A communications platform building a world where talking with a business is as easy and natural as talking to a friend.
Delay the execution of your workflow for a specific amount of time (does not count against your compute time).
The MessageBird API on Pipedream allows you to automate communications by sending messages, making voice calls, and verifying phone numbers. With Pipedream's serverless platform, you can trigger workflows that integrate MessageBird with hundreds of other apps to engage customers, streamline notifications, and improve verification processes. Create custom alert systems, chatbots, or multi-factor authentication (MFA) mechanisms by leveraging the API's capabilities within Pipedream's seamless integration environment.
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
messagebird: {
type: "app",
app: "messagebird",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
return await axios($, {
url: `https://rest.messagebird.com/balance`,
headers: {
"Authorization": `AccessKey ${this.messagebird.$auth.api_key}`,
},
})
},
})
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)
},
})
