# How to instantly trigger Make scenario on row created event from Airtable free plan

# 🗒️Task:

This is a workaround since there is no straight forward way to trigger a Make scenario instantly on row created event on a free plan. On paid plan you can run script or use mailhook to address which is not one of the collaborators address.

# 🛠️Prerequisites (if applicable):

Gmail

# 📝Instructions:

Create mailhook in make and copy address
Add a forwarding address Settings - Gmail (google.com) click button Add a forwarding address
Enter address copied in step 1 and click Next
Click Proceed
[Gmail] Click OK
[Gmail] Verify forwarding address - click Re-send email
[Make] Copy confirmation code
Enter confirmation number and click Verify
Create filter - click create a filter! link
Add filters and click Create filter
Set action - check Forward it to and select forwarding address you added few steps earlier and click Create filter
The forwarding rule should show up on the Filters and Bloked Addresses
Now you can create an automation in Airtable - add a trigger and add send email action and set the To, Subject and Message fields.
Now you can test it in TEST STEP by clicking Run test
You should receive the data in mailhook Make module
