Overview of RudderStack HTTP#

The RudderStack HTTP API gives you the power to track and send events to RudderStack from anywhere you can make an HTTP request. With this API, you can streamline data from your apps, websites, and servers directly into RudderStack, enabling real-time analytics and insights. Using Pipedream, you can harness this capability to automate data collection and orchestration, syncing event data with other services, triggering actions based on customer behavior, or even enriching event data before it hits your data warehouse.

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)
  },
})
