If a have the intention to just take some connections together and not to make a system, that should be a good option.

Workflow option to run in sequence or parallel

Hi Felipe.

I don’t think I get all your idea 😆😆

It appears that you have multiple connections, each with a different running time.

But if one connection feeds another, it better stays in sequence, right?

Do you think the user should choose if the running will be in sequence or not?

Felipe

Karoline from Sheetgo
Yes…but in some cases, You don’t have dependencies between the connections…and you just wanna run them!

Felipe reminds me very much of this!

Hi all,

Let's say I have 5 connections inside my workflow.

Now I press to refresh connection 3, followed by 1.

Are they executed in parallel or does connection 1 wait until 3 finishes because I pressed 3 first?

Jake

I have just done some tests and to me it looks like they are running in parallel.

But it would be actually nice to trigger them in a sequence!

Is this possible?

Jake Is this possible?

This is an interesting thought! @Willian from Sheetgo maybe?

The connections inside a workflow run in sequence, top to bottom. So if you reorder them it should work. The need to run connections in a sequence was the reason we created workflows
.
The challenge is when there’s a lot of data and that data is being treated inside the spreadsheet via formulas, that sometimes takes more time. I do believe we have it in the roadmap to add a “delay” option between connections.

Here’s a good article about reordering connections.

Tony

Eugenia thanks. I think they only run in a sequence if you press the big run button but not if you start the connections individually.

Which is what I want because I don’t want to run the entire workflow.

Eugenia

Tony You are totally correct. In that case, I do assume they run in parallel. Which can probably cause some issues if they are interdependent.

Eugenia I do assume they run in parallel.

@Willian from Sheetgo can you confirm this?

Willian from Sheetgo

Support from Sheetgo If you hit “Run workflow”, the connections will run in sequence, from top to bottom.

By clicking individually each connection to run it, they will run in parallel.
