Google Sheets: Response not received for 15 seconds

[wibbler]

My Google Sheets steps repeatedly fail with the error:

Error: "Response not received for 15 seconds".

How do I fix this? The Google Sheets connection two steps before completes successfully.

Hey @wibbler

Could you please share the respective workflow's name in which you are having the error?

"1. New Table Request"

Hey @wibbler

It seems like the application - Google Sheets was unable to process your request in under 15 seconds and because of that as a response you get the "Response not received in 15 seconds".

Perhaps you might be calling/using the application extensively or the data which you are passing couldn't process by the application itself due to the searching of data in heavy data.

Could adding a delay of 1 minute in the workflow help?

Hey @wibbler

The Delay action step might not help in your workaround, since the API didn't process the request in under 15 seconds. Even after the delay time, the request will again pass at the same frequency.

Hi - I tried the delay step for 1 minute - and it worked!
