Simple long polling with tRPC

I'm sending an email with a useMutation with MailJet. MailJet's API returns success, even when the email is queued, sending may still fail. They have another API to get the status of the email. I've created a backend function with Quirrel to keep hitting that API until i have a status that's not pending, and then put that status in my DB.

Now I want to long-poll my db in the useMutation's onSuccess to check the email status. In order to do that, i create a function in the onSuccess that invalidate's the whole collection's data every second until i get the status. I'd much rather just check the ID of the item with like a Get API repeated and then invalidate everything when it changes... is there a way to do that with tRPC?

Also, This sounds overly complex.
