How can I reconnect a support address through the Gmail connector in Zendesk?

Question

I get the error We can't connect your Gmail account because your OAuth credentials are invalid. Please reconnect in my Support addresses. I do not see the Reconnect button. How can I reconnect a support address to Zendesk through the Gmail connector?

Answer

This error message indicates that the Gmail connector stopped sending emails to your instance. To send emails again, reauthorize the API connection.

This requires disconnecting and reconnecting the external support address to Zendesk.

If any errors persist, ensure that:

1. The email address is not related to any Group in gSuite
2. The email address is not an alias for another email address
3. You can entirely remove and add the email address on the page again

For instructions to reconnect your support address through the Gmail connector, see the section: Managing Gmail connections.
