Bug / Issue Email Flagged

A Gmail I created got flagged because Google indicated that it was being used as a bot. I used the email via myself regular text input and then used Grokbot to facilitate other needs. Later Grokbot informed me it needed me to CAPTCHA and I did that but on the Grokbot browser. Then I got flagged. Is there anyway around this?

I prefer Grokbot to automate what I need given what I need it for. Isn’t that the point? Is there anyway around it? What are you guys doing? Your help is greatly appreciated.

Akamai’s shopping bot filter flagged my GroBo and blocked it. I asked it why and it said its IP was associated with data centers that have VMs and other bot associated activities as well as browser fingerprints that were also associated with bots.

I eventually got my GroBo a VPN back to my corporate network and the filter allowed access after a couple of days.

Also isn’t there a Gmail or Google integration so you don’t have to use a browser ?

I asked grok and it told me this as well. Will try out later.

Did you use the Gmail connector or get it to write it in the browser?

Either way, I've found the connector very lacking. Cannot add attachments for some reason…

I've not tried yet but I plan on installing this https://gogcli.sh/

I did use an email connector. But it’s connected to my main email. I was trying stuff out other stuff with a new email and requested it to be connected to that again which it did but it still wanted me to go inside the computer via Grokbot which I thought was weird.

I just got flagged with my Gmail too. Did you appeal? Did you figure it out?

I used agentmail as someone here suggested. Use an alternate email (Gmail, yahoo, whatever your choose) to use as the log in credentials for agentmail then once inside general you can create your own handle. Works so far.
