Why is Google API Blocking Requests for Creating Files on Google Drive Due to Suspected Automated Queries?

Help
21

if you publish the action privately I think it should update the drive client to the latest, do you still see that error then?

22

Yep I do

23

Doesn’t it use the latest when you add the step? Or deploy the workflow?

24

Yeah for custom code steps, for registry and custom actions it’s on publish I believe

25

I tried redeploying the workflow to test, but same error.

26

For what it’s worth I just tried the same action in Zapier and it works, so it seems like it’s something on our end :thinking_face:

27

I even tried it with a VPC, thinking maybe it was related to our AWS IPs or something, but same issue

28

Super appreciate you being so responsive. We’re relying heavily on this workflow working.

29

Let me know if there’s anything I can do on my end to help with this, or if you want me to also reach out via some other support channel!

I forwarded it along to the team, someone should be able to check it soon, but it’d also be helpful for tracking if you can submit a bug with that integration on pipedream.com/support

31

Submitted!

32

I linked to this slack thread and mentioned you as well!

I have the same issue here, for a Pipedream Google Drive action (upload file) using Pipedream Google OAuth executed at 10h30 Paris time.

I have tried with a custom code in NodeJS and created a new Service Account in GCP but same issue

34

Got it, thanks both of you. We’ll take a look.

35

Problem is fixed now, thank you

36

did you change anything to fix it?

37

do you still see the issue on your side?

38

I am now using my custom code to upload file to google Drive instead of Pipedream app

39

Got it, could you please test with the Pipedream app and see if the issue is still present?

I started looking into this yesterday and was seeing the same error for the Create New File From Text action, but testing again today, it seems to be working, and I’m not getting any errors. I found an incident report for Zapier from a couple years ago where they were having a similar issue, and their solution was to implement exponential backoff.
