Summary

Polls an Anytype space on the configured schedule and emits objects that are new to the trigger’s stored history. Choose whether to watch a list view for added objects or detect objects of a selected type, and enable Simplify to return flattened object data.

Inputs

  • Poll Times — One or more polling schedules. Supports minute, hour, day, week, month, every-X minutes or hours, and a custom cron expression.
  • Event (required) — Choose Object Added to List or Object Created of Type.
  • Space Name or ID (required) — Anytype space to poll; select a space or provide its ID.
  • Type Name or ID — Required for Object Created of Type. Select a type in the chosen space or provide its key.
  • List Name or ID — Required for Object Added to List. Select a list in the chosen space or provide its ID.
  • View Name or ID — Required for Object Added to List. Select the view whose objects are polled, usually “All,” or provide its ID.
  • Simplify — Defaults to true. When enabled, returns flattened objects with fields such as id, name, layout, type, and properties; when disabled, returns the raw object data.

Output shape

Zero or one batch of n8n items per poll, with one item per newly detected object.

The first poll seeds the trigger’s stored IDs and emits no objects. Later polls emit objects not previously seen by this trigger; if none are new, the poll returns no items. List polling fetches up to the first 100 objects in the selected view per poll. The trigger retains up to 1,000 seen IDs for each event’s tracking state.
