Welcome to the Make community!
You have set the “schedule” for your scenario to “On demand”. This is the same definition as “Only run when asked to do so”, either manually by clicking “Run Once”, or via the Make API.
This is because the module is a POLLING trigger, and not an INSTANT (Webhook) trigger.
You need to set an interval for your scenario’s schedule, as it won’t run by itself. This is covered by the Make Academy, which I highly suggest you do.
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.
Here are some useful links and guides you can use to learn more on how to use the Make platform, apps, and app modules. I found these useful when I was learning Make, and hope they might benefit you too —
