Microsoft Excel : New Row in Worksheet to trigger notification on my phone

Hi,

I am really appreciating the capabilities of Pabbly! I just created a Microsoft Excel : New Row in Worksheet trigger for a Slack channel message action with the goal of receiving an instantaneous notification via Slack mobile app on my phone for this event. I now realize there is an 8 hour wait for the trigger / action. Is there an option to reduce this to 1 minute?

If not, is there any other integration option I could explore to generate an instant notification (<1 min) on my phone from a Microsoft Excel : New Row in Worksheet trigger?

Thank you!

Could you please grant me access to the workflow for which you want to see reduced polling time by adding me as a team member?

You can try integrating Google Sheets with Slack to receive instant notifications. Google Sheets has descriptive webhook-based trigger that will execute your workflow instantly as soon as a row is added to your spreadsheet.

Only the trigger step is relevant

Hi @ArshilAhmad, I am willing to add you to my workflow however do I not need your email address to do so? Also, how much of a polling time reduction might be possible for excel new row triggers? I cannot do what I want to do in Google Sheets unfortunately as my excel worksheet crashes when I try to convert to Google Sheets. I am using too many complex formulas unfortunately.

@t7vetter, We have reduced the polling time for your Microsoft Excel trigger.

Also, how much of a polling time reduction might be possible for excel new row triggers?

We can reduce it to 10 minutes; this is the minimum time.

Thank you @ArshilAhmad! Unfortunately I need it to be less than 5 minutes minimum however I will still set it up as a back-up notification. Much appreciated.
