Hi everyone, I'm a newbie and want to know if it is possible to change a zap from instant to polling? I am using a Google Sheets spreadsheet to create a Google Calendar entry, but would like a short delay between the two actions. Thank you!

Changing a zap from instant to polling

Hi
You can't change a zap from instant to polling, but in the situation you describe you could just add a "Delay" action step to achieve this.
The minimum delay is 1 minute, but if you need it shorter, there is a workaround you and do with a Javascript step to make the delay 10 seconds or less (let me know and I can give more details).
Also, fun fact, Google Sheets isn't quite instant - it's unique in that the trigger is somewhere between polling and instant in response times.
