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 PostgreSQL API
Setup the Delay API trigger to run a workflow which integrates with the PostgreSQL API. Pipedream's integration platform allows you to integrate Delay and PostgreSQL remarkably fast. Free for developers.

Emit new event when a new row is added to a table. See the documentation
Emit new event when new rows are returned from a custom query that you provide. See the documentation
Emit new event when a new table is added to the database. See the documentation
Popular Delay and PostgreSQL Actions#
Delay the execution of your workflow for a specific amount of time (does not count against your compute time).
Finds a row in a table via a custom query. See the documentation
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 PostgreSQL#
On Pipedream, you can leverage the PostgreSQL app to create workflows that automate database operations, synchronize data across platforms, and react to database events in real-time. Think handling new row entries, updating records from webhooks, or even compiling reports on a set schedule. Pipedream's serverless platform provides a powerful way to connect PostgreSQL with a variety of apps, enabling you to create tailored automation that fits your specific needs.
Connect PostgreSQL#
import postgresql from "@pipedream/postgresql"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
postgresql,
},
async run({ steps, $ }) {
// Component source code:
// https://github.com/PipedreamHQ/pipedream/tree/master/components/postgresql
const queryObj = {
text: "SELECT NOW()",
values: [], // Ignored since query does not contain placeholders
};
return await this.postgresql.executeQuery(queryObj);
},
