Make 'Invalid Refresh Token, Please Reauthorize the Connection' Error

Workaround available Web Updated October 21, 2026

Quick answer

This error (often shown as invalid_grant) means the OAuth token for Gmail, Google Drive or Microsoft 365 expired or was revoked. Reauthorize on the Connections page; if it recurs about every 7 days, your custom Google Cloud app is still in testing mode and must be published.

Most likely fix: Reauthorize and verify the connection.

Symptoms

Modules fail with 'Invalid refresh token. Please reauthorize the connection' or 'invalid_grant'; Gmail or Microsoft modules stop working; the error comes back weekly.

Why it happens

  • OAuth token expired or revoked (password change, admin policy)
  • Custom Google Cloud OAuth app left in 'Testing' publishing status
  • Missing redirect URIs in a custom OAuth client
  • Corrupted connection that won't reauthorize

How to fix it

Try these in order — the most common fix is first.

  1. 1. Reauthorize and verify the connection

    1. Open Connections in the left menu
    2. Find the failing connection and click Reauthorize
    3. Click Verify to confirm it works
    4. Rerun the scenario

  2. 2. Publish your Google Cloud app

    1. Open Google Cloud Console > APIs & Services > OAuth consent screen
    2. Change Publishing status from Testing to In production
    3. Reauthorize the connection in Make

  3. 3. Check redirect URIs for custom OAuth clients

    1. In Google Cloud > Credentials, open your OAuth client
    2. Add Make's redirect URIs exactly as listed in Make's docs (some apps need both with and without a trailing slash)
    3. Save and reauthorize

  4. 4. Create a fresh connection

    1. In the module, click Add next to Connection
    2. Sign in again to create a new connection
    3. If it still fails, test the new connection in a new blank scenario
    4. Open a support ticket if the error persists
