OAuth token expired
Click 'Reconnect' on the affected source. Auto-refresh failed and the platform requires a fresh authorisation.
What's happening
OAuth access tokens are short-lived by design — Google access tokens expire after 1 hour, Meta long-lived tokens after about 60 days. AgencyLens normally refreshes them automatically in the background using a refresh token, but sometimes the refresh fails. Common reasons: the user revoked AgencyLens at Google Account Permissions / Meta Business Integrations, the source platform changed scopes and forced a re-consent, or the refresh token itself expired (Google sometimes invalidates refresh tokens if the account hasn't been active).
You'll see this as a panel saying "Token expired and no refresh token available. Reconnect" or a failed fetch when you try to generate a report.
How to fix it
- Open the affected source's panel in AgencyLens (GA4, Search Console, Google Ads, or Meta Ads).
- Click Disconnect. This wipes the stored token from your browser.
- Click Connect again. You'll go through the OAuth consent flow once more.
- Pick the same account you used originally. Click Allow on the consent screen.
- Try generating the report again. The fresh token will work.
If the same source expires repeatedly within a short period, the root cause is usually external — somebody on the team revoked AgencyLens at Google Account → Security → Third-party apps. Check there and remove the revocation if appropriate.
When to email support
If reconnecting works once but the same source expires again within a day, that's a platform-side issue (Google / Meta), not something we can fix from our side. Email support@agencylens.app with the source name, the email account you connected with, and the timestamps you saw the token expire. Per our support policy, if we can't resolve a platform-side OAuth issue within 24 hours, you can request an AppSumo refund.
