Google Sheets “Append or Update” Trigger Not Executing on Workflow Activation

I have set up a trigger in n8n for Google Sheets using the “Append or Update” option, and in the next node, I’m making changes to the sheet. If I run it manually, it works, but when I activate the workflow and then make changes to the sheet, it doesn’t work. I have set the poll time to every minute.

Hi, it sounds like your Google Sheets trigger in n8n isn’t firing automatically as expected, despite a correct manual run and polling setup. This often stems from authentication, permission, or trigger configuration issues.
