What is Pipedream?

Pipedream is an integration platform built for developers, in beta. A user recently called the service, "the fastest way to run code on a schedule."

Quickstart

2. Then, click the Run Now button in the Workflow tab to run the cron job manually:
3. You should receive an email titled "Hello world". You'll see the logs and execution details of the workflow under each step.

Basic Concepts

With Pipedream, you build workflows, which are just a sequence of linear steps. These steps let you run any Node.js code or use pre-built actions to connect to various apps and services. You trigger workflows via HTTP requests, email, or run them as cron jobs

• You can use any npm package just by requireing it.
• Standard output produced from steps is displayed directly below the step.
• You can return or "export" data from steps and use it in other steps. Steps are just functions, run synchronously and sequentially.
• You can use actions to perform common operations and run code against various APIs.

Run your own cron job

You can modify this workflow however you'd like. Once you fork it, it's yours. You can also create a new workflow from scratch. Watch this 1 minute video to learn how:
