Integrate the Customer.io API with the Delay API

Customer.io is a versatile automation tool that allows you to harness the power of email, SMS, and push notifications to create personalized customer experiences. With its comprehensive API, Customer.io enables you to track customer interactions, segment audiences, and trigger targeted communications based on user behavior and data. By leveraging Pipedream, you can easily connect Customer.io to various other services and APIs to automate complex workflows, synthesize data, and respond to events in real-time.

Connect Customer.io#

import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
  props: {
    customer_io: {
      type: "app",
      app: "customer_io",
    }
  },
  async run({steps, $}) {
    return await axios($, {
      url: `https://track.customer.io/api/v1/accounts/region`,
      auth: {
        username: `${this.customer_io.$auth.site_id}`,
        password: `${this.customer_io.$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)
  },
})
