Google Sheets Input Tool show none of my account Sheets

[lyao]

I have a use case where I need to conditionally send emails for everyone that submit a google form, Google Form stores the form´s records in a google sheet.

I'm trying to access the spreadsheet by using Google Sheets Input Tool, but no manner if I use the normal direct connection or OAuth2 Overrides, the tool does not show me anything.

I even created a Google Sheets to test if it would be shown in the input tool, but it does not.

Any help would be appreciated.

I´m using Designer 2020.3.9 and the Google Sheets Tool is v2.2

From the screenshot, it looks like you are successfully making the connection but google is possibly not set to allow read access to the files associated with the ID (or authorization token).  Can you verify via google admin console that you have the necessary access permission?

Did you get a token/secret from google?

Thank for answering, yeah I made sure the necessary permissions were on place following the same exact tutorial, and i still got nothing.

Something very weird is that i tried the exact same tokens and exact same tool in another co-workers Alteryx (same version), and it worked there, but not in mine.

@dfurlow I would contend that resource is not as helpful as this youtube video. 

It is a bit older but it reviews all the steps include the pain the butt refresh token and some of the more mystery driven google aspects from start of the headache to end of the headache.

I have some screenshots that I will dig up to help you out.

@AmirSems_charter i don't disagree with you, and you will see i have elsewhere (at the bottom of that thread) noted the poor quality of documentation for this essential connection in such an expensive and otherwise very strong toolset like Alteryx.  I did note that the headline commentary in the thread had been revised in the past several weeks and thought perhaps things have improved. I guess not.  Thanks for the video link which i will no doubt use to figure out how i can WRITE TO in addition to READING FROM googlesheets.

You may need to reconnect once you have the token setup as many connection details seem to be cached and may need to refresh?

[AmirSems_charter]

agreed. 

Once you have your connection it is good to go. I had an interview with a director of enterprise analytics and they had issues with the google sheet refresh tokens so the struggle is real.  I think I might make a video and clearly explain this because the refresh token portion is a very big pain.

That is the weird part, I have the connection, or at least that is what appear to be. But it give me noting back, I also checked in the Googles API Calls, but no endpoints was called.

I tried using the same credentials in another co-worker´s computer with the same version of Alteryx and same version of the tool, and it worked.

That sounds like some kind of security settings maybe or something is not correctly configured.
