Schedule Overview#

The Schedule app in Pipedream is a powerful tool that allows you to trigger workflows at regular intervals, ranging from every minute to once a year. This enables the automation of repetitive tasks and the scheduling of actions to occur without manual intervention. By leveraging this API, you can execute code, run integrations, and process data on a reliable schedule, all within Pipedream's serverless environment.

import schedule from "../../schedule.app.mjs";

export default {
  name: "Weekly schedule",

Nimble Overview#

The Nimble API enables you to manage contacts, deals, activities, and more within your Nimble CRM. With Pipedream's serverless platform, you can create workflows that trigger on events in Nimble or other apps, process data, and perform actions back in Nimble or across various other services. By utilizing Pipedream's capabilities, you can automate tasks such as syncing contacts to other platforms, triggering custom actions based on deal updates, or aggregating customer interactions for analysis.
