Troubleshoot Google login screen not showing in desktop client (Error 403)
Restricted Google documents require login in order to be viewed and embedded.
Support to external authentication in monday.com’s desktop client is currently limited and it may happen that, when trying to embed restricted documents, Google login screen doesn’t show up and instead a generic error is displayed.
403. That’s an error.
We’re sorry, but you do not have access to this page. That’s all we know.
To fix this, you can follow this procedure:
Temporarily disable the restriction OR copy the link of any unrestricted Google file.
It has to be compatible with the embedder you’re using.
Example: Google Sheets Embedder 👉 use a Google Sheets unrestricted linkEmbed the link or refresh the page if you’re not changing link
The Google login page will show up. Login into your Google account
You can now enable the restriction again or swap back to the file you originally intended to embed. The authentication will be valid for other Google Workspace embedders as well inside the monday.com desktop app.
