Workflow Throttling

Throttle actions to prevent overwhelming your systems or team. When throttled, multiple workflow triggers within a time period are batched together and the action runs once per interval.

How Throttling Works

For example, if you set a throttle of 1 hour and 10 issues trigger the workflow within that hour, the action runs once with all 10 issues batched together.

Throttle intervals can be set in minutes, hours, or days.

Use Cases

Throttling is useful when:

  • You want to batch notifications instead of sending individual messages for each event
  • You need to limit the rate of API calls to external systems
  • You want to reduce noise from frequent events
