Hey peeps. I’m a newb here, still learning, no coding experience. I don’t even have no coding experience
My app is basically a chat bot. A user types a question, clicks a button, that triggers a webhook in Make connected to open AI which gives a response.
Now, I have fleshed out the process. When I hit Run Once in Make, it all works nicely. However, I can’t get the webhook in Make to keep looking for data.
I set it up to be triggered instantly when data arrives, but it doesn’t do it’s job. It only works when I click Run Once.
I tried stoping and starting the scenario, creating a new webhook. I even tried using Pipedream but that’s a whole different issue.
Is there any hope?
I’d say I am loosing hair over this, but I am already bald.
Hey @Gong I use webhooks and make lots (i mean lots) so… when you set up the webhook in make, it should be your trigger point, ie the first module in the chain, The fact you say you hit “run once” and it runs sounds like the first part of your problem, it should just sit and spin waiting for a trigger from an external source (in this case, glide) so back track and set up the webhook module in make.com and it will provide you with a URL to copy, do that. Now, back in Glide, you need to set up some sort of workflow using the webhook integration, for example, use a btn, and build a workflow that triggers the webhook integration when it is clicked. When you look at the webhook module in glide, you’ll notice the setting will be looking for a URL, that’s where you paste the URL you got from Make.com Once done, test your setting by hitting run once in Make and the webhook module should start spinning waiting for data, go to Glide, click the button you set up, go back to make and the webhook should have fired. Sucess. From there, use the setting in your new integration to send table data to make
BTW. U don’t really need make to do what you are trying to do, Glides own Ai setup is more than capable of providing the responses if it’s just an LLM chat with no other integration
Thanx @Laurence_Schuberth
I set it up just as you said. Button - workflow with webhook module in Glide.
Webhook module first in line in Make. When I hit Run once, Webhook in Make starts spinning, receives data after button clicked in Glide, then all 5 modules in Make ‘light up’.
This morning, I erased the Make webhook and built it again. I tested it, and waited for the Webhook to start spinning, receive the data, and the rest of the modules to light up. But they didn’t.
However! It actually worked! I got a response in the app and everything happened very fast.
I am so stoked!
As it turns out, when Make scenario is in “immediately when data received mode”, the Webhook module doesn’t spin, and none of the modules light up(which was what I expected to happen). It’s like the scenario works in incognito mode
Just one of those noob things that happen, I guess.
Thanx again for reaching out!
If you were editing the scenario when the webhook comes in, you won’t see anything happening.
But if you save and back out, then you’ll see all the bells and whistles
