Overview of RescueTime#
The RescueTime API provides access to detailed data about how you spend your time on digital devices, including time spent on apps and websites. With this API on Pipedream, you can create custom workflows that trigger actions based on your productivity data. For instance, you can set up alerts for excessive social media usage or automate weekly productivity reports. Pipedream's platform enables these automations by connecting RescueTime to hundreds of other apps, allowing for intricate workflows that can enhance personal productivity and time management.
Connect RescueTime#
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
rescuetime: {
type: "app",
app: "rescuetime",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
return await axios($, {

},
})
},
})
Overview of Filter#
The Filter API in Pipedream allows for real-time data processing within workflows. It's designed to evaluate data against predefined conditions, enabling workflows to branch or perform specific actions based on those conditions. This API is instrumental in creating efficient, targeted automations that respond dynamically to diverse datasets. Using the Filter API, you can refine streams of data, ensuring that subsequent steps in your Pipedream workflow only execute when the data meets your specified criteria. This cuts down on unnecessary processing and facilitates the creation of more intelligent, context-aware systems.
Connect Filter#
export default defineComponent({
async run({ steps, $ }) {
let condition = false
if (condition == false) {
$.flow.exit("Ending workflow early because the condition is false")
} else {
$.export("$summary", "Continuing workflow, since condition for ending was not met.")
}
},
})
