Can I control when my Zap runs?

If your Zap uses a polling trigger or the Schedule or Delay apps, you can change when some or all of your Zap runs.

Polling triggers

Polling triggers look for new information from your trigger app once every 1 to 15 minutes. The polling time for your Zaps varies based on your subscription plan. 

Tip

Instant triggers run as soon as new information is created in your trigger app. You cannot change this.

Customize polling interval

If you're on a Pro, Team, or Enterprise plan on Zapier, you can change how often your polling trigger looks for new data. 

• Open your Zap in the Zap editor.
• In the right sidebar, click the advanced settings icon .
• Click the Polling interval dropdown menu to expand it, then select a new interval for this Zap.
  • You can select between 1 and 15 minutes.

The polling interval will update after the next poll.

Manually poll for new data

In the Zap editor, you can manually look for new data outside of your regular polling interval. When you view your published Zap, you can click Run in the top right to poll for new data.

Change when your Zap runs using built-in tools

If you want your Zap to run:

• At a specific time, you can set up a scheduled trigger. 
• After a certain period of time, rather than instantly, you can add a delay  step to your Zap.
