Account Blocked/Unblocked/Blocked Repeatedly - Limit to Emails?

I am struggling to keep my App unblocked. I have an open case with Google, but I have gone back and forth repeatedly with the App unblocking, then blocking after making an edit, or triggering an automation, which I believe is causing the block to happen over and over again.

After the initial unblock on March 18th, I was blocked again after a test. Then, my account was re-enabled on March 27th. Then, today, when I made adjustments and even had a few successes with the test runs I did in the app’s prototype stage (and email previews did go to my inbox), I ended up getting blocked a third time after trying to adjust one of the automations (not any of the email triggers).

Based on other threads, I assume it has to do with the email bots and the triggers I have for them, so I’m wondering if there is a limit to the emails that can be sent within the App when using it (to my knowledge, my organization has a CORE plan as we have a Google Workspace)? Or if there is a setting I, or an admin of my workspace, needs to adjust? Or do I need to be given admin priveleges?

I am just trying to get my account re-enabled, and to understand why this is happening repeatedly so I can ensure it does not happen once the app officially launches to my organization. I am so close to a fully developed app, but I am at my wits end with all of these blocks.

Any help is appreciated.

Hello @Brandyn,

I totally understand you! I forgot to say: welcome to the AppSheet community!

Your assumption is most likely correct, the system must have identified this bot’s action as spam or abuse. I will send you a PM so that I can have your account unblocked and request for help on what needs to be done to avoid this situation.

Update: @Brandyn’s account has been unblocked and for the time being email automation will be paused while a definite solution is implemented
