New Item Polling

Poll an endpoint on a schedule and fire when a new record appears. The workhorse trigger.

The most common trigger in APIANT. Polls a source endpoint on a schedule and fires once per record that didn't exist on the previous check.

When to use

  • The source has no webhooks.
  • You need records as they're created (not modified).
  • Near-realtime is good enough (polling interval is usually 5–15 min).

Alternatives

  • New or Updated Polling — also fires on modifications to existing records.
  • Webhook triggers — lower latency if the source supports them.
