What are you trying to achieve?
I am new to Make, and I am trying to modify the trigger of an existing scenario. I created a scenario where I send new Instagram posts to my email account. To test this initially, I specified that it should grab all the posts going back a few months. It worked great. Now I want to modify the trigger/listener to only grab new posts. I cannot find where to modify the initial setting. I have tried the watch module and the schedule icon, but cannot find it. I am sure this is just new user error, so please point me to the right place. Thanks
Steps taken so far
I already tried editing the module and the schedule for the scenario, but cannot find the parameters originally entered. I tried a search for this topic in the community but did not find a match.
Welcome to the Make community!
1. Screenshots of module fields and filters, and any error messages
Please share screenshots of relevant error messages, 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.
Thanks Samliew,
I have uploaded the export and the screenshot of what I am seeing when I edit the module. I hope this helps.

Polling Triggers: Epoch Panel & Selecting Older Data
Go to the Epoch Panel, by right-clicking on the trigger module (polling triggers only), and select “Choose where to start” from the list of options in the context menu.
If you select “From now on”, the next time the scenario runs it will only return new data (or nothing if there is no new data).
You can also select other old data to re-run your scenario with next using the “Choose manually” option. This will then show you a list of previous historical items you can select to process the next time the scenario is triggered.

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

P.S.: Did you know, the concepts of about 70% of questions asked on this forum are already covered in the Make Academy. Investing some effort into it will save you lots of time and frustration using Make later!
Thanks, that is what I was searching for !
