Email connections can drop when OAuth tokens expire or permissions change. Here’s how to reconnect Gmail or Outlook to Klipy in under a minute.
Email connections occasionally drop — typically when an OAuth token expires, your password changes, or your IT department revokes app permissions. When this happens, Klipy stops receiving new emails and will notify you that your connection needs attention.
Google and Microsoft issue access tokens that expire periodically. When they do, the connection needs to be re-authorized. This is normal and expected — it’s a security feature of OAuth.
Password or security settings changed
Changing your email password, enabling two-factor authentication, or updating security settings often invalidates existing OAuth tokens.
IT admin revoked app permissions
If your organization uses Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 with admin-managed permissions, your IT administrator may have removed Klipy’s authorization. Contact your IT team to re-approve the OAuth app before reconnecting.
Too many connected apps
Some organizations limit the number of third-party apps that can have OAuth access. If reconnecting fails repeatedly, check with your IT administrator.
