# New message in topic trigger

Use this trigger to listen to new messages that are created in your Confluent Cloud topic. This trigger checks for new messages once every poll interval and Workato processes each message as a separate job.

# Input fields

Field Description
Trigger poll interval Determine how frequently to check for new events. This defaults to five minutes if left blank. The minimum value allowed is five minutes.
Topic Select a topic from the list or enter the topic name.
Message schema source Select where your message schema is defined from either your common data models or your schema registry in Confluent Cloud. To retrieve schemas from your schema registry, you must configure your Confluent Cloud connection with your Stream Governance API credentials.
Message schema Select a message schema from your common data models or schema registry.
Initial offset Determine the initial offset. This value tells Workato how to handle the operation when there is no initial offset in Kafka or if the current offset no longer exists on the server.

This value defaults to Earliest.
