Batch processing
Process thousands of rows in manageable portions.
What is Batch Processing?
With Batch Processing, Slimbot splits a large volume of data into smaller portions and processes them step by step. This way, large jobs run smoothly without overloading everything at once. Ideal for imports, mailings and periodic clean-ups.
How does it work?
- Choose the dataset or list you want to process.
- Set how large each batch may be.
- Slimbot processes the portions one after another, with breaks in between.
- Track progress until all batches are complete.
Use cases
Retail: import thousands of products or prices in batches.
Marketing: send a large newsletter spread throughout the day.
Accounting: process a complete export of invoices in one go.
Data cleansing: update a large customer list row by row.
Benefits
- Run large jobs without overloading your systems.
- Overview of progress, batch by batch.
- If something goes wrong, not everything stops immediately.
- Suitable for datasets that are too large to do in one go.
Frequently asked questions
What if something goes wrong halfway through a large import?
Because the work is done in batches, not everything stops immediately. The rest of the batches can continue and you see exactly which part needs to be redone.
How large may a dataset be?
Batch processing is designed precisely for large quantities. You determine the portion size yourself, so that even very large lists remain manageable.
