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 Data Stores#

With the Data Stores API, you can build applications that:

Store data for later retrieval
Retrieve data from a store
Update data in a store
Delete data from a store

Connect Data Stores#

export default defineComponent({
  props: {
    myDataStore: {
      type: "data_store",
    },
  },
  async run({ steps, $ }) {
    await this.myDataStore.set("key_here","Any serializable JSON as the value")
    return await this.myDataStore.get("key_here")
  },
})
