Overview of Heap#

The Heap API enables you to automate and integrate your user analytics data with other applications. With Heap, you can extract insights on how users interact with your product, track events without code, and funnel this data into your CRM, marketing tools, or custom dashboards. It's about connecting the dots between user actions and your strategic moves. Heap's API lets you push or pull data, so you're always up-to-date on user behavior and can personalize user experiences at scale.

Connect Heap#

import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
  props: {
    heap: {
      type: "app",
      app: "heap",
    }
  },
  async run({steps, $}) {
    // From the docs: https://docs.heap.io/reference#track-1
    // "Requests are limited to 30 requests per 30 seconds per identity per app_id"
    return await axios($, {
      method: "POST",
      url: `https://heapanalytics.com/api/track`,
      headers: {
        "Content-Type": "application/json",
      },
      data: {
        app_id: this.heap.$auth.app_id,
        identity: params.identity,
        event: params.event,
        timestamp: params.timestamp || (new Date()).toISOString(),
        properties: params.properties,

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)
  },
})
