ShipTheory Blocked, Firewall Rules and Definitely Automated Requests

Hello, thanks for taking the time to read. We've just migrated over to CloudFlare Pro after months of using Recaptcha on and off to block mass attempts of fraudulent transactions. I'm pleased to say its been amazing and stopped all the issues dead.

One setting I am keen for us to enable is the "Definitely automated" under Security > Bots. However if we enable this it blocks ShipTheory's access to the API for Shipping Labels.

This is despite Whitelisting all the IP's in https://support.shiptheory.com/support/solutions/articles/24000048543 and skipping all WAF components (see screenshot).

If we enable Definitely automated it seems to take presdence over this Firewall Rule? Is that correct? I was hoping someone could give me some pointers on resolving this.

One last point I'll add is - we get very limited feedback from ShipTheory when these errors occur, just the response status code.
