Reducing frequency of retrieve poll webhook trigger

I’m setting up a retrieve poll webhook trigger for an API that only allows me to make GET requests (it doesnt have webhooks of its own).

I’d prefer not to have zapier make too frequent requests to the API, but I also want to pay for a higher zapier plan. If I use the more expensive zapier plan, zapier automatically makes these polls more frequent.

Is there a way to intentionally throttle how often this runs? I would just use the “Schedule” trigger, but I don’t see an easy way to deduplicate with that.

Hi @travisp123 

Good question.

Currently there is not the ability to set the polling frequency for the Webhooks Retrieve Poll trigger.
