Guidelines and Limits for Automations

You can configure automations based on your requirements using the Data 360 actions. When planning an automation, make sure to review the guidelines and limits. Throttling limits the maximum number of API requests triggered within a specified time period.

Required Editions

Available in: Lightning Experience
Item Throttling Limit
Data ingestion (Salesforce CRM and Amazon S3 data streams) 4 times in a 24-hour period per data stream
Calculated insights 3 times in a 24-hour period per calculated insight
Identity resolution 4 times in a 24-hour period per ruleset job
Segmentation and activation 6 times in a 24-hour period per segment

The API requests are triggered from a flow, a schedule, and manually from the UI by clicking Run. You can disable schedule (if available) for an action to avoid triggering API requests multiple times.
