Queues
Process busy periods in a controlled way, without overload.
What is Queues?
With Queues, Slimbot neatly puts tasks in a queue and processes them at a controlled pace. So nothing gets stuck when it suddenly gets busy. Your processes remain stable, even at peak moments.
How does it work?
- Let a workflow place tasks in a queue instead of doing everything at once.
- Set how quickly the queue is processed.
- Slimbot processes the tasks one by one in the correct order.
- Track in the overview how much is still in the queue.
Use cases
Webshop: handle a peak in orders during a promotion in a controlled way.
Marketing: send a large mailing spread out instead of all at once.
Support: distribute incoming tickets fairly across team members.
Service provider: schedule requests in order of arrival.
Benefits
- No systems that freeze during sudden peaks.
- Tasks are handled in the correct order.
- Better overview: you see how much work is still in the queue.
- Prevents external integrations from becoming overloaded.
Frequently asked questions
Why would I put tasks in a queue instead of executing them immediately?
During busy times, doing everything at once can overload your systems or integrations. A queue spreads the work, so everything is processed neatly and reliably.
Can I see what's in the queue?
Yes. You have an overview of outstanding tasks and can see what has been processed and what is still waiting.
