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 ConvertAPI#

ConvertAPI is a powerhouse for online file conversion, enabling you to transform files from one format to another effortlessly. It supports a plethora of file types, from common ones like PDFs and DOCs to more obscure formats. With ConvertAPI on Pipedream, you can automate file conversion tasks, seamlessly integrating them into workflows that trigger on events from other apps or schedules. Imagine converting incoming email attachments, processing uploaded documents, or archiving files in a different format—all happening automatically, in the background.

Connect ConvertAPI#

import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
  props: {
    convertapi: {
      type: "app",
      app: "convertapi",
    }
  },
  async run({steps, $}) {
    return await axios($, {
      url: `https://v2.convertapi.com/user`,
      params: {
        Secret: `${this.convertapi.$auth.api_secret}`,
      },
    })
  },
})

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)
  },
})
