The Blink API allows you to access and manage data within the Blink platform, a hub for team communication and content sharing. Through Pipedream, you can automate workflows that leverage this API to streamline notifications, content distribution, and team interactions. You can create actions that respond to specific triggers, like new messages or updates to content, and connect Blink with other apps to enrich the functionality of your workflows.

Connect Blink#

import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
  props: {
    blink: {
      type: "app",
      app: "blink",
    }
  },
  async run({steps, $}) {
    return await axios($, {
      url: `https://api.joinblink.com/v2/user`,
      headers: {
        Authorization: `Bearer ${this.blink.$auth.token}`,
        "Accept": `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)
  },
})
