IBM® Unica® Marketing Operations sends event-triggered alerts almost immediately. When the event occurs (such as a user submits an approval request),
Marketing Operations adds it to a queue. At a specified interval,
Marketing Operations picks these events off a queue and sends out alerts. You can control this polling interval using the parameter under
Settings > Configuration > Marketing Operations > umoConfiguration > notifications called
notifyEventMonitorPollPeriod. By default, this option is 33 seconds. That means every half-minute,
Marketing Operations picks up the events that occurred in that last half-minute and sends out alerts.
