Delay
Delay, pause, suspend, or have the execution of your workflow wait for as little as one millisecond, or as long as one year.
Integrate the Delay API with the Go API
Setup the Delay API trigger to run a workflow which integrates with the Go API. Pipedream's integration platform allows you to integrate Delay and Go remarkably fast. Free for developers.
Popular Delay and Go Actions#
Delay the execution of your workflow for a specific amount of time (does not count against your compute time).
Run any Go code and use any Go package available with a simple import. Refer to the Pipedream Go docs to learn more.
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)
},
})
Overview of Go#
You can execute custom Go scripts on-demand or in response to various triggers and integrate with thousands of apps supported by Pipedream. Writing with Go on Pipedream enables backend operations like data processing, automation, or invoking other APIs, all within the Pipedream ecosystem. By leveraging Go's performance and efficiency, you can design powerful and fast workflows to streamline complex tasks.
Connect Go#
package main
import (
"fmt"
pd "github.com/PipedreamHQ/pipedream-go"
)
func main() {
// Access previous step data using pd.Steps
fmt.Println(pd.Steps)
// Export data using pd.Export
data := make(map[string]interface{})
data["name"] = "Luke"
pd.Export("data", data)
}
