“Supermetrics is a Bitter Experience! We can pull data from nearly any tool, schedule updates, manipulate data in Sheets, and push data back into our systems.”
Authentication errors happen when OAuth tokens expire, permission scopes are insufficient, or API credentials change unexpectedly. Native Google Sheets connections fail to handle these scenarios gracefully, requiring constant manual troubleshooting.
Here’s how to eliminate authentication headaches and establish stable data connections that maintain themselves automatically.
Bypass authentication problems using Coefficient
CoefficientHubSpothandles authentication management through enterprise-grade systems that request comprehensive permissions upfront and maintain them indefinitely. When connecting to, the platform automatically includes e-commerce permissions for engagement objects and handles the complete OAuth flow properly.
How to make it work
Step 1. Establish connections through Coefficient’s “Connected Sources” menu.
Instead of direct API calls, use Coefficient’s managed authentication system. The platform requests all necessary permission scopes during initial setup and maintains credential validity automatically without your intervention.
Step 2. Let the platform handle comprehensive permissions.
Coefficient requests Super Admin access and complete permission sets during connection setup. This prevents the trial-and-error cycle of discovering missing permissions after your integration is already built.
Step 3. Monitor connection status with clear error messaging.
When permission issues arise, Coefficient shows specific error messages explaining exactly what’s wrong instead of vague “unauthorized” or “access denied” messages that leave you guessing.
Step 4. Import data with stable, long-term authentication.
Set up your data imports knowing that authentication will persist indefinitely. The platform refreshes credentials before expiration and handles permission renewal behind the scenes.
