A 403 error indicates an authorization issue preventing your Glide app from accessing your Google Sheets. This typically happens due to problems with permissions, account inconsistencies, or expired authentication tokens.
Follow these steps to troubleshoot and resolve the issue:
1. Log Out and Log Back In
Log out of both Glide and Google Drive.
Clear your browser’s cache and cookies to remove any outdated credentials.
Log back into both accounts to refresh the authorization.
2. Use Google Sign-In
When signing into Glide, choose the "Sign in with Google" option.
This ensures that the correct permissions are granted between Glide and Google Sheets.
3. Check Account Consistency
Verify that the Google account used for Glide is the same account that owns the Google Sheet.
4. Reauthorize Glide in Google Account Settings
Go to your Google Account Security Settings.
Remove Glide’s access under “Third-Party Apps with Account Access.”
Reconnect Glide to Google Sheets by signing back into Glide and selecting your sheet.
5. Confirm Permissions
Ensure that your Google Sheet is shared correctly if multiple accounts are involved. The Glide-linked account must have editor access to the sheet.
Still Experiencing Issues?
If the problem persists after following these steps, it could be due to a temporary issue with Google’s API or other app settings. Contact Glide support at support@glideapps.com for further assistance.
By carefully checking permissions and reauthorizing access, you can resolve the 403 error and seamlessly reconnect Glide to your Google Sheets.
