Troubleshooting Tips
If you encounter any issues during the Google Workspace integration, try the following troubleshooting steps:
- Permission Errors: If you’re experiencing authorization issues, double-check that the Google admin account you are using has the necessary permissions to integrate third-party apps. You may need to reauthorize the connection.
- Sync Delays: If data from Google Workspace is not syncing correctly, allow some time for the initial sync. You may also try re-syncing by navigating to the integration settings and clicking Resync Data.
- License Issues: If license data is incomplete, verify that all Google Workspace user accounts are visible to Montro. Ensure you have enabled sufficient permissions to access all user and license information.
- User Activity Missing: If certain Google Workspace services (e.g., Drive, Gmail) aren’t showing up in the data, ensure that those services have been enabled in your integration settings and that the API access is allowed in your Google Admin Console.
