Delay Workflow with the Delay API

Delay the execution of your workflow for a specific amount of time (does not count against your compute time).

Overview of Beamer#

The Beamer API enables you to automate client communication and project management tasks. With Beamer, you can create notifications, announcements, and alerts that keep your team and clients updated on project status, milestones, and deadlines. When integrated with Pipedream, Beamer unleashes the power of serverless workflows to connect with myriad apps, allowing for sophisticated automations that can streamline communications, synchronize updates across platforms, and trigger actions based on specific events or conditions.

Connect Beamer#

import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
  props: {
    beamer: {
      type: "app",
      app: "beamer",
    }
  },
  async run({steps, $}) {
    return await axios($, {
      method: "post",
      url: `https://api.getbeamer.com/v0/ping`,
      headers: {
        "Beamer-Api-Key": `${this.beamer.$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)
  },
})
