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

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.

The 503 and 429 errors appear to be resolved at this point. Intermittent 502 errors are still present, but at much lower levels than before.

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.

Don’t know if this will help anyone, or whether it is purely coincedence but we have two zaps that are calling the same app and both going to Google Drive on the REPLACE function. Set up identically, just a different source from the app and a different folder in Google Drive.

ZAP B lets call it, failed on the 7th but after that continued to work, so I looked into what was different in the set up. Zap B has the share “Anyone with a link” as an Editor enabled but Zap A didn’t. Yesterday (GMT) I set Zap A to be exactly the same and this morning it has run as expected, previously it had failed numerous days. I know there is a risk of making the sheet “”OPEN”” but if as a temporary measure it gets us out of this situation, its worth taking a risk until Zapier come up with a fix. I hope this might be a help for some, maybe not all but it has worked for us.

The fact this works with an “”OPEN”” sheet makes me think this is an authorisation issue on Google’s end.

I will keep monitoring these zaps but hopefully a fix is on the horizon.

This issue is preventing a launch of a new internal dataflow we’ve been building all year! Would love an update ASAP!

Please also notify me when this is fixed. Any workarounds for previously failed zaps as issue seems to be somewhat intermittent?
