Troubleshooting

  • Permission denied: Ensure the Service Account role has the needed project access; retry with a higher role temporarily to confirm.
  • Wrong project: Verify you copied the Project ID from the correct project.
  • Secret lost: Create a new Service Account; you can’t re-show an old secret.
  • Secret expired/disabled: Create a new Service Account and update Vexly with a new Mixpanel connection, deleting the old connection.
