Hey Tom, first of all I appreciate you so much for making the tutorial, thank you! However, I have a question, with a webhook trigger, while it doesn’t cost any operation when it is listening for new responses, the scenario will be “completed” once it received any responses, and it will deactivate the scenario right? What I’m trying to ask is how do I keep the scenario active even after there’s a webhook trigger & the operation ran through? I’m not sure why everytime, I would need to manually go back and click run to listen for new response again, since everytime the webhook is triggered it will complete the scenario (or it stopped listening for future responses), I want to keep it running & always listening to new responses/trigger

[@chris_rey]

I`m searching for the same thing! Did you find out how to to this?

[@onionthegamer]

@@chris_rey hey Chris! Yesss I found out how to sort this out!

[@onionthegamer]

@@chris_rey when you are in your specific make scenario, under the bar, there’s a “scenario settings” button, just right beside the save button, when you click on it and scroll down, you would see this “Max number of cycles”, you can set it to how many you want, basically it means how many cycles do we want this scenario to run before it stops/complete, this way, this scenario will constantly keep listening to new responses/trigger from the initial webhook. One important thing is to turn on the scheduling toggle on the bottom left corner under the run once button!

[@onionthegamer]

@@chris_rey the reason why our scenario is completed everytime the scenario run once is because our “max number of cycle” is defaultedly set to “1”

No worries! 😉

Webhooks are essential when data comes in slowly, but if it comes in quickly, it will generate webhooks many times in 15 minutes, killing the entire purpose of saving actions.

[@XRayAutomation]

Fair counter- it really depends. Webhooks is just another tool in the tool belt. Some situations it’s great, others not so much. It’s the awareness of webhooks and demystifying them - that’s the goal here

Thanks for all the valuable video content! Is it possible to use webhooks with Notion to trigger a workflow in make?

[@XRayAutomation]

Thanks! Notion currently can't send webhooks, but it can still has automation abilities. You can see them all right here: xray.tools/app/notion

How to do this in Coda or Notion?

[@XRayAutomation]

You want to trigger automations from coda & notion- or you want to update content in coda/Notion after the automation is triggered?

[@user-ui3po6vz9r]

Hello! excellent video, thanks for taking the time to explain how it works. I have a problem with an automation with a webhook, I want to achieve that when someone clicks on the link (the webhook), a field within airtable is updated, but I can't do it, when they click on it it takes me to a page that says "true" confirms the action of the webhook but nothing happens inside Airtable, no field is modified. I don't know what to try anymore, could you help me? If something occurs to you, thank you very much ♥

Come to Open Automation Hour tomorrow: calendly.com/xraytech/open-automation-hours Sounds like a quick fix.

Hi sir. I have success build scenarios for autowish birthday. Trigger by date n i set time to trigger everyday 12.00 am, when no data no wish. But operation still running everyday. Regardless of all that, I want to ask, is it possible to trigger scenarios with the timestamp i created in google sheet? Let say, i have 3 time everyday to send my report to group (with Whatsapp API), but i need sent to variable time everyday. May God bless you

[@XRayAutomation]

Google sheets, no. Airtable, yes! (Even on the free plan) kzbin.info/www/bejne/qHOXaKOZjtKLZtksi=doMedQhhYG4pAc2w
