In the landscape of workflow automation, managing multiple simultaneous executions can be a daunting challenge. The Drip Action emerges as a powerful solution to regulate and control the progression of tasks within a workflow. What is Drip Action? Drip Action is a sophisticated tool used to manage the flow of steps in a workflow, ensuring that actions don't overwhelm the system by occurring all at once. By setting specific batch sizes and intervals, it allows for precise control over how contacts move through the workflow. How to Configure Drip Action Selecting Drip Action: Begin by choosing the "Drip" option from your workflow action settings. Batch Size: Determine how many executions will occur per batch. This can range from as few as one to as many as ten thousand per batch. Drip Interval: Set the time interval for each batch to process. You can choose intervals ranging from one minute up to seven days, depending on the needs of your workflow. Example in Practice To demonstrate the utility of the Drip Action, imagine a scenario where 10,000 contacts are entering a workflow, or perhaps 5,000 contacts are moving from one step to another. Instead of allowing all these contacts to progress simultaneously, which could overwhelm your system, you can employ Drip Action with the following setup: Batch Size: 50 contacts per batch Drip Interval: 10 minutes With this configuration, only 50 contacts will advance to the next step every 10 minutes, effectively controlling the workflow’s pace and preventing system overload.
