Retool
Build internal tools, remarkably fast.
Integrate the Retool API with the Delay API
Setup the Retool API trigger to run a workflow which integrates with the Delay API. Pipedream's integration platform allows you to integrate Retool and Delay remarkably fast. Free for developers.
Popular Retool and Delay Actions#
Delay the execution of your workflow for a specific amount of time (does not count against your compute time).
Overview of Retool#
Retool is a platform that makes it faster to build internal tools with a drag-and-drop interface. The Retool API allows you to programmatically manage various aspects of your Retool applications, such as triggering queries, updating apps, or retrieving data from your custom tools. In Pipedream, you can utilize this API to automate workflows between Retool and other apps, creating powerful integrations that streamline your internal processes.
Connect Retool#
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
retool: {
type: "app",
app: "retool",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
return await axios($, {
url: `https://api.retool.com/api/v1/resources`,
headers: {
Authorization: `Bearer ${this.retool.$auth.access_token}`,
"Accept": `application/json`,
},
})
},
})
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)
},
})
