Connecting your business tools to your Google account can be helpful — but sometimes, if certain permissions aren’t granted, features might stop working properly. This guide explains how to spot and fix missing Google permissions yourself, so your tools keep working as they should.
📌 Why This Matters
When apps connect to your Google account, they ask for certain permissions (sometimes called scopes) to access information they need. If you don’t allow all the required permissions, some features might break, like linking your Google Business Profile. This can cause confusion when everything seems connected, but things don’t work right.
Having a clear way to see which permissions are missing and a simple way to fix it saves you time and frustration.
✨ What’s New
- Choose Which Permissions to Grant: When connecting to Google, you’ll see a list of permissions with checkboxes so you can select what you want to share. (It’s best to allow all for smooth operation.)
- Warning When Permissions Are Missing: If important permissions aren’t granted, a clear warning appears on your Google connection settings.
- Details on Missing Permissions: A screen shows exactly which permissions are missing and which features might be affected.
- Easy Reconnect Button: One click lets you reconnect and grant the missing permissions right away.
🛠️ How to Use It
- Go to Your Settings: Head to the integrations or connected apps section where your Google account is linked.
- Look for Warnings: If you see a warning badge on your Google connection, click it to learn more.
- Review Missing Permissions: Check which permissions are missing and which features could be affected, then click the option to reconnect.
- Grant Permissions in Google’s Consent Screen: When prompted, allow the additional permissions needed.
- Confirm Connection: Return to your integrations page—the warning should disappear if everything is good!
💡 Pro Tip
Keeping all necessary permissions granted helps ensure your Google-connected business tools work seamlessly, saving you time and avoiding disruptions that can impact your customer interactions.
