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

Choose Where to Start
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 rerun your scenario with next using the “Choose manually” option.

This is great information and it seems to fix the issue. When I right click the scenario and select from now on my default to since specific ID. How do I change it to default to all? If not, where do I get the ID from?
Looks like Sheets doesn’t have an “From now on” option because Sheets don’t track new rows by timestamps.
You can disconnect the trigger module from the rest of the scenario, select “All”, then manually run just that module until it has no new items to process.
Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues.
