemented a fix, so you should be able to create new connections without any issues. Let me know if you’re still experiencing the issues!
Thanks!
