# 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.

## Edit Update Poller

{% hint style="info" %}
Rather than create a new poller, you can edit the previously configured 'Update Poller', changing the Name, Description & Poll Processor.

*(You could choose to copy the previous Poller instead. However, there is no need to have two pollers polling for updates every 5 minutes, so if copying the previous poller, remember to deactivate it.)*
{% endhint %}

In order to process the inbound Requests, we need to configure the **Inbound Messages**.
