Hi, I’m trying to set up a scenario that is instantly triggered whenever a Google Form receives a new response. I’ve been playing with the ‘watch responses - ACID’ module (that says it’s triggered when a new response is received), and the ‘watch responses in Google Sheets’ module, but every time I try to bring them into a scenario, it seems to insist on being scheduled. The watch icon is always there and I can’t see any options to trigger anything immediately - there are only options about when to schedule. Thanks in advance for your help! ---

Hello, [ACID](https://www.make.com/en/help/scenarios/execution,-cycles,-and-phases#acid-modules) modules support rollback. Google Forms app in Make doesn’t have an [instant](https://www.make.com/en/help/modules/types-of-modules#instant-triggers-935210) trigger so scenario will have to be scheduled. You may try using custom [webhook](https://www.make.com/en/help/tools/webhooks) module if Google Forms support webhooks. Hope this points you in the right direction, Thanks. ---

This is because the “watch responses” module is a POLLING trigger, and not an INSTANT (Webhook) trigger. There are two main types of triggers, Polling (scheduled), and Instant (webhooks). Polling triggers can only run on a schedule. Instant triggers can be run as soon as data is received by the webhook. Polling means Make checks external service for changes ( **pull** changes to Make). Webhook (instant) triggers means external service calls Make when there are new changes ( **push** changes to Make). The module you are using does not push changes — it’s basically a API request that Make has to occasionally “call” to fetch the latest changes/items. To find out more on the different types of Trigger modules, see refer to [Types of Modules](https://www.make.com/en/help/modules/types-of-modules#triggers-935210) and [Webhooks](https://www.make.com/en/help/tools/webhooks) sections of the Make help center. See if your app has an “Instant” or “Webhook” trigger in Make. If not, check if the third-party service has a feature that can send out a webhooks when content is created/updated - and then you can point it to a “Custom Webhook” trigger in your scenario. ---

Thanks @Raj_Bajaj and @samliew ! Make has a webhook extension for Google Sheets, so I’m playing around with this now. Thanks for getting me unstuck! ---
