Dear all,
**Describe the bug:**
I have [make.com](http://make.com) scenarios for creating stripe checkout and customer portal sessions: triggered by webhooks and writing back the stripe-links with http POST requests (using glide api). The scenarios are successfully processed in 2-3 seconds, and stripe’s log says ok to every session.
In half of the cases, it takes 2-4 attempts (always waiting \>3 minutes in between) until Glide API successfully writes back within ~15 seconds (data structure in google sheets). It is always the link of the most recently requested checkout or customer portal session.
**Expected Behaviour:**
always write back within seconds.
**Questions:**
Is it because of the changes in glide’s NCM?
Or because I’m using google sheets?
I know that google sheet only sync every 3 minutes: [Create date taking 2-3 minutes to propagate from Google Sheet - #2 by david](https://community.glideapps.com/t/create-date-taking-2-3-minutes-to-propagate-from-google-sheet/42406/2)
and I was hoping to avoid this lag by using glide api instead of google sheet modules in [make.com](http://make.com).
Any advice is highly appreciated!

Hey @Gregory,
Let’s look into this for you. We’ll need more info here. Can you provide a support link and date/time of a failed attempt?
