Hi @B_Alexander_Ingram

You should be able to add yourself as a test user for n8n to connect. Here’s an image.

if this post helps solve your issue, please mark it as the solution so others can benefit from it

Also, you can put your workflow in a code block so it will render here. here’s a gif on how to do that.

Hello rbreen and thanks for the response. I’ve added my email as a test user, and was able to connect my google account. But, still get error 403 Forbidden when I try to login. Is there a security setting I need to tuen on now?

@B_Alexander_Ingram
Is your google app in test mode or published?

Make sure it is in test mode.

Also can you copy the error details?

[B_Alexander_Ingram]

Yes, I have it in testing. Here is the screen shot.

@B_Alexander_Ingram
Can you copy the error details?

There’s a lot of other places that can be causing the error.

How about the redirect url. Did you add that?

[B_Alexander_Ingram]

Here’s the error in n8n. I remember reading somehting about setting the scopes

?

[rbreen]

@B_Alexander_Ingram

In google console search for google drive api and enable it. Let me know if that works

[rbreen]

@B_Alexander_Ingram

Thank you so much! I think I am almost there. I am missing the (…/auth/youtube.download) I can’t find it in the list.

@B_Alexander_Ingram

You don’t need that. That was for another project of mine. Try testing it now.
