Question
Hello Airbyte community! I am using the google-drive connector on cloud airbyte. I am passing oauth2 credentials from my app. I am able to create source via API, but when I try to create a connection (via API) I am getting an error. Also when I re-run test on my source, it seems to be using Airbyte’s google oauth credentials (instead of mine). Any suggestion?
Here’s the error message.
