Google Sheets Webhook Not Triggering Second Part of Scenario

Description
I have set up a multi-step scenario that involves extracting data from a Google Sheet, processing it, and then updating the Google Sheet based on certain conditions. However, I am facing an issue where the second part of the scenario, which is supposed to be triggered by a webhook from Google Sheets, is not executing as expected.

Scenario Details
blueprint.json (128.0 KB)

First Part of the Scenario:

  1. RSS Module: Watches for new RSS feed items.
  2. HTTP Module: Makes a request to fetch data.
  3. Text Parser: Parses the fetched data to extract specific content.
  4. Tools Module: Aggregates the parsed text.
  5. OpenAI Module Summarizes the aggregated text using ChatGPT.
  6. Google Sheets Module: Adds the summarized text to a Google Sheet.

This part of the scenario works flawlessly and adds a new row to the Google Sheet with the summarized content.

Second Part of the Scenario:

  1. Google Sheets (Watch Changes): This module is set up to watch for changes in the Google Sheet.
  2. Router Module: Routes the data based on the “Approval Status” column in the Google Sheet.
    • Path 1 (Yes): If “Approval Status” is “Yes”, it posts the content to X, Facebook, and LinkedIn.
    • Path 2 (No): If “Approval Status” is “No”, it sends the content to ChatGPT for further summarization and then updates the Google Sheet with the new summary.

Problem Encountered

When I change the “Approval Status” in the Google Sheet to “No”, the webhook is supposed to trigger the second part of the scenario. However, this is not happening. Here are the specific steps I have taken and the configurations I have set up:

  1. Webhook Configuration:

    • I have created a webhook in the Google Sheets add-on in Make.
    • The webhook is correctly linked to the Google Sheet and set to trigger on changes.
      Here the link to it
      Edelman content - Google Sheets
  2. Google Sheets Watch Changes Module:

    • This module is set as the first module in the second part of the scenario.
    • The webhook URL is configured correctly.
    • The trigger event is set to “On change”.
  3. Router Configuration:

    • Path 1 is configured to filter where “Approval Status” equals “Yes”.
    • Path 2 is configured to filter where “Approval Status” equals “No”.




Request for Assistance

Could you please help me identify why the webhook is not triggering the second part of my scenario? Any insights or suggestions to resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated.

The “Watch Changes” (second part of the scenario), actually has to be in a new separate scenario, or it will never be triggered.

A trigger module will have the “Clock” (or Lightning) icon on it (like your RSS module). This indicates that it is triggered on a schedule (or immediately).

got it
I did and its worked

but I accrued small issue and want to ask please:

1.After this scenario is complete
blueprint (1).json (58.7 KB)

And I click no in my google sheet the path is properly working and doing what its should

but when I click yes in the google sheet the path not working and its not posting to LinkedIn new post
blueprint.json (59.0 KB)

  1. Even if the first module is selected to be instant the scenario not start by itself and need to start it manually
    why is that and how to change?

Many thanks and appreciate your assistance

You’ll need to provide additional screenshots, because the blueprint doesn’t explain what you are looking at.

If the trigger is instant, you need to turn on the scenario, otherwise the data/requests go into a queue.

Turn your scenario off and then on again. It will prompt you to delete all the data in the queue, or process all the older requests first.

and regarding my first question about the LinkedIn post

Looks like your filter is referencing Column A, when your Yes/No column is Column B.
