Make errors / Auth

Cannot initialize the scenario because of the reason 'Failed to verify connection'

platform: Make / category: Auth

Cause

A module's connection is missing, expired, or lacks scopes, so Make fails the init phase before execution - meaning in-scenario error handlers cannot catch it.

Fix

Check every module has a connection selected. Reauthorize any invalid connections in the Connections panel, or delete and recreate with the required scopes. Confirm the third-party API key/OAuth app has not been revoked or had scopes reduced.
