To set up a scheduled poll that will query the remote system at regular intervals, check whether any new records have been created and then pass that data to Unifi, we will need to configure the following records:
Poll Processor

Once those records are configured, we will need to configure the relevant inbound and outbound messages to process and respond to the returned data.

We will look at the polling records in turn over the next couple of pages.
Before configuring those polling records, let's first look at Connection Variables.
