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 Philips Hue#

The Philips Hue API offers rich control over Philips Hue smart lighting systems. Via Pipedream, you can automate your lighting based on various triggers – think syncing lights with the sun's cycle, changing color to indicate new emails, or even integrating with motion sensors for a smart-home experience. With Pipedream's capabilities to connect to countless services, the possibilities of creating personalized lighting scenarios are vast, limited only by your imagination and the availability of triggers or events from other services and devices.

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)
  },
})
