I started using the Gmail trigger. I asked the trigger to fire every minute for testing.
Strangely, I do not see any execution is visible in the history. I have activated the recording of logs in the workflow settings.
I have the impression that the trigger is not triggered. what should I check?
I just tested with a CRON node.
I tell myself that I do not see any execution of the workflow because the Trigger did not retrieve any emails, therefore no start of the Workflow.
Is this reason?
Polling trigger nodes wouldn’t result in a new execution for each polling interval. Only when a message is actually received, a new execution would be triggered.
what do you mean by saying that “Only when a message is actually received, a new execution would be triggered”?
The trigger only fetches new messages arriving after the workflow has been activated. Not the old messages you might see when manually executing it.
How can I know if pooling works as excepted?
If you want more transparency or control you can simply use the regular Gmail node instead of the trigger node. Using the regular node you can then fetch all unread messages, including the older ones which the trigger wouldn’t receive.
