Data Flow Priority
Sometimes you will have flows that need to take priority over other data flows. For example, you may have a flow that exports orders from an e-commerce site to an ERP and you have one that updates the inventory on the site from the ERP. Depending on activity from the day, the inventory flow might take an hour or longer when the order data flow should take priority.
I believe that Celigo should develop a system in which there is a priority set to the data flows that will pause lower-priority data flow for higher-priority flows.

Rick Eltzroth We offer the ability to make multiple connections to the same app, and each connection acts as a queue. Therefore, in your example, you could have your high priority order flow be the sole user of a given connection, and have your lower priority flows share a different connection. This should give you exactly the outcome you're looking for.
See our docs for more (eg: https://docs.celigo.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360076606692-FAQ-How-can-I-manage-jobs-that-are-creating-a-bottleneck-in-the-queue)
PS: there is no licensing impact (or cost) for having multiple connections to the same app.
Tim Heeter,
Can I get a vote?
Rick Eltzroth, thanks for sharing your idea! I've passed it along to the product team for consideration.
Much appreciated, Anitha Abraham.
Matt Graney,
Thank you for the suggestion. I will give it a shot.
I would wonder if this would cause any concurrency issues with NetSuite. We have three SuiteCloud Plus licenses so I am not worried about us.
