Slack New Message Trigger frequency

[enthousiastpabblyuser]

Hello,

I'm a fresh user of Pabbly Connect, so excited to build cool automation with it
I tried to find it but no luck so far, where do I change the trigger frequency for slack new message?

You can't change it. 10 min interval is the lowest interval provided by Pabbly Connect for polling based triggers. For webhook based triggers it is instant.

That's too long to wait 10 minutes for our workflow to trigger.
So can we use Pabbly webhook to replace slack - new message trigger?

No, if webhooks are possible for any app Pabbly build the integration on webhooks first. But in slack integration's case it is a polling based integration, so you can not reduce the time more than 10min.

Is it a restriction coming from Slack or Pabbly? Does Zapier have the same limitation from Slack - New Message Trigger?

What's specifically is a polling based trigger?

Zapier has different polling time based on the plan you purchase. But in pabbly connect minimum polling time is 10 min.

For understanding polling vs webhook based trigger this video will help -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ACw1VwTED4

P.S. - It is my own channel video.

Hope it's something that Pabbly Connect can introduce too (fasting polling times)!
