Real-Time vs Polling: What's the Difference?
Not all "real-time" alerts are actually real-time. Here's what to look for.
Polling (5-15 min delay)
Most tools check Salesforce every 5-15 minutes for changes. This means:
- Alerts arrive 5-15 minutes after the change
- Multiple changes can batch into one alert
- Higher API usage on Salesforce
Used by: Zapier, many workflow tools
Platform Events (<3 sec)
True real-time uses Salesforce Platform Events to push changes instantly:
- Alerts delivered in 1-3 seconds
- Every change triggers its own alert
- Lower API usage, more efficient
Used by: Pyko
