Hey everyone,  
I’m using the “Watch New Row” module to trigger when a new line is added to a specific Google Sheet.

The issue: my Google Script inserts the new row directly below the header (i.e., in row 2), not at the bottom of the sheet.  
However, the module only seems to detect rows appended at the end.

I couldn’t find any setting to change the monitored range or to tell the module that new rows are added at the top.

Is there currently any way to make this work or a workaround you’d recommend?

Thanks in advance!

Hey there,

yeah it only watches rows at the bottom of the sheet. Depending on the flow it self - you can use Search Rows on a timer to look for new unprocessed rows (add a column at the end to tag a row as processed and search for rows missing that tag). Or use an app script to detect new rows and call a Make webhook to trigger the scenario.
