I know that, but they have added an option called “Instant”. That one is not working, even after 15 minutes of waiting.

Hi @ZoBro23 

Give it a few minutes and check your Zap Runs: https://zapier.com/app/history/

 

The Google Sheets trigger is marked "instant" but it still takes a few minutes to trigger

The triggers for Google Sheets are unique among Zapier triggers. When there is a trigger event in the spreadsheet, Zapier gets a notification webhook from Google about this. After that, Zapier sends Google Sheets a request for new data, so it uses both the polling and instant trigger methods. This process takes about 3 minutes overall.

While not being "instant", these triggers are faster than regular polling ones, as they don't depend on the polling interval of the plan your account uses.
