# Poller

A Poller is a configuration record which defines the frequency of polling and which logic to use (the logic itself is defined in the Poll Processor). Each time it is run, it creates a corresponding Poll Request record.

## New Poller

Click the **'Pollers' icon** & then **New**.

The fields to be configured for the New Poller modal are as follows:
