SAP Open Connectors currently supports events via polling or webhooks depending on the endpoint.

• Polling is a mechanism where SAP Open Connectors executes the configured query every n minutes and captures the changed information.
• Webhooks are when the provider lets SAP Open Connectors know what information has changed. Note that additional endpoint setup may be required prior to creating your Connector Instance.

If you would like to see more information on our Events framework, see Events Overview.
