# New message trigger (real-time)
This trigger monitors new messages in your Cisco Webex Teams instance in real-time. Workato processes each message as a separate job.
USING THIS TRIGGER WITH BOT ACCESS TOKEN AUTHENTICATION
To ensure new messages sent to the bot are processed, tag the bot in the message. For example, @bot_name new message.
Additionally, due to API response times, this trigger may experience delays. To minimize delays, bot users should avoid sending messages less than three seconds apart. If a message doesn’t trigger a job, try sending another message to process the previous job.
