Google Drive Output no longer works!

This app is blocked

This app tried to access sensitive info in your Google Account. To keep your account safe, Google blocked this access.

The Google Drive Output was working a few weeks ago, but now I seem to be getting these errors. What has changed?

@akin_sony @alexnajm this is a known defect (GCSE-2449). The issue is on Alteryx's setup of their Google integration. If you connect using client id and secret (custom app) then you can bypass this and still use the tools

Something on the Google side has changed - I would review the security settings / talk with your IT department about why Google has blocked Alteryx

Good to know @OllieClarke !

akin_sony

Thank you for your feedback both

@OllieClarke how do I retrieve the correct google details using client id and secret (custom app) in order to bypass this and still use the tools

OllieClarke

@akin_sony you'll need to set up your own google api integration. The steps are outlined here: https://help.alteryx.com/current/en/designer/data-sources/set-up-custom-api-application/set-up-google-api-application.html#google-drive-6696569

@akin_sony - note - this will require having a GCP project you can use to create the clientid/secret.

Yeah thanks all

@OllieClarke I found that link and began to fill out the process; but requires me to be an admin to complete it.

@apathetichell if having a GCP is having a Google Workspace account? It is one which we unfortunately will have to pay for.

This has messed up a lot of workflows, and would really love Alteryx to fix their Google API integration.

Hi @akin_sony I don’t think you need to pay in order to use the cloud console (although I’m not 100%)

@akin_sony Went through this a few months back. Sorry you are experiencing it now.

Unfortunately its not so much a connector issue in so far as a security change by google. Google just made a change that impacted how any outside service is allowed to authenticate into google which I think broke a lot of stuff everywhere.

Hope you get back up and running soon!

Defect detail here, seems it won't be resolved in 2024.2. Hopefully next release

Good news is this appears to be fixed
