Overview
This workflow automates the process of sending HTTP requests in controlled batches to avoid rate limiting issues when interacting with external APIs. It is triggered manually and processes customer data efficiently.
Key Features
- Manual Trigger: Initiate the workflow on demand for flexible execution.
- Customer Datastore Integration: Retrieves customer records from a dedicated datastore node.
- Batch Processing: Utilizes a split-in-batches node to divide data into manageable chunks.
- HTTP Requests: Sends requests for each batch, ensuring compliance with API rate limits.
- Wait Mechanism: Introduces delays between batches to further mitigate rate limiting.
- Customizable Steps: Includes a placeholder node for future enhancements or replacements.
Benefits
- Prevents API Rate Limiting: Ensures reliable data transfer without exceeding external service limits.
- Time Savings: Automates repetitive tasks, reducing manual intervention and errors.
- Scalable: Easily adapts to varying data volumes and API constraints.
Use Cases
- Bulk updating customer records in third-party systems.
- Synchronizing large datasets with external platforms.
- Automating marketing or CRM data pushes while respecting API quotas.
Integrations & Processes
- Connects with customer datastores and external APIs via HTTP.
- Employs batching and wait logic for optimal throughput and compliance.
