Tips to Speed Up Enrichment Processes and Reduce Wait Times

Anything I can do to make my enrichments run faster? No matter what I'm running - claygent, lookup rows, write to tables, or API calls - I spend more time waiting for things to load than I do working on it. I'm talking like 10+ minutes to run any column for 100 rows

To speed up your enrichments for 100 rows, try these strategies: 1. Test with a small sample first: Start by running the enrichment on 10 rows to identify and fix any errors before processing the full dataset. 2. Break data into smaller batches: Instead of processing all 100 rows at once, try running smaller batches of about 50 rows at a time. 3. Use specific run options: • Run first 10 columns • Run all rows that haven't run or have errors • Run starting from a specific row 4. Check your API limits: Ensure you're not hitting rate limits, especially for third-party integrations like Anthropic. If you're still experiencing issues, you may want to request human assistance for more personalized troubleshooting.
