Hello,
Here is the context :
I plugged Make to discord and openaiGPT. My automatisation is attached to this message.
For the moment MAKE is watching when a message is posted on the channel.
The problem is that everytime make is watching, it consumes a credit of automatisation.
So for the moment, watching it every 15 minutes, it consumes 96 automatisations per day to watch.
I would like to know if there is a different automatisation different from WATCH and something that would active the automatisation when a message is sent to the channel or the bot is mentionned…
In this way it will consume only when the bot is used with messages.
Thanks,

This is because the 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 and Webhooks sections of the Make help center.
To answer your question:
See if your app has an “Instant” or “Webhook” trigger in Make. If not, check if the third-party service (Discord) 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.

Hey Samliew,
Thank you for your message!
I watched integrations, webhooks etc… and i now understand the difference between pull/push automatisation.
If i’m correct there is only 3 triggers for discord (attachment) so i guess it’s not possible to create a push webhook from discord to make ?
Check the Discord API, maybe there is an unintegrated endpoint/webhook that does that.
This is what I said above:
