📝 Overview
This guide explains how task executions are counted in Flowbot and Data Connect, how they impact your monthly usage, and when specific actions are considered task executions.
🔢 What Counts as a Task Execution?
Feature | Action Counted as Task Execution |
Flowbot | When operations and operations commands (excludes triggers) are run. |
Data Connect | For every 100 records added or updated in the database. |
🤖 Task Executions in Flowbot
Every execution of operations or operation commands (excluding triggers) is counted as one task execution.
🔹 Example 1 - Standard Flow
In the following flow, the total task execution is 2.
(1 for each completed operation)
🔹 Example 2 - Repetitive 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 Slack channel in the following flow, the total task execution will be 32.
① Retrieve 10 records from the database in a single execution.
Task count: 1
② Loop through the 10 records, processing each one individually.
Task count: 11 (10 executions + 1 additional execution to check for remaining data)
③ 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
④ 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.
🤝 Task Executions in 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.
