Integrate the Plaid API with the Delay API
Setup the Plaid API trigger to run a workflow which integrates with the Delay API. Pipedream's integration platform allows you to integrate Plaid and Delay remarkably fast. Free for developers.
Popular Plaid and Delay Actions#
Delay the execution of your workflow for a specific amount of time (does not count against your compute time).
Overview of Plaid#
The Plaid API offers a multitude of financial data operations, enabling developers to manage and interact with user bank accounts, transactions, identity info, and more, all within a secure and compliant ecosystem. Integrating Plaid with Pipedream can unlock powerful automations, like syncing transaction data to accounting software, verifying user identities for KYC compliance, and automating financial alerts or reporting.
Connect Plaid#
module.exports = defineComponent({
props: {
plaid: {
type: "app",
app: "plaid",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
const { Configuration, PlaidApi } = require('plaid');
const client = new PlaidApi(
new Configuration({
basePath: this.plaid.$auth.environment,
baseOptions: {
headers: {
'PLAID-CLIENT-ID': this.plaid.$auth.client_id,
'PLAID-SECRET': this.plaid.$auth.client_secret,
},
},
})
);
// Test request
const request = {
count: 10,
offset: 0,
country_codes: ['US'],
};
const response = await client.institutionsGet(request);
return response.data.institutions;
},
})
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)
},
})
