Accounting software for small businesses
Delay the execution of your workflow for a specific amount of time (does not count against your compute time).
FreeAgent, a powerful accounting tool, offers an API enabling businesses to automate various aspects of financial management. With the FreeAgent API, you can create, read, update, and delete invoices, bills, expenses, and much more, directly through Pipedream. This allows for the creation of custom automations that can save time, reduce errors, and streamline financial operations.
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
freeagent: {
type: "app",
app: "freeagent",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
return await axios($, {
url: `https://api.freeagent.com/v2/users/me`,
headers: {
Authorization: `Bearer ${this.freeagent.$auth.oauth_access_token}`,
},
})
},
})
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)
},
})
