Run this module only : Is make having a problem at the moment?

Features
1

I’m experiencing strange behavior in Make.com. When trying to “Run this module only”, they seem to hang - there’s just an animation showing on the first scenario module and nothing happens. I don’t see any reported issues on https://status.make.com/.

Is anyone else experiencing problems with Make.com at the moment? I’ve tried running just this HTTP module alone, but it still shows the loading animation without completing.

Instant Triggers

This is because the Custom Webhook module is an INSTANT (webhook) trigger, and not a POLLING 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).

If you run a scenario with an instant trigger, and it seems to “hang” on the trigger module, this means it is READY and WAITING for an incoming request. You basically need to trigger something for it to be instantly received by the scenario.

To find out more on the different types of Trigger modules, see refer to Types of Modules and Webhooks sections of the Make Help Centre.

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