  • Google Drive getting 403 "We're sorry... but your computer or network may be sending automated queries" Error

While sending a file to google drive we get the following error on all of our Zaps:

The app returned "Sorry... body { font-family: verdana, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #fff; color: #000; }GoogleSorry...We're sorry...... but your computer or network may be sending automated queries. To protect...". Sorry... body { font-family: verdana, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #fff; color: #000; }GoogleSorry...We're sorry...... but your computer or network may be sending automated queries. To protect our users, we can't process your request right now.See Google Help for more information.Google Home

How can we fix this? It’s not a field error of any kind.

Best regards, BridgeBV

Just an update from me. I left both Zaps to run naturally last night (GMT) and they have both successfully run. As a temporary fix until Zapier comes up with a solution, on your Google Sheets, share the sheet and ALLOW ANYONE WITH A LINK, set the ALLOW LINK to EDITOR. Like I said before, I am aware of having the sheet “”OPEN”” but it has got us out of the situation and I hope this may help others.

Hi everyone,

 

let me know please when bug is fixed

 

Thanks

Hi everyone, 

I recently added a few more members to the list of affected users, and we’ll notify everyone via email once an update is available. Thanks!

@jammer.solijon  We are also affected by this issue. Please add us as an impacted user? 

Hi @AbstraktUser

Hi everyone!

I’m happy to let you know that we’ve rolled out a fix for this issue. If you saw the “Run was throttled” error you should now be able to successfully replay your tasks. 

We know that some users are still seeing some 502 errors but much less frequently. We’re keeping an eye on things to make sure that this doesn’t increase, so if you do run into this error again, please contact the Support Team using the Get Help form. 

You can learn more about this issue and how it was resolved on this Zapier Status incident page. 

Thank you all for your work on this and getting this issue resolved.

 

Kind regards,

Paul Luckett
