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.

Trigger Code#

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

export default {
  name: "Daily schedule",
  version: "0.0.1",
  key: "schedule-daily",
  type: "source",

  props: {
    schedule,
    cron: {

        "cron",
      ],
      default: {
        cron: "0 11 * * *",
      },
    },
  },
};

TickTick Overview#

The TickTick API lets you tap into a robust task management framework from Pipedream. If you've ever wanted to streamline your to-do list or automate routine task management, this is your gateway. Use the API to create tasks, retrieve task details, update task status, and more. Automating your TickTick tasks can free up time, ensuring important items never slip through the cracks.

Action Authentication#

TickTick uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your TickTick account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into TickTick and grant Pipedream permission to connect to your account. Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any TickTick API.

Pipedream requests the following authorization scopes when you connect your account:
