Gmail Reconnect problems "This account connection is expired. You'll need to reconnect the account before continuing."

I tried to use Zapier for a zap with Gmail.

It says “This account connection is expired. You'll need to reconnect the account before continuing.” I tried to fix it with ChatGPT and disconnected the account and tried to reconnect and still I get this notification. I have connected Zapier via Google. Can someone help to fix the issue?

@Yvi It sounds like you just need to reauthorize your Zapier connection to your Gmail account. This is a separate set of permissions from using “Sign in with Google” to log into Zapier. If you want Zapier to be able to use your Gmail account in automations, you have to explicitly grant it permissions to read, write, modify, etc., your emails.

Thanks for the feedback. Found a way to make it work.
