This error occurs when there's an issue with the credential you're using and its scopes or permissions.
To resolve:

Refer to [Google OAuth2 Single Service - Enable APIs](/integrations/builtin/credentials/google/oauth-single-service.md#enable-apis) for more information.
2. For [Service Account](/integrations/builtin/credentials/google/service-account.md) credentials:
1. [Enable domain-wide delegation](/integrations/builtin/credentials/google/service-account.md#enable-domain-wide-delegation).
2. Make sure you add the Gmail API as part of the domain-wide delegation configuration.
