Delay Workflow with the Delay API

Delay the execution of your workflow for a specific amount of time (does not count against your compute time).

Overview of Switchboard#

The Switchboard API offers a platform to manage multi-platform data pipelines, enabling seamless data synchronization and transformation across diverse systems. With Pipedream, you can leverage the Switchboard API to create serverless workflows that automate data operations, reducing manual overhead and creating real-time, event-driven processes. These workflows can integrate with numerous apps available on Pipedream, making it possible to connect data sources, handle data in transit, and trigger actions based on custom logic.

Connect Switchboard#

import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
  props: {
    switchboard: {
      type: "app",
      app: "switchboard",
    }
  },
  async run({steps, $}) {
    return await axios($, {
      url: `https://api.canvas.switchboard.ai/templates`,
      headers: {
        "X-API-Key": `${this.switchboard.$auth.api_key}`,
        "Content-Type": `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)
  },
})
