I created an awesome zap linking my Google Forms responses to Asana, creating an Asana task, and it was working flawlessly, and now all of a sudden, within the past week or two, the automation has gone from firing off in 1 min to taking 45min-1hr+. ???? baffled.

All of a sudden super slow automation between Google Forms + Asana?

Hi
My understanding is that you're seeing a delay between when the responses are added and when the Zap triggers. Is that correct?
If so, there's a common workaround that we could try. It's pretty simple, in that you just need to switch from a "New Response in Spreadsheet in Google Forms" trigger to a "New Spreadsheet Row in Google Sheets" trigger. We've seen that resolve a lot of issues with Google Forms and I'd be curious to see if it works, here.
Please let me know if that works out and/or if you run into issues. I want to make sure we’re getting you to where you need to go.
