Overview of Action Builder#

The Action Builder API on Pipedream paves the way for crafting bespoke serverless workflows tailored to specific automation needs. Essentially, it's a playground for developers to create custom actions, integrate with a myriad of services, and automate tasks that were once manual and time-consuming. The API allows you to design, execute, and orchestrate actions that trigger on specific events or schedules, manipulate data with inbuilt functions, and connect disparate systems with ease, fostering a seamless data flow and enhanced productivity.

Connect Action Builder#

import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
  props: {
    action_builder: {
      type: "app",
      app: "action_builder",
    }
  },
  async run({steps, $}) {
    return await axios($, {
      url: `https://${this.action_builder.$auth.organization}.actionbuilder.org/api/rest/v1/campaigns`,
      headers: {
        "Content-Type": `application/json`,

    })
  },

Overview of Delay#

The Delay API in Pipedream is a built-in function that allows you to pause a workflow for a specified amount of time. This can be incredibly useful when you need to stagger API calls to avoid rate limits, wait for an external process to complete, or simply introduce a delay between actions in a sequence. With precision up to milliseconds, the Delay API provides a simple yet powerful tool for managing timing in automation workflows.

Connect Delay#

export default defineComponent({
  async run({steps, $}) {
    // Specify the amount of time to delay your workflow in milliseconds
    return $.flow.delay(5000)
  },
})
