Hi Everyone,

I'm trying to push Person's information to a gsheet/airtable whenever a Person is added to a list. However, Zapier only capturing the trigger when a new lead is created. Does anyone know any workaround?

Ideally, I want Zapier to capture the trigger of "added to a list", so I can avoid using a webhook.

Zapier isn't actually "capturing" anything. It's presumably polling using the REST API, which is pretty insane.

You'll have more reliability and timeliness by sending a webhook callout to Zapier.

Re: my blog post -- yes, you can call directly into GSheets like that as well. Or call into a Zapier webhook receiver.

The order-of-operations here doesn't really make sense.

You want to use a webhook to call Zapier (or in fact you could call GSheets directly) triggering on Added to List.

For the use of webhook, do you mean the steps similar to this blog post (http://blog.teknkl.com/logging-marketo-form-fills-to-a-google-sheet/?marketo-nation) ?
