Google Appointment Scheduler booking confirmation fails

[jay-jlm]

I have been asked to create an automation tool that will programmatically book appointments that exist in a Google Online Appointment Scheduler page, which is not currently possible via Google's own APIs.

The Stagehand script is able to thru the whole process of navigating the calendar and opening a Form where I can enter the contact and details.

However after clicking the "Book" button and waiting for the booking to be confirmed, the confirmation fails silently 100% of the times when doing it via the automation while it works 100% if I enter the exact same data myself manually using an incognito browser window.

I'm new to this kind of task so I welcome any insights on what could be going on and if bot protection could be at play here.
Thank you.

Hey @jay-jlm , Google does have a lot of antibot protection. Does this work when you run the session local (ie set env in stagehand config to LOCAL)? It should run in production well if you use advanced stealth, but that's only available on our Scale plans.
