How Can I Prevent Timeouts During the Day When Using ChatGPT in My Workflow?

This topic was automatically generated from Slack. You can find the original thread here.

Is there anyone that can help me with my workflow. I keep getting timeouts during the day when using ChatGPT. I’ve increased the timeout to 375 but the workflows still timeout.

Any ideas?

I’m sorry to hear that you’re experiencing timeouts with your workflow. First, please make sure that you’ve correctly set the execution timeout limit in your workflow settings as mentioned in the Execution Controls documentation. If you’ve already done that and are still experiencing timeouts, it might be due to external factors like API rate limits or network issues. In such cases, you could consider adding error handling and retry logic in your workflow code. If you’re still facing issues, I’d recommend reaching out to the Pipedream support team for further assistance. You can contact them at https://pipedream.com/support.

Please send me the link for the Execution Controls documentation.

Sure, here’s the link to the Execution Controls documentation: Overview

@U02A06JPKEH the link for the Execution Controls doucmentation is a 404 error. File not found.

Apologies for the incorrect link earlier. The correct link for Execution Controls documentation is: Overview

I would like to add a step to my workflow. I would like to see how much time and memory my workflow is taking and have it send to me via Slack.

To add a step to your workflow that measures the time and memory usage and sends the information to you via Slack, you can use the following code snippet as a custom code step: import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"; export default defineComponent({ props: { slackBotToken: { type: "string", label: "Slack Bot Token", secret: true, }, slackChannel: { type: "string", label: "Slack Channel ID", }, }, async run({ steps, $ }) { const startTime = process.hrtime(); const startMemory = process.memoryUsage().rss; // Add your workflow steps here const endTime = process.hrtime(startTime); const endMemory = process.memoryUsage().rss; const elapsedTime = endTime[0] + endTime[1] / 1e9; const memoryUsage = (endMemory - startMemory) / (1024 * 1024); const message = `Workflow execution time: ${elapsedTime.toFixed(2)} seconds\nMemory usage: ${memoryUsage.toFixed(2)} MB`; await axios($, { method: "POST", url: "https://slack.com/api/chat.postMessage", headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${this.slackBotToken}`, }, data: { channel: this.slackChannel, text: message, }, }); }, }); Replace slackBotToken and slackChannel with your Slack bot token and channel ID, respectively. Add your workflow steps in the designated comment area. This code will measure the time and memory usage of your workflow and send the information to the specified Slack channel.

Where would I find my SlackBotToken?

To find your Slack Bot Token, you’ll need to create a Slack App and add a bot user to it. Follow these steps: 1. Go to the Slack API website: Slack API: Applications | Slack and sign in with your Slack account. 2. Click on “Create New App” and fill in the required details. 3. Once the app is created, navigate to the “OAuth & Permissions” page in the app settings. 4. Scroll down to the “Scopes” section and add the required bot scopes (e.g., chat:write for sending messages). 5. Click “Install App” at the top of the page and authorize the app in your Slack workspace. 6. After installation, you’ll be redirected back to the “OAuth & Permissions” page. Your Slack Bot Token will be displayed under the “Bot Token” section. It should start with xoxb-. Make sure to keep your Slack Bot Token secure and do not share it publicly.

Setting up the Slack Bot is too complicated.

Rewrite the code so that it provides me variables of how long it took to run the function. I’ll pass it another way.

I understand, here’s a modified version of the code that calculates the execution time and memory usage without sending the information via Slack: ```
export default defineComponent({ async run({ steps, $ }) { const startTime = process.hrtime(); const startMemory = process.memoryUsage().rss; // Add your workflow steps here const endTime = process.hrtime(startTime); const endMemory = process.memoryUsage().rss; const elapsedTime = endTime[0] + endTime[1] / 1e9; const memoryUsage = (endMemory - startMemory) / (1024 * 1024); return { executionTime: elapsedTime.toFixed(2) + " seconds", memoryUsage: memoryUsage.toFixed(2) + " MB", }; }, });

can you modify your previous code suggestion to use the slack app instead?

import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform";

export default defineComponent({
  props: {
    slackBotToken: {
      type: "string",
      label: "Slack Bot Token",
      secret: true,
    },
    slackChannel: {
      type: "string",
      label: "Slack Channel ID",
    },
  },
  async run({ steps, $ }) {
    const startTime = process.hrtime();
    const startMemory = process.memoryUsage().rss;

    // Add your workflow steps here

    const endTime = process.hrtime(startTime);
    const endMemory = process.memoryUsage().rss;
    const elapsedTime = endTime[0] + endTime[1] / 1e9;
    const memoryUsage = (endMemory - startMemory) / (1024 * 1024);

    const message = `Workflow execution time: ${elapsedTime.toFixed(2)} seconds\nMemory usage: ${memoryUsage.toFixed(2)} MB`;

    await axios($, {
      method: "POST",
      url: "https://slack.com/api/chat.postMessage",
      headers: {
        Authorization: `Bearer ${this.slackBotToken}`,
      },
      data: {
        channel: this.slackChannel,
        text: message,
      },
    });
  },
});

I can modify the code to use the slack app instead of the slackBotToken. Here’s the updated code: import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"; export default defineComponent({ props: { slack: { type: "app", app: "slack", }, slackChannel: { type: "string", label: "Slack Channel ID", }, }, async run({ steps, $ }) { const startTime = process.hrtime(); const startMemory = process.memoryUsage().rss; // Add your workflow steps here const endTime = process.hrtime(startTime); const endMemory = process.memoryUsage().rss; const elapsedTime = endTime[0] + endTime[1] / 1e9; const memoryUsage = (endMemory - startMemory) / (1024 * 1024); const message = `Workflow execution time: ${elapsedTime.toFixed(2)} seconds\nMemory usage: ${memoryUsage.toFixed(2)} MB`; await axios($, { method: "POST", url: "https://slack.com/api/chat.postMessage", headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${this.slack.$auth.oauth_access_token}`, }, data: { channel: this.slackChannel, text: message, }, }); }, }); This code uses the slack app to authenticate and send the message to the specified Slack channel.
