Plugin ID: orchestration_poll:timestamp

Available since: 1.0.0

Provided tokens

Token Description
[user] The current user.
Alias: current_user
[last_poll] The timestamp when the last poll was executed.
[event] The event.
[event:machine_name] The machine name of the ECA event.

Fires when an external system polls Drupal for data that has changed since a given timestamp. The polling endpoint receives JSON with a name and timestamp field.

The [last_poll] token provides the timestamp of the previous poll. Use ECA actions to call addItem() on the event to return data items with their timestamps.
