with Esendex and Delay?
Delay the execution of your workflow for a specific amount of time (does not count against your compute time).
The Esendex API enables seamless SMS and voice messaging integration into your applications, allowing for automated communication with customers or systems. On Pipedream, you can harness this API to create serverless workflows that react to various triggers, from inbound messages to scheduled times, and interact with other services to provide a cohesive automation experience.
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
esendex: {
type: "app",
app: "esendex",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
return await axios($, {
url: `https://api.esendex.com/v1.0/accounts`,
auth: {
username: `${this.esendex.$auth.username}`,
password: `${this.esendex.$auth.api_password}`,
},
})
},
})
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.
export default defineComponent({
async run({steps, $}) {
// Specify the amount of time to delay your workflow in milliseconds
return $.flow.delay(5000)
},
})
