Modern business telephony for the cloud
Delay the execution of your workflow for a specific amount of time (does not count against your compute time).
The Placetel API lets you integrate a variety of telephony functions directly into Pipedream workflows. By connecting Placetel to Pipedream, you can automate processes like sending SMS messages, managing calls, or updating contact information programmatically. Pipedream's serverless platform enables these integrations to run on triggers such as incoming webhooks, scheduled times, or actions from other apps, orchestrating complex tasks in a simplified manner.
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
placetel: {
type: "app",
app: "placetel",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
return await axios($, {
url: `https://api.placetel.de/v2/me`,
headers: {
Authorization: `Bearer ${this.placetel.$auth.api_key}`,
"content-type": `application/json`,
},
})
},
})
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)
},
})
