🐛 [Resolved] Issue in Google API Affecting New Row Trigger

Announcements
1

Hello,

We have seen many reported issues regarding new Google Sheet rows where it doesn’t trigger. From our investigation, it appears to be an Issue caused by Google Drive API,

Investigation

The Google New Sheet Row Trigger depends on the Google Drive API. Normally, Google notifies Activepieces when a Google Sheet file is changed, which triggers the flow in Activepieces. However, we were able to reproduce the issue in different environments where Google doesn’t send the event indicating that the file is changed, and because of this, Activepieces doesn’t trigger the flow.

We have also noticed this issue reported on other automation platforms that have Instant Row Triggers since they use the same API.

Next Steps & Impact

We are still trying to find a public announcement from Google to understand the impact of the issue.

Workaround

Please use the Schedule Trigger + Get New Row(s) Action as it doesn’t depend on Google sending the event and periodically checks the rows.

Sorry for the inconvenience,
Mo.

Does it work for everybody? It worked for me for some time, but now, again, it doesn’t work!

If for somebody the trigger is not working, you can make a script in google sheets to send a webhook, when a new row is made. I did it and it works instantly.
If you want help on this give me a reply!

Hi @Uldis_Feldmanis

How long until it stopped working? Is it couple of hours or a days?
