Upcoming changes for Gmail, Google Drive, and QuickBooks connections for connected tables (also known as Quick Base Sync)

Due to an upcoming change to enhance security, deleting a connection for Gmail, Google Drive, or QuickBooks will invalidate other QuickBase Sync connections that were created with the same Gmail, Google Drive, or QuickBooks log in credentials. This happens because when a connection is deleted, we send a request to the connected service to revoke the OAuth token that was used by that connection. When Google or QuickBooks receives that request, they invalidate all the OAuth tokens for Quick Base Sync for that user. The connections in Quick Base will fail until the connection owner reauthorizes the connection to get a new, valid OAuth token.

In addition, we will soon be making an update to Gmail connections as required by Google. After this update, existing Gmail connections may fail and will need to be reauthorized by the connection owner. The date of the update and additional information will be sent to Gmail connection owners before the update occurs.

To reauthorize a connection you own:

1. Select the user dropdown on the Global bar, then choose My Preferences.
2. In the My Connections section, select the Gmail connection you want to reauthorize.
3. Select the Reauthorize button and sign in to your Gmail account.
