I use a Google Workspace gmail account to send emails and all of a sudden my zaps will run to the last step and the email is not being sent.  This across all my ZAPS that use gmail and it is across all emails accounts that I use in my ZAPS...no emails are being sent

It does not matter if I use an email from a previous step or a static email

I get this error message.

 

 

and this message….

 

very strange…

This issue self corrected….it is my guess that it was a Zapier issue; I did reconnect my gmail accounts and did all of the things in the documentation.  About 8 hours later, my 30 plus ZAPS that involved email started to work.

Hi ​@blueguy,

 

Welcome to the Community.

 

If you're encountering issues with your Gmail Zaps, it may be due to a temporary glitch with the Gmail API or Zapier's connection. Start by reconnecting your Gmail accounts in Zapier, as this often resolves unexpected errors. Also, consider whether you've reached Google's API limits—frequent or high-volume Zaps can trigger these limits, so reducing their frequency might help. Test each Gmail Zap individually to see if the error still appears. If the problem continues after these steps, contacting Zapier support for more in-depth assistance is best.

 

I hope this helps. Thank you for your patience and cooperation. I'm confident we can get this sorted out.

This was from Zapier tech support.

 

Thanks for reaching out! I hope you're having a great day so far—happy to lend a hand here.
 
We had an incident open with Gmail that it's possible you were affected by. In this case, since it's 
resolved now, can you try replaying these errored runs to see if it goes through?

Hi ​@blueguy,

 

Thanks for the update. It's great to hear your email-related Zaps are now working properly. It appears the issue may have been caused by a temporary Gmail incident, which can occasionally cause unexpected behavior on platforms like Zapier.

We appreciate your patience and understanding during this time. If you encounter any further issues or have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out. We're here to help.
