Re: Exposure bracketing with flash on Canon R5

Hi,
I am a real estate photographer using a Canon R5 with 15-35mm lens setup.
Currently using a tripod I shoot 3 exposure brackets (-1, 0, +1) for internal room shots and then merge these in Lightroom to try and get both the view out of the window and all areas of the room looking good with a few tweaks.
However, I often find walls that should look crisp and white appear dull with maybe a yellow tinge to them. I think that using a diffused flash bounced off the ceiling would help to crisp up the whites, however I can't get this to fire automatically off the hotshoe when in exposure bracketing mode.
Does anyone know if this can be done? Currently I fire a handheld flash manually which helps with the walls but relies on me timing it right!
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Probably an obvious question, but I take it you have tried using AEB with single-frame shooting rather than continuous? You really would have thought Canon would lift the restriction for single-frame shooting. However, Canon are Canon and I'm guessing they didn't!
One possible workaround (which I haven't tried) is to use the interval timer. I believe it can be combined with AEB. Interval timer can also be combined with flash. Question is, whether all three can be combined together. I've heard this works on Nikon - not sure about Canon.
On top of this, you know you have flash exposure bracketing (FEB) on many flashes, right? So if you set up FEB on the flash, and the above works, you should get a consistent ambient/flash balance on each bracketed shot.
Let us know if this works - I'm interested.
