Scenario without errors, but does not run all modules

How To

hej Markers!! The scenario runs fine, without errors, but the last two modules don’t work. What could it be? Can anyone help me?
The goal is to take posts from a specific Facebook page and reuse them to publish on my networks.

The scenario was running fine, then I tried to optimize it using the buffer app and it worked correctly. Still, when I corrected some errors in the buffer module configuration, it stopped working properly. Later I tried it again without the buffer module, just as it was at the beginning, and did not work correctly. Only the first Facebook module runs and the rest do not.

Welcome to the Make community!

The bundles are usually stopped by either a filter, or a search/match module does not return any bundles.

If you need further assistance, please provide the following:

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 mappings and settings. At the bottom of the scenario editor, you can click on the three dots to find the Export Blueprint menu item.


(Note: Exporting your scenario will not include private information or keys to your connections)

Uploading it here will look like this:

blueprint.json (12.3 KB)

3. And most importantly, Input/Output bundles

Please provide the output bundles of the modules by running the scenario (or get from the scenario History tab), then click the white speech bubble on the top-right of each module and select “Download input/output bundles”.

A.

Save each bundle contents in your text editor as a bundle.txt file, and upload it here into this discussion thread.

Uploading them here will look like this:

module-1-output-bundle.txt (12.3 KB)

B.

If you are unable to upload files on this forum, alternatively you can paste the formatted bundles in this manner:

A. Type code block manually

  • Either add three backticks ``` before and after the content/bundle, like this:

    ```
    content goes here
    ```

B. Highlight and click the format button in the editor

Providing the input/output bundles will allow others to replicate what is going on in the scenario even if they do not use the external service.

Following these steps will allow others to assist you here. Thanks!

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

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. When it runs and there is no new result, this is called a “Check run”.

You need to create a new item BEFORE the next time the scenario runs.

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.

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

I understand now. Thanks a lot, I’m reading the Triggers now.

But, what specifically other item should I use next time the scenario runs again and be able to obtain what I need?

Since I need to do some tests with the buffer module and as I am modifying the configuration of that module until I get what I want with the final post, I have to run the scenario several times to be able to see how the publications are going.

Indeed, I can also try to observe another page with more activity, but I don’t think that even the page that posts the most in the world does it at the speed that I want.

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 “Choose manually” if you want to rerun on older data.

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