Webhook - Step 1 in my Scenario

Steps taken so far

Hello, in Step 1 of my first scenario, I have a webhook (IG for Business) to watch events “comments” and I got all of the permissions from FACEBOOK. But, when I go to “run this module” it just spins, it is supposed to trigger when a new comment gets left on my IG feed. But is not recognizing anything and just keeps spinning? Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi @DesignerBrian
it’s ok. If you put the webhook on a startup, it has to “listen” to FB. It will be triggered when it receives information from FB. If you run it, it will run and wait for information to arrive. That is correct.

Instant Triggers

This is because the 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 gets “stuck” 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. P.S.: investing some effort into the tutorials in the Make Academy will save you lots of time and frustration using Make!
