Troubleshooting

Authorization failure: HTTP protocol error. 401 Unauthorized. Invalid Credentials :
If you encounter such an error when you attempt to sync a data source it is most probably due to the fact that you have added multiple connections for the same Google Analytics account. Google provides an access token refresh mechanism only for one connection per application. Therefore any subsequently added connection will work for a brief period of time. To ensure the proper synchronization of your data - create all data sources using the initial connection that was added to your Quantive Results account. If this is not an option you can contact our support team for instructions how to revoke previous connections.
