Watch change trigger by external form

How To

Hey

I’m trying to build a connection where, whenever a form is submitted, a new row is created on my google sheet and make launches severals API’s to complete the said row.

So far I’ve been able to:

  • Connect my form to my sheet
  • Use the “watch change” instant trigger only when I update manually my Gsheet.

I just want to know if there is any way at all to avoid the manual change and make it automatic? I really need the autoùation to run automatically as soon as a customer input a value.

Goal of the automation :
My customer will be sending GPS coordinates in the form and the plateform I’m using will instantly retrieve the info from Gsheet to display it on the platform.

Thanks for the tips :slight_smile:

Welcome to the Make community!

If you want an instant trigger then perhaps Google Sheets isn’t the right output for your form.

What other services can your form connect to? Does it support webhook callbacks (call an instant Custom Webhook trigger)? What service is your form made on?

Thanks for the quick answer !

My form is created on softr and sends the data on gsheet. Make is supposed to retrieve it and complete the rows

According to Softr documentation, you can send the data directly to Make.
