Delay
Delay the execution of any part of your workflow for as little as one millisecond, or as long as one year.
Integrate the Delay API with the Airtable API
Setup the Delay API trigger to run a workflow which integrates with the Airtable API. Pipedream's integration platform allows you to integrate Delay and Airtable remarkably fast. Free for developers.
Popular Delay and Airtable Triggers#
Emit an event for each new or modified record in a table
Emit an event for each new or modified record in a view
Emits an event each time a record is added, updated, or deleted in an Airtable table. Supports tables up to 10,000 records
Popular Delay and Airtable Actions#
Delay the execution of your workflow for a specific amount of time (does not count against your compute time).
Create one or more records in a table by passing an array of objects containing field names and values as key/value pairs.
Retrieve records from a table with automatic pagination. Optionally sort and filter results.
Retrieve records in a view with automatic pagination. Optionally sort and filter results.
Overview of Delay#
The Delay API allows you to build workflows that wait a specified amount of
time before continuing. This can be useful for rate-limiting actions, or
waiting for an external event to occur.
Here are some examples of what you can build using the Delay API:
- A workflow that sends a Slack message after a specified amount of time
- A workflow that checks for new data from an external API every hour
- A workflow that backs up a file to Dropbox every day
Connect Delay#
export default defineComponent({
async run({steps, $}) {
// Specify the amount of time to delay your workflow in milliseconds
return $.flow.delay(5000)
},
})
Overview of Airtable#
Using the Airtable API, you can build applications that can:
- Create and manage databases
- Add, update, and delete records
- Search for records
- Sort and filter records
- Display records in a variety of ways
- Import and export data
Connect Airtable#
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
airtable: {
type: "app",
app: "airtable",
},
baseId: {
type: "$.airtable.baseId",
appProp: "airtable",
},
tableId: {
type: "$.airtable.tableId",
baseIdProp: "baseId",
},
},
async run({steps, $}) {
return await axios($, {
url: `https://api.airtable.com/v0/${this.baseId}/${this.tableId}`,
headers: {
Authorization: `Bearer ${this.airtable.$auth.api_key}`,
"accept": `application/json`,
},
})
}
})
