Visually track, manage and automate your business processes.
Delay the execution of your workflow for a specific amount of time (does not count against your compute time).
ProcessPlan is a process management tool with an API that lets you automate and track workflows. On Pipedream, you can use this API to create intricate automations, which can involve triggering workflows in ProcessPlan, updating tasks, pulling data from process templates, or integrating with other services to streamline operations.
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
processplan: {
type: "app",
app: "processplan",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
return await axios($, {
url: `https://${this.processplan.$auth.regional_subdomain}.processplan.com/api/v4/user/me/personal_instance_task/list/pending/count`,
headers: {
"tkn_id": `${this.processplan.$auth.api_token}`,
},
})
},
})
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)
},
})
