Trigger vs 5 min runs

Hi everyone

I am using the cloud version, and I want a flow to be triggered by the trigger, e.g. Google Calendar event is added. Instead it runs every 5 min. I don’t understand if this is editable

What I experience is that the flow triggers every 5 min, and not when e.g. the event is added to Google Calendar

Thanks a lot for your support!

Hi @Spyros , i think its not possible to trigger the workflow instantly if you’re to use these nodes as the trigger. I was struggling with the Google Form trigger node as well, but seems like the update time is 5 minutes, so you have to wait 5 minutes regardless of the number of new submissions coming in.

I don’t know if you can do it to Google Calendar, but for Google form and google sheet, you can use google appsript to listen for new submission/new rows coming in, and in that case you can send a request to your workflow webhook to trigger the entire workflow. That means you will have to change your trigger node to webhook node. hope that helps :smiley:

Hi there,

Upon reading through the documentation I found this Environment Variables - Activepieces.

Perhaps you can try out with this and see if you could specify the polling interval.

I guess this applies to the self-hosted version.

I’m using their cloud version currently

Thanks a lot!
