On one of my scenarios, I initially had a Custom Webhook as the trigger. ![Capture d’écran 2024-08-23 à 14.00.42](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/make/original/3X/0/e/0e80dc5ee7b6e80e6471e986bfa17c758d713e30.jpeg) But this scenario is long and I wanted to work specifically on a section of it without going through all the created modules on each test run. So I created a second scenario to isolate the part I wanted to work on. On this new and shorter scenario, I changed the trigger to a Google Docs module. ![Capture d’écran 2024-08-23 à 14.00.01](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/make/original/3X/f/e/fe1ae822a4e4a8062795f5503ab33a5c84183968.jpeg) When going back to the scenario today, I learnt that my webhook had expired. In some of the previous posts in the community, I learnt that a webhook is automatically removed when inactive and that it is considered so when not attached to any scenario. So I suppose that if I had kept the Custom Webhook module as the trigger, the webhook would have been considered still active and, consequently, wouldn’t have been automatically removed. Could anyone please confirm? ---

Yes, always switch your trigger back to your Custom Webhook module and Save, before leaving the scenario editor. ---
