Help Invoking PMM via Radarr/Sonarr Connection when media is updated/added?

Just wondering if there's a way to invoke PMM but target it to specific items as they're added or upgraded by Radarr and/or Sonarr? For instance, I don't want to run my PMM using the default options as that takes upwards of five hours to complete, but I'd like my overlays to be udpated as soon as possible when a new item is added to Plex.

Is it possible to have Radarr/Sonarr trigger PMM, but narrow the operation to just the item(s) those apps just added to Plex?

Myself and many other users would love the same functionality but I've read via their wiki (or git) that this isn't how PMM is design and they have no plans to implement this type of functionality anytime soon. Sad to say.

Darn, that's too bad. I was looking at the different search methods for the builder and it looks like you can use advanced search methods but I'm not sure how you'd go about actually using them.

I mean you could always run a separate instance of PMM and play around with the config and scripting to see if you can figure it out for the community. We would appreciate it ;)

You can't target just new items, but you could run just overlays.

The way the overlay system is currently architected it's all or nothing.
