Google blocks the action?

[ElliotZaychik]

dont really remember the error exactly but setting up the deployment ID is where this happens

Upon entering "allow"(I think?) it says google has blocked this action bcuz the script wants to access harmful data

Hi @ElliotZaychik — that's a standard Google security prompt, not a real "block." When you authorize an unverified Apps Script project, Google shows a scary-looking warning because the script will call UrlFetchApp.fetch() which Google flags as "could access external data on your behalf."

The screen looks like:

Google hasn't verified this app
The app is requesting access to sensitive info in your Google Account...

To proceed:

1. Click Advanced (small text at the bottom-left)
2. Click Go to (unsafe) — yes, click "unsafe"
3. On the next page, click Allow

This is the standard flow for any Apps Script you wrote yourself that hasn't been published to the Google Workspace Marketplace (which requires a $75 fee + review process — overkill for a personal script). Your own scripts on your own Google account are perfectly safe; the warning exists because Apps Script is a powerful platform that could be abused if you ran someone else's untrusted script.

The script is doing exactly what you'd expect for a relay:

• UrlFetchApp.fetch(url, params) — to forward your client's HTTP request to the destination

That's the only "harmful data access" Google is warning about. Your account credentials are not exposed; the script runs as your account but only does what's in Code.gs (which is open-source in this repo: assets/apps_script/Code.gs).

If after clicking Allow you still get a hard block (not a warning page), please screenshot the exact error and post it here.
