Google Drive Folder Reader Re-authentication Issues

[mutty]

Hi Guys,

I have to re-authenticate google drive in order for my triggers to work automatically.

I’m guessing the token is expiring but not being refreshed?

This is getting in the way at the moment because these flows are expected to be automatic and we’re having to manually trigger them.

Thanks for your help!

Hey @mutty! If you’re reporting an issue with a flow or an error in a run, please include the run link and make sure it’s shareable so we can take a look.

1. Find your run link on the history page. Format: https://www.gumloop.com/pipeline?run_id={{your_run_id}}&workbook_id={{workbook_id}}

2. Make it shareable by clicking “Share” → ‘Anyone with the link can view’ in the top-left corner of the flow screen.
   

3. Provide details about the issue—more context helps us troubleshoot faster.

You can find your run history here: https://www.gumloop.com/history

Hey @mutty — mind sharing your workbook? Also, how often is this happening and since when? We recently rolled out a bunch of improvements to trigger reliability, so if you could revoke and re-auth with Drive once on the credentials page, then re-enable the trigger, that’d be great.

If you still need to re-auth after that, definitely let me know. And I’m guessing there aren’t any run links for this — do you manually check if the run didn’t trigger and then find the auth issue? Would appreciate a bit more context here.

Understood Wasay.

This is in my client’s workbook and they have 3 workflows that should be triggered on a daily/weekly basis. I’ll follow the instructions you’ve given and see if it still occurs.

We manually check after a couple minutes when the expected output hasn’t it the destination we’ve set. At that point, we try to run it manually which usually results in Google Drive Folder Reader Failed!.

Here’s a failed run for you:

Gotcha. We did ship an improvement here, should be live in our next update (end of this week hopefully). Also, Loop Mode does not seem necessary here since the trigger only picks the single uploaded file, wouldn’t make a difference to the flow but just highlighting if you want to make the flow efficient.

Nice one, I look forward to that then.

And thanks for the tip! Probably left in from my trail and error
