Have you ever wondered how Amazon Flex detects bots? As an experienced Amazon Flex driver, I’ve seen my fair share of drivers using bots to try and get an edge over the competition. While these bots can be tempting, they’re also a surefire way to get yourself banned from the platform.
5 Methods on How Amazon Flex Detects Bots:
1. Unusual behavior
Amazon monitors user behavior for unusual patterns. For example, if a user is grabbing blocks at a much faster rate than a human could, or if a user is grabbing blocks in different areas at the same time, Amazon may suspect that they are using a bot.
2. Multiple devices
Amazon also monitors the number of devices that are associated with a user’s account. If Amazon sees you are using multiple devices to grab blocks, this may be a sign that you need to stop and just use one device.
3. Third-party software
Amazon monitors for the use of third-party software. If Amazon detects that a user is using software that is known to be used by bots, this may be a sign that they are using a bot.
4. Customer complaints
If Amazon receives customer complaints about a driver, such as late deliveries or missing packages, they may investigate you for using a bot.
5. Internal audits
Amazon conducts internal audits on driver accounts to identify suspicious activity. This could include looking at the number of blocks a driver has grabbed, the time it takes them to complete deliveries, and the number of customer complaints they have received.
Here are a few tips to keep in mind
- Behave like a human. Avoid grabbing blocks at a superhuman rate or in different areas at the same time.
- Use only one device to grab blocks.
- Don’t use third-party software to grab blocks (unless you know what you doing)
- Provide excellent customer service to avoid complaints.
- Keep your delivery times consistent.
Always keep in mind when using bots
So, now you know the top 5 ways that Amazon Flex detects bots. As a professional driver, it’s important to be aware of these methods so that you can avoid getting banned.
