Fix a Google Connection That Says Connected But Is Not Working

When you connect your Google account, Google lets you tick only some of the permissions it asks for. If a required one is left unticked, the connection looks fine but features such as Google Business Profile quietly stop working. Ignite Funnels now warns you when permissions are missing and gives you a one-click way to grant them.

Why does my Google account say it is connected when nothing works?

Google's consent screen lets you approve some permissions and skip others. Ignite Funnels still records the account as connected, but any feature that depends on a skipped permission will fail. The integration page now shows a warning badge on the Google card whenever a required permission is missing, so the real problem is visible straight away.

How do I see which permissions are missing?

Click the warning message on the Google card and a details screen opens. It lists exactly which permissions were not granted and which features each one affects. You know what will start working again before you change anything.

How do I fix it?

1. Go to Settings, then Integrations, then Google.
2. Click the warning message on your primary Google account.
3. Review the missing permissions and the features they affect, then click Reconnect.
4. On Google's consent screen, allow the additional permissions and finish.
5. Return to the integration page and confirm the warning has cleared.

Which permissions should I tick when connecting?

Tick all of them. The consent screen shows each permission as its own checkbox, and leaving any unticked is what causes features to break later. Granting everything at the start avoids the reconnect step entirely.

You will find this in Settings, then Integrations, then Google.
