What Is Batch Processing?

Batch processing in the context of lead enrichment refers to the ability to enrich hundreds or thousands of contact records in a single operation, rather than processing them one at a time. This is essential for teams that need to enrich large lead lists, re-validate existing databases, or process bulk imports.

The batch processing workflow typically involves: uploading a CSV file with lead data, mapping columns to enrichment fields, configuring which enrichment operations to perform, starting the batch job, and monitoring progress in real-time until completion.

Enrichabl provides robust batch processing with real-time progress tracking, parallel execution across multiple records, and automatic error handling. Teams can import CSVs with thousands of rows and have them fully enriched - including email finding, validation, AI enrichment, and web scraping - in a fraction of the time it would take to process records individually.

Key batch processing features to look for in an enrichment platform include: parallel execution (processing multiple records simultaneously), progress tracking (real-time status updates), error recovery (handling individual failures without stopping the batch), and export capabilities (downloading enriched results in multiple formats).
