# Zapier “Pull” vs. “Push” Triggers: Timing & Behavior

## How Zapier handles data synchronization (“pull” vs. “push” triggers), and what timing you can expect when using different types of triggers.

#### **Does Zapier Pull Data Immediately?**

When pulling leads from HubSpot or other CRMs, users often wonder if Zapier updates instantly or if there’s a delay. The answer depends on the **type of trigger** you’ve selected in Zapier.

#### **Types of Triggers in Zapier**

Zapier supports two main trigger types:

| Trigger Type | Description | Timing |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Instant Trigger** | Fires as soon as the event occurs. | Immediately |
| **Polling Trigger** | Zapier checks for new data at set intervals. | Every 5–15 minutes\* |

\* Interval depends on your Zapier subscription plan.

 

#### Example Scenarios

### 1. Instant Trigger (Push)

- **Use Case:** HubSpot → New Contact in List.
- **Behavior:** As soon as a new contact is added to the list, Zapier immediately triggers the action.

**Screenshot Example:**

- *Trigger:* New Contact in List (HubSpot)
- *Action:* Add blacklisted user email in Anybiz
