Overview of AfterShip#

The AfterShip API on Pipedream allows you to seamlessly track shipments across various carriers, get real-time updates, and manage delivery exceptions. It's a gold mine for automating post-purchase customer communication and optimizing logistics operations. By integrating with AfterShip, you can create workflows that trigger upon shipment status changes, delays, or successful deliveries, and connect these events with other apps to streamline your e-commerce processes.

Connect AfterShip#

import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
  props: {
    aftership: {
      type: "app",
      app: "aftership",
    }
  },
  async run({steps, $}) {
    return await axios($, {
      url: `https://api.aftership.com/commerce/v1/stores`,
      headers: {
        "Content-Type": `application/json`,
        "as-api-key": `${this.aftership.$auth.api_key}`,
      },
    })
  },
})

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)
  },
})
