I’m having trouble with data syncing.

Current pdf generation workflow on explorer plan:

1. On click action triggers [make.com](http://make.com) webhook including a specific row of data from Glide.
2. [make.com](http://make.com) scenario generates a pdf and sends it to a Glide webhook workflow.
3. Glide webhook workflow uses the upload file step to add the file to the row from step 1.

Those 3 steps/workflow usually take less than 10 seconds to complete. However, when seen from the user perspective, the pdf previewer doesn’t show the generated pdf unless the user refreshes the page or restarts the app. It only seem to sync 1/5 times without the user having to refresh or restart.

Any tips to have the data sync?

Using glide regular tables.

It do be sometimes like that for me, not as bad as 1/5 but like 3/5, and also a problem with Make.

I don’t know if that can be classified as a Glide API problem, but I think so.

Any workarounds? Could using Glide big tables combined with reload query action possibly fix this?

That sounds the best thing to do, do you think you would set a wait for like 60 seconds and do a query?

I’m too deep into designing that app to restructure, but hopefully it can work fore you.
