Youtube Connection keeps dropping

Getting Started
1

As a fairly new user I wanted to get some feedback on the YouTube OAuth connection.

To download the URL and details of an unlisted video from YouTube to Airtable I have successfully made the scenario and it works BUT it needs to have the ‘connection’ re-connected every single time.

My API/OAuth credentials are in Testing mode which is possibly why. However, when I try to get it verified I’m going through the process and got an e-mail from Google saying that if it’s just one person or personal use to just leave it in test mode.

. If your application is for Personal use only:

The app is not shared with anyone else or will be used by fewer than 100 users. Hence, you can continue using the app by bypassing the unverified app warning during sign-in. It is recommended, however, that your project’s publish state is set to testing and continue to use your app under testing mode.

What am I missing? Is there a way to leave it as testing but not have it only work for one use at a time making it very unautomated?

Thank you so much for your insight and expertise.

Welcome to the Make community!

See point 3(D) below:

Follow this main guide on how to set up a custom OAuth 2.0 custom app in Make.

Provided below are additional supplementary instructions in case the above isn’t clear enough.

Enable APIs

1. Enable the relevant APIs that you want to use

Search for the relevant Google API here: 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 (includes Docs/Sheets) and Gmail.

OAuth Client

Direct Link: https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials

2a. Create “OAuth client ID” Credentials

2b. Insert all the Google Redirect URIs for your app

Google Redirect URIs

Here are some commonly-needed redirect URIs you need for your Google Cloud Console OAuth app. If you set these up, you can reuse the same GCP app for other Google apps and modules on Make.

https://www.make.com/oauth/cb/oauth2
https://www.make.com/oauth/cb/google
https://www.make.com/oauth/cb/google-custom
https://www.make.com/oauth/cb/google-restricted
https://www.make.com/oauth/cb/google-cloud-speech
https://www.integromat.com/oauth/cb/oauth2
https://www.integromat.com/oauth/cb/google
https://www.integromat.com/oauth/cb/google-custom
https://www.integromat.com/oauth/cb/google-restricted
https://www.integromat.com/oauth/cb/google-cloud-speech

Note: Once you’ve set these up, you can use/reuse the same Make connection for all the supported Google apps & modules on Make - you’ll only have to enable the APIs for your custom app.

OAuth consent screen

Direct Link: https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials/consent/edit

3a. Insert Two Authorised Domains

  • Insert make.com and integromat.com

  • Fill in other required fields

  • Click “Save and Continue”.

3b. Add All Scopes

  • Click “Add or Remove Scopes”

  • Select 100 “Rows per page”, for each page, check all the rows, OR

  • Manually type in the scopes you need

  • Click “Update” at the bottom

3c. Step through and go to dashboard

At the last step/page, click “BACK TO DASHBOARD” instead of “Prepare for Verification”

3d. Publish your GCP OAuth2 app

You will need to set your OAuth application to “Production”, otherwise the credentials expire very frequently.

Create New Connection (HTTP, or respective Google module)

You can find the Client ID and Client Secret in the OAuth2 app you created in GCP, on the right-hand side of where you inserted the callback URLs in step 2:

4a. Specific Google module (Sheets, Docs, Drive, Gmail, etc.)

Insert the GCP app client ID and secret here BEFORE clicking “Sign in”

(Gmail example)

525×643 65.1 KB

OR,

4b. HTTP OAuth 2.0 Request module

708×401 44.2 KB

You need a “Authorize Parameters” key of redirect_uri with the above Make OAuth2 callback URL.

Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues.

Sorry I either didn’t phrase my question correctly or I misunderstand the answer.

I did all this - but when you go to Publish App I have to verify.

“Because you’re using one or more sensitive scopes, your app registration requires verification by Google. Please prepare your app to submit for verification”

But when I try to verify it says if it’s personal/private you can keep it in testing.

If I keep it in testing I have to reconnect every time I want the scenario to run.

I hope that’s clearer.

thank you

That’s NOT an error message, you can ignore this.

Thanks so much - I did that but unfortunately make.com still seems to need it to be reverified every single time I try to use it my scenario so automation are just failing.
