# Using the new batch of messages trigger

The new message batch trigger enables you to poll batches of new messages from a specific topic in Workato. The trigger picks up all messages published to that topic in a single batch, at the specified time interval. See Batch triggers for more information.

In addition to selecting the topic, you can specify both the batch size (up to 100), and the polling interval (between 5 minutes and 30 days).
