Describe the problem/error/question
My Google Drive Trigger node is not polling automatically.
Workflow is Active- “Fetch Test Event” works correctly and returns data
- Manual “Execute workflow” works fine
Automatic polling never triggers when new files are added to the folder- When activating/deactivating the workflow, I frequently get 502 or 524 errors
The trigger was working before but stopped working recently.
What is the error message (if any)?
When trying to activate the workflow:
- “Workflow could not be activated: Request failed with status code 502”
- “Workflow could not be activated: Request failed with status code 524”
Sometimes after page reload, the workflow becomes Active, but polling still doesn’t work.
Please share your workflow
(I cannot share the full workflow due to sensitive data, but the relevant trigger configuration is:)
- Node: Google Drive Trigger
- Credential: Google Service Account
- Poll Times: Every Minute
- Trigger On: Changes Involving a Specific Folder
- Folder: Transcripts
- Watch For: File Created
Share the output returned by the last node
“Fetch Test Event” returns correct data from Google Drive, so authentication is working.
