# GitHub events

> GitHub connector events available via polling, including repository and branch activity, for long-running workflows in Automation Suite.

The connector supports the following events via polling:

| Event | Description |
| --- | --- |
| New Record Created | Triggers when a new record is created. Supported on the following objects: repos. |
| Existing Record Updated | Triggers when an existing record is updated. Supported on the following objects: repos. |

:::note
* For events on **Repos**,
events are notified as `eventType: updated` only if there are any commits on any of its branches in that repository and the name provided by the vendor will be set to `objectId`.
* By performing **Update** on
repos, you will not get an UPDATE event (for example, if you updated the repo name), unlike the standard polling.
* When a new repo is created, due
to the slight difference between `created_at` and `pushed_at` dates, updated events are also triggered.
:::

All events are automatically accessible under the **Wait for an Event and Resume** activity for your long-running workflows. For details, refer to [Long-running workflows with Integration Service activities](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/integration-service/long-running-workflows-with-integration-service-activities).

Event polling is performed every five minutes, by default. The polling interval is configurable. For details, refer to the [Triggers](https://docs.uipath.com/integration-service/automation-suite/2.2510/user-guide/triggers#triggers) documentation.
