I recall my memories, AppSheet could send massive number of emails through Workflow (currently know as Automation) before Google Time. I also remember AppSheet was using Mandrill (Mailchimp) service to deal with this, and it was working fine to send high number of emails (to cope with the needs of large enterprises company) . After aquisition by Google for Appsheet, the mailer service (behind the scene) was changed from Mandrill to Google hosted-one (I m not sure though), but currently it fails all the time.
For instance, we are the enterprise company with thousands of employees. We set Automation wth schedule event, to sent all the employees with email notification. Without asking you, we are not able to send such a high number of email as the Mailer service behinde the scene is less capable (compared with old ones, i.e. Mandrill). To make things wrose, we are not sure if or not the mails (expected to be sent out) was successfully sent to all of the recipients or not, as Automation monitor not to tells this fact, but it says "successfull". From AppSheet point of view, when we set the Automtion to sent 5000 employeess in my company, with AppSheet automation, we can run the automation, but it is impossible to see if there is failure to send mails to the expected reciver or not.
Google / Gmail quota for a day is allegedly said to be 2500 emails per day. So possibly we are meeting with this type of quota restriction, but we are not perfectly sure as there is no DOCUMENT about it.
I wish to select the mailer service to run the automation rather than Google native (always restriceted even with higher tier of the lisense and money we pay) and ask external more reliable services to deal with AppSheet task for the AUTOMATION. Further , we wish to detect the failer of email delivery through the Automation Monitor, or oher possible means.
For now, we are not sure if or not the Automatoin could or not send email to the instructed recievers or not..... 😪
