Delay Workflow with the Delay API

Delay the execution of your workflow for a specific amount of time (does not count against your compute time).

Overview of PDFMonkey#

The PDFMonkey API on Pipedream allows you to automate the creation of PDF documents from dynamic data sources. You can generate invoices, reports, tickets, or any customized document based on templates you define. With Pipedream’s serverless platform, you can trigger PDF generation from a multitude of events, such as form submissions, scheduled times, or changes in a database, and then perform actions like sending these PDFs via email, storing them in cloud storage, or updating records in a CRM.

Connect PDFMonkey#

import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
  props: {
    pdfmonkey: {
      type: "app",
      app: "pdfmonkey",
    }
  },
  async run({steps, $}) {
    return await axios($, {
      url: `https://api.pdfmonkey.io/api/v1/current_user`,
      headers: {
        Authorization: `Bearer ${this.pdfmonkey.$auth.api_key}`,
      },
    })
  },
})

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)
  },
})
