> On average, 98.5% of polls are wasted

Erm. Is there a source for that?

A bit further down the page, they cite Zapier

"Over a representative time period, Zapier polled for changes 30 million times but only took action on 460,000 of those polls (1.5% efficient)."

It's a Zapier project, so they're citing themselves.

Ah, I must've missed that. Thanks!
