When I’m trying to connect Google Chat as a Trigger through your example platform, I’m getting a 403 error. Any ideas?

looks like this might be a scope-related issue from the error response

```bash
error=\"insufficient_scope\", scope=\"https://www.googleapis.com/auth/chat.import https://www.googleapis.com/auth/chat.messages https://www.googleapis.com/auth/chat.messages.readonly https://www.googleapis.com/auth/chat.app.messages.readonly\"
```

Any updates on this? Or any tips on how to get around it?

Hey ! This looks like a scopes issue, so we’ll need to update the app. I’ll follow up by tomorrow with an update

- it looks like the scopes needed for this are sensitive scopes. We typically follow least-scopes principals and suggest users set up [custom oauth](/content/docs/connect/managed-auth/oauth-clients#using-a-custom-oauth-client/index.html) for custom auth needs.

Ah okay - Is there a list of providers/actions where this is required?

Ideally I’d like to get ahead before my users do.
