Hey everyone,
I’m using the “Watch Document” module in MAKE for Google Docs, which is supposed to support “Immediate” triggers (as it’s an ACID module). However, I’m only seeing options to schedule checks every 15 minutes and no option for immediate updates.
Has anyone else faced this or know if there’s a way to enable immediate triggering for Google Docs?
Thanks for any insights!
Hello,
Please refer to the Make.com Knowledge Base.
ACID stands for atomicity, consistency, isolation, and durability. These four properties guarantee database accuracy and stability during transactions. See this article for more information.
Make marks this functionality with a badge. Note that the ACID badge indicates the use of these properties and does not indicate whether the module is an instant or polling trigger.

Google Docs “Watch Documents” is pooling trigger, not instant. It means it must be scheduled to catch new data.

To trigger scenario instantly- you must work with AppScripts, reffer to one of many threads here like - How can i trigger a make workflow when i save changes in a Google docs? - #2 by samliew
Have a nice day!
That’s a great idea! I’m sure others would agree that this is a nice feature to have.
You can submit this suggestion to the Idea exchange, under App improvement ideas
Don’t forget to search for it first, just in case someone already suggested it, so that you don’t end up creating a duplicate.
Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues.
