Solving the Make.com Instant Trigger Issue: A Guide

Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you're trying to set up a scenario on Make.com, but the 'immediately' option just isn't showing up? You're not alone. This is a common issue that many users face, and it can be quite frustrating. But don't worry, there's a solution to this problem.

Understanding the Problem

Make.com primarily has two types of triggers: Instant and Acid (Polling). The type of trigger you can use in your scenario is determined by the watch module you're using. If the 'immediately' option isn't showing up, it's likely because the watch module you're using only supports Acid triggers, which means it can't be run instantly.

How to Fix It

Unfortunately, there's no way to change the type of trigger a watch module supports. However, understanding this limitation can help you plan your scenarios better. If you need a scenario to run instantly, you'll need to choose a watch module that supports Instant triggers.

Troubleshooting Tips

If you're still having trouble, here are a few things you can try:

  • Double-check the type of trigger your watch module supports. You can usually find this information in the module's documentation.
  • Try using a different watch module. There might be another module that does what you need and supports Instant triggers.
  • Contact Make.com support. They're always happy to help with any issues you're having.

Conclusion

While it can be frustrating when things don't work the way we expect them to, understanding why they're happening can often help us find a solution. In this case, knowing that the 'immediately' option isn't available because of the type of trigger your watch module supports can help you plan your scenarios more effectively. And remember, if you're ever stuck, don't hesitate to reach out to Make.com support. They're there to help!
