Node Execution Modes

Individual (per item) or Batch (all at once) — how it affects processing

What is Execution Mode?

Some nodes have an "Execution Mode" setting. It determines how the node processes input data — one element at a time or all together.

Two Modes

🔹 Individual (Per Item)

The node processes each item separately. If 10 elements arrive at the input, the node executes 10 times, once for each.

Example: Google Sheet Append in Individual mode — each row is added by a separate request to the Google API. 100 rows = 100 requests, and therefore 100 node executions.

🔸 Batch (All at once)

The node receives the entire array of elements at once and processes it in a single pass.

Example: Google Sheet Append in Batch mode — all 100 rows are added with one request. That's 1 request and only 1 node execution. Dozens of times faster.

When to choose which?

Criterion Individual Batch
Speed Slower ✅ Fast
Error Isolation ✅ One error does not affect others One error stops everything
API Request Count N requests ✅ 1 request
Log Detail Level ✅ Each element separately One general log

Recommendations for Specific Nodes

📊 Google Sheet Append

Recommended: Batch. One request instead of a hundred means fewer chances to hit the Google API Rate Limit.

🤖 AI GPT

Depends on the task. Individual — if each element requires unique processing. Batch — if you want to assemble all results into one block.

📱 Telegram Posting

Recommended: Individual. Each message is a separate post in the Telegram channel.

⚖️ Logic Condition

In Batch mode, it checks all elements, and if at least one meets the condition, the entire list goes down the positive branch.

📧 Email / SMS

Recommended: Individual. Each email/SMS is a separate message.

Which nodes support this mode?

Not all nodes have this setting. Usually, it is found in action nodes and processing nodes:

  • AI GPT ✅
  • AI Image (DALL-E) ✅
  • SEO Normalizer ✅
  • API ✅
  • Logic Condition ✅
  • Telegram Posting ✅
  • Google Sheet Append ✅
  • Gmail Send ✅
  • Email (SES) ✅
  • SMS ✅

Source nodes (RSS, Prom/Rozetka, etc.) do not have this mode — they always return a complete list.
