Polling Rules in Ruly can be used to process data (from internal or external DB tables) in the background without impacting the user experience.
Unlike transaction rules that run immediately during a record save, polling rules execute asynchronously on a defined schedule, allowing the system to check for new or updated records at regular intervals. This makes them especially useful for handling non-urgent tasks, long-running logic, or data coming from external databases that may be updated outside of Ruly.
By using filters, scheduling options, and polling fields like ID or timestamp, you can control exactly which records are processed and when, ensuring efficient and scalable data handling.
