Bash
Run any Bash in a Pipedream step within your workflow, including making curl requests.
Integrate the Bash API with the Delay API
Setup the Bash API trigger to run a workflow which integrates with the Delay API. Pipedream's integration platform allows you to integrate Bash and Delay remarkably fast. Free for developers.

# $PIPEDREAM_STEPS file contains data from previous steps
cat $PIPEDREAM_STEPS | jq .trigger.context.id
# Write data to $PIPEDREAM_EXPORTS to return it from the step
# Exports must be written as key=value
echo foo=bar >> $PIPEDREAM_EXPORTS
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.
