YouTube "Upload a Video" fails with 403

Hey there,

we are getting the following error:
[403] Forbidden

We changed nothing and the workflow stoped working. This is the second time this happened in the past weeks, last time it was the LinkedIn Video upload.

I tried reauthorising to Google, which worked, but didn’t fix the error. I created a new Connection to YouTube, which also worked, but didn’t fix the error.

Kind regards

I came on here to report the same thing. It’s happened to me a number of time of recent months and it’s so frustrating (and has just happened again). There is no reason seemingly, as it occurs randomly. As you say, reverifying, reauthorising and even deleting the connection and recreating it usually doesn’t fix it.

It would be enlightening if anybody has any suggestions as to where this issue is stemming from.

Same here! Could we please get an official statement!?

@vendy I’ve opened a ticket :+1:

I hope this can be got to the bottom of, because it’s really frustrating and has gone of for a while!

If anyone else finds any solutions or has any feedback from the make team, it would be great if you could update us here too :folded_hands:

Has anyone experiencing this issue found the reason for it happening or a fix?

I opened a ticket, but by the time I had a response, I managed to somehow fix it (maybe from uploading a video directly on YouTube?). However, it’s just happened again. This time verifying my connection again fixed it so the automation could complete. But this unreliability is obviously not optimal.
