How to trigger a module independently in the middle of a scenario?

[Hashim_Khan]

Hi,

I have a scenario that consists of two parts. The first part generates social media posts. The second part should trigger when we approve the posts by entering ‘yes’ in a Google Sheet. I need to create a webhook for the Google Sheet to manage this second part of the scenario, but I’m having trouble setting it up as a webhook for googel sheet cannot be added in the middle of the scenario, it should be always at the front.

What I want to achieve is for the social media posting module to trigger whenever we enter ‘approved’ in the Google Sheet. Is there a way to initiate the second part of this scenario independently without triggering the first part?

No. A scenario can only have one trigger.
To achieve what you’re looking for, you should create a second scenario with a trigger for the Google Sheet.

If you need additional data from your first scenario, you can think of storing the data in your Google Sheet as well, or use the Make Data Stores.

Custom Webhooks can only be the trigger module, and not in the middle of the scenario.
