How does "Retrieve poll" return only "New " entries ?

When the "Retrieve poll" action fetches data from the API, it checks for new entries or changes since the last poll.

I am using this webhook but I am trying to understand what mechanism allows this event to only fetch “new entries”.

As far as I can see, there is nothing i the configuration of this webhook that refers to how an entry is considered a new entry…

In this webhook, you just set the URL endpoint, optional headers if required, optional deduplication criteria, but I don´t see anything about discriminating entries from the executed poll.
