Overview of PingBell#

The PingBell API is a versatile tool for automating interactions with your physical PingBell device. Pipedream, a serverless integration and compute platform, helps you build workflows around the PingBell API with ease. You can craft automations that trigger when someone rings your PingBell, check the device's battery level, and much more, all within Pipedream's simplified workflow environment. By using Pipedream's capabilities, you can integrate with various apps, send notifications through different channels, log data, and implement complex logic to respond to PingBell events.

Connect PingBell#

import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
  props: {
    pingbell: {
      type: "app",
      app: "pingbell",
    }
  },
  async run({steps, $}) {
    return await axios($, {
      url: `https://app.pingbell.io/userPingbells`,
      params: {
        api_key: `${this.pingbell.$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)
  },
})
