Overview of TinyURL#

The TinyURL API lets you shorten URLs seamlessly, which can be particularly useful when dealing with lengthy or complex web addresses. With Pipedream, you can integrate the TinyURL API to create concise, manageable links that can be easily shared, tracked, or embedded in various digital content. Beyond simple URL shortening, using Pipedream's serverless platform enables you to automate workflows that involve generating, distributing, and monitoring TinyURLs in conjunction with other apps and services.

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.

export default defineComponent({
  async run({steps, $}) {
    // Specify the amount of time to delay your workflow in milliseconds
    return $.flow.delay(5000)
  },
