Removing Existing Pollers

From the GitHub app details page, navigate to the Connections tab. Under Existing connections, look for any pollers. Any webhook connections continue to work properly without intervention and can be ignored for this upgrade.

If you do not have any existing pollers, you can follow the standard GitHub Poller configuration steps.
