How to Count Task Executions in Flowbot and Data Connect

Written by Yoom Customer Service

📝 Overview

This guide explains how tasks are counted, how they impact your monthly usage, and when specific actions are considered task executions.


🔢 How Tasks are Counted

Flowbot

For Flowbots, tasks are counted based on the number of actions executed.

🔹 Example 1 - Standard Flow

In the following flow, the total task execution is 2.

(1 for each completed operation)

🔹 Example 2 - Loop Process Flow

In Flowbots that use loops (e.g., processing a list of multiple values), each repetition counts as a separate task execution.

If 10 messages are sent to a Slack channel in the following flow, the total task execution will be 32.

Retrieve 10 records from the database in a single execution.

 Task count: 1

Loop through the 10 records, processing each one individually.

 Task count: 11 (10 executions + 1 additional execution to check for remaining data)

Extract one record at a time to continue the flow.

 Each extraction counts as 1 task, repeated 10 times in the loop.

 Total task count: 10

Insert the extracted record into a message and send it to a Slack channel.

 Each message counts as 1 task, repeated 10 times in the loop.

 Total task count: 10

In total, 32 tasks are consumed.

💡 Note:

  • Triggers are NOT counted as tasks.

  • Failed operations are not counted—unless the error occurs on the first operation.

  • Test executions within the operation settings page do NOT count as tasks.

  • Some AI-related actions (like text generation) may consume additional tasks based on the volume of data processed.

Data Connect

When using Data Connect to update databases:

  • Every 100 records added or updated = 1 task execution.

  • If fewer than 100 records are updated, it still counts as 1 task execution.

🔹 Example

Records Processed

Task Executions Counted

50 records

1 task

100 records

1 task

250 records

3 tasks

1,011 records

11 tasks

💡 Additional Rules:

  • ✅ Only updates to display fields in the database are counted.

  • ❌ Updates to non-display fields are NOT counted.


📊 Monitoring Your Usage

You can easily track how many tasks you have used to make sure your workflows keep running smoothly.

Current Usage

You can see your task count for the current month at the bottom left of your Yoom dashboard.

Past Usage

For paid plans, go to "Settings" > "Plan & Payment" > "Payment History". You can check the number of tasks used on your previous invoices.

Limits

If you reach your plan's task limit, your Flowbots will stop running until the count resets or additional tasks are purchased. You will receive an alert before this happens.
