How to use data from one scenario into another scenario

How To

I have “Scenario A” that performs the following tasks:

  1. Trigger: New user subscribes on Airtable.
  2. A Google Sheet file is created.
  3. Google Sheet file is shared to the email supplied by user in step 1.

Then I have “Scenario B” that needs to perform tasks with information that I have in “Scenario A”:

  1. Trigger: On new row of Google Sheet (created in Scenario A).
  2. Create a GPT completion… according to information of Scenario A, Step1.

I have added http in “Scenario A” and a Webhook in “Scenario B” but the weebhook triggers instantly and not “On new row” of the Google Sheet.

I need Scenario B to trigger “on new row” and also be able to use data from scenario A.

Can you help me?

Welcome to the Make community!

To trigger another scenario, you can use the HTTP → Custom Webhook method.

The calling scenario uses a HTTP module to make a request to another scenario’s Custom Webhook trigger module’s URL. You can pass data via JSON, form data, or query parameters.

You can also use the Make API to trigger another scenario to save an operation, only if there is no data to pass.

If you need further assistance, please provide the following:

1. Relevant Screenshots

Please share screenshots of your scenario, any error messages, relevant module fields, and filters in question? It would really help other community members to see what you’re looking at.

You can upload images here using the Upload icon in the text editor:

2. Scenario Blueprint

Please export the scenario blueprint file to allow others to view the mapped variables in the module fields. At the bottom of the scenario editor, you can click on the three dots to find the Export Blueprint menu item.

3. Output Bundles of Modules

Please provide the output bundles of the modules by running the scenario (or get from the scenario History tab), then click the white speech bubble on the top-right of each module and select “Download input/output bundles”.

A. Upload as Text File

Save each bundle contents in your text editor as a bundle.txt file, and upload it here into this discussion thread.

B. Insert as Formatted Code Block

If you are unable to upload files on this forum, alternatively you can paste the formatted bundles.
These are the two ways to format text so that it won’t be modified by the forum:

  • Method 1: Type code block manually

    Add three backticks ``` before and after the content/bundle, like this:

    ```
    content goes here
    ```

  • Method 2. Highlight and click the format button in the editor

Providing the input/output bundles will allow others to replicate what is going on in the scenario even if they do not use the external service.

Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues.

Hi Samliew!
I was able to set up the HTTP module in scenario 1 and the Webhook in scenario 2, I was also able to pass data successfully from scenario 1 to scenario 2. I don’t have any errors.

My question is about how to trigger scenario 2 when a new row is added to Google Sheet and not instantly when the Webhook receives the data from scenario 1.

I need to use data from scenario 1 but I don’t want to trigger scenario 2 instantly when the webhook receives the data.

I’m not exactly sure if items added non-manually can trigger Sheets “Watch new rows” module.

Custom Webhooks can be scheduled too to process a “batch” of new items at the time of scheduled run.

Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues.
