Overview#
The Cronfree API allows you to schedule tasks to run at specific intervals, similar to a traditional cron job, but with the flexibility of web-based management. On Pipedream, you can harness this API to trigger workflows on a schedule, offload periodic tasks from your apps, and integrate with other services to perform actions like sending emails, updating databases, or even automating social media posts.
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
cronfree: {
type: "app",
app: "cronfree",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
const data = {
"hookUrl": `{{your_hook_url}}`,
"license_key": `${this.cronfree.$auth.license_key}`,
"wdays": `{{your_wdays}}`,
"months": `{{your_months}}`,
"hours": `{{your_hours}}`,
"minutes": `{{your_minutes}}`,
"timezone": `{{your_timezone}}`,
}
return await axios($, {
method: "post",
url: `https://login.cronfree.com/zapier/schedule`,
headers: {
"Content-Type": `application/json`,
},
data,
})
},
})

Example Use Cases#
Scheduled Data Backup: Automate the process of backing up your database to a cloud storage service like Google Drive or Dropbox. Set up a Pipedream workflow that triggers on the schedule you set with Cronfree, executes a database dump, and uploads the resulting file to your chosen storage provider.
Automated Reporting: Create a Pipedream workflow that generates and sends daily, weekly, or monthly reports. Use the Cronfree API to schedule the workflow to pull data from your analytics service, compile it into a report format, and email it to the necessary stakeholders or save it to a shared location.
Social Media Automation: Schedule regular social media posts across platforms like Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram. With Cronfree and Pipedream, you can build workflows that post updates or promotional content at optimal times, helping to increase engagement without manual intervention.
