HTTP connector - New event via polling trigger
The New event via polling trigger fetches events at each polling interval. Workato makes a GET request to the URL you provide. The number of events retrieved for each poll depends on the API endpoint that you send the request to.
You must create an HTTP connection before you can configure an HTTP trigger.
REAL-TIME TRIGGER
You can use the New event via webhook trigger if your use case requires your recipe to respond to trigger events in real-time.
PAGINATION NOT SUPPORTED
This trigger only reads the first page of records in APIs that enforce pagination. You can set up a trigger with the connector SDK if your use case expects a paginated response.
