Integrate the Paystack API with the Delay API

Paystack is a payment gateway that allows businesses to accept payments online from customers. With the Paystack API, you can automate invoicing, verify transactions, manage customers, and more. On Pipedream, you can integrate Paystack with a multitude of other apps to build powerful workflows, such as syncing payment data with accounting software, triggering events based on transaction status, or automating customer outreach.

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)
  },
})
