Updating a connections "scopes"

I’m getting started with Make, and i currently have a working connection for Slack using a Bot.
And i’m being strict with the scopes it’s assigned, not giving anything it doesn’t need.

If i need to include an additional scope, i know i need to add that scope to the Slack app (Bot) and re-install it to the workspace (Easy)

And i know i need to include the new scope in the Connection. But it seems like i can only delete the current connection, and re-create it with the additional scopes. Is this right?
As if i delete the connection, re-create…all good, but then i need to go an update all my modules that are using that connection.

Am i missing something obvious, as in:

  • Can i edit an existing connection, to include the new scope, and then re-authorize it (Without having to delete the connection.
  • Or if i name the new connection the same as the existing one, will the modules just use that same connection, saving me having to update them all with the new one?

Thanks

Hi,

In most cases, using the “Reauthorize”
SC_0

button under the connections
SC_1

tab will solve your problem.

There are no other options besides that.

If you are using multiple modules with the same app in one scenario, you can use Developer Tools to swap the connection across your scenario.

Have a nice day!

But reauthorizing won’t include the new scope i need into the connection will it?

When creating a connection (At least for Slack) it seems i need to include all the scopes i will be using with the connection

Sorry for the misunderstanding.

I thought only about the scopes given to the bot, which are already requested, because Make requests default scopes for its own modules.
If you need an additional one used by “Make an API Call,” you must create a new connection. This is even explained in the module configuration:

Your connection must contain the required scopes for your API call. If you receive an error, create a new connection with the necessary Additional scopes .
