Updating connection (drive and gmail mostly)

How To
1

Hello

My scenario keeps on having “connections error” → see attachements

It looks like I have to go very often verify and reauthorize my connection, especially for gmail and drive.

Is there a way to avoid that ? Can we extend the time validity of the connection ?

Thanks

Hi @caporali

Unfortunately, there is no other way to extend validity time (7 days). This authorization is a part of Gmail security and privacy.

Hi @caporali,

I’ve never had to reauthorise my Gmail & Drive connection. Could you explain what steps you took when you created the connection?

That will mess up my scenario and also it will be to much of an hassle

What other solution do we have with gmail ?
or Maybe use an other email platform ?

If you do a connection account with gmail domain and you connect your account by Oauth you have to do in 7 days.
If your accounts are other than @gmail there is no need to do that…

Ok thanks, can I use a gmail connection without Oauth ? Or I should use an other module to send mail ? Thanks

No you cannot. You can use other to send mail.

If you don’t want to keep reconnecting, you need to create a custom OAuth application (which is what I did). Just follow the instructions in green, which goes to this link: Connecting to Google services using custom OAuth client

Hello @samliew

Thanks for your quick answer. I already did the OAuth authorization but It keeps on asking me every week to reconnect and it messes up my scenarios …

You did the Oauth ? And you do not have to reauthorize every week the connection ?

Thanks
