Set up extraction frequency

Define how often Workato extracts data from your source systems. Workato supports the following methods for data processing:

• Batch

• Extracts and processes data in groups of multiple records or rows. You can use batch processing to move large volumes of data efficiently during scheduled transfers.

• Bulk

• Extracts larger datasets than batch processing, maximizing throughput and efficiency. You can use bulk processing for full data loads or large-scale migrations.

• Real-time

• Extracts and processes data immediately as it becomes available. You can use real-time extraction when you need instant data access, such as for monitoring, alerting, or live dashboards.

• Micro-batch/polling

• Checks for new data at regular intervals and processes small sets of records. You can use micro-batch or polling to balance timely data updates with reduced system load.
