Batch Processing Node Overview

The Batch Processing node extends workflow capabilities through automation, enabling FastGPT to handle batch tasks and complex data processing pipelines. It significantly improves efficiency when processing large-scale data or scenarios requiring multiple iterations.

Primary Use Case Categories

The Batch Processing node is optimized for three core categories of workflow tasks:

Batch Data Processing

This category supports scalable automated processing of uniform data items:

  • Batch text translation
  • Batch document summarization
  • Batch content generation

Data Pipeline Processing

For workflows that require individual handling of structured result sets:

  • Analyzing search results one by one
  • Processing Dataset retrieval results individually
  • Processing array data from HTTP responses item by item

Recursive or Iterative Tasks

For workflows needing repeated content processing or chained data transformations:

  • Long text segmented processing
  • Multi-round content refinement
  • Chained data processing

Standard Implementation Workflow

When deploying the Batch Processing node for its intended use cases, follow this structured workflow:

  1. Add the Batch Processing node to your FastGPT workflow canvas
  2. Route a structured array input to the node, which may include dataset retrieval results, HTTP response arrays, or pre-defined text batches
  3. Connect a dedicated processing sub-workflow to the node’s input port, configured to handle each individual item from the input array
  4. Aggregate the output generated by the sub-workflow for each item into a final output array from the Batch Processing node

Applicability and version scope

Use this page for the documented Workflow nodes scenario. Confirm the FastGPT, dependency, API, and deployment versions in the official source before applying a change.

Safety guardrails

Use [REDACTED_CREDENTIAL] for credentials and private data. Confirm the documented environment and version before review.

Rollback guidance

Restore the prior technical-content authority snapshot. Restore saved configuration and data snapshots, then repeat the smallest verification scenario.
