I want to execute a line when there is timeout in the Pipedream workflow, how can I acheive
To execute a specific action, such as sending a message via Line, when a timeout occurs in a Pipedream workflow, you can follow these steps. However, it’s important to note that directly catching a timeout within the same workflow that times out is not straightforward since the workflow itself would have been halted. Instead, you can set up monitoring or use external mechanisms to trigger another workflow in case of a timeout. Here’s a general approach using Line for notification: 1. Monitor Workflow Executions: Use Pipedream’s monitoring features or external monitoring tools to watch for timeouts or failed executions of your primary workflow. 2. Trigger a Secondary Workflow: When a timeout is detected, trigger a secondary workflow. This can be done using Pipedream’s built-in mechanisms like webhook triggers or by using external tools that call a Pipedream workflow’s HTTP endpoint. 3. Send a Line Message in the Secondary Workflow: In the secondary workflow, use the Line integration to send a notification about the timeout. Here’s an example component code that sends a message via Line: import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"; export default defineComponent({ props: { line: { type: "app", app: "line", }, }, async run({ steps, $ }) { const message = "A timeout occurred in the primary workflow."; // Customize your message return await axios($, { method: "POST", url: `https://notify-api.line.me/api/notify`, headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${this.line.$auth.oauth_access_token}`, }, data: `message=${encodeURIComponent(message)}`, }); }, }); Remember to replace "A timeout occurred in the primary workflow." with the specific message you want to send or any details about the timeout. This approach requires manual intervention or external monitoring to detect timeouts and trigger the secondary workflow. Directly handling timeouts within the same workflow that experiences the timeout is not feasible because the workflow execution would be stopped once the timeout limit is reached.

tell me how to trigger another workflow if one workflow gives timeout
To handle a scenario where one workflow times out and you want to trigger another workflow, you can follow these steps: 1. Monitor for Timeout Errors: First, ensure you’re monitoring your workflow for timeout errors. This can be done by checking the execution logs for your workflow. If a workflow times out, it will be indicated in the logs. 2. Use the Pipedream API to Trigger Another Workflow: If a workflow times out, you can use the Pipedream API to trigger another workflow programmatically. You’ll need the API endpoint of the workflow you wish to trigger and an API key. Here’s an example code snippet that you can add to the end of your workflow. This code checks if the current workflow is about to time out and triggers another workflow using the Pipedream API: import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform" export default defineComponent({ async run({ steps, $ }) { // Replace `workflow_id` with the ID of the workflow you want to trigger const targetWorkflowId = "your_target_workflow_id"; // Replace `YOUR_API_KEY` with your Pipedream API key const apiKey = "YOUR_API_KEY"; try { // Your workflow logic here // ... } catch (error) { if (error.message.includes("Timeout")) { // Trigger another workflow if a timeout error occurs await axios($, { method: "POST", url: `https://api.pipedream.com/v1/workflows/${targetWorkflowId}/dispatches`, headers: { "Authorization": `Bearer ${apiKey}`, "Content-Type": "application/json", }, data: { // Optional: Include any data you want to pass to the triggered workflow }, }); } else { // Handle other errors console.error("An error occurred:", error); } } }, }) Please note: - Replace your_target_workflow_id with the ID of the workflow you want to trigger. - Replace YOUR_API_KEY with your actual Pipedream API key. - This example uses a try-catch block to catch any errors that occur during the execution of your workflow. If a timeout error is caught, it triggers another workflow using the Pipedream API. 3. Adjust Workflow Settings: Consider adjusting the [execution timeout limit](https://pipedream.com/docs/work
but using the above mentioned logic it is not going into catch in the case of timeout
It seems like you’re experiencing an issue where your code is not entering the catch block in the event of a timeout. To assist you effectively, I would need more specific details about the context in which this issue is occurring. Are you using the axios request within a Pipedream component, and are you attempting to handle a timeout scenario? In general, when using axios with Pipedream, you can configure a timeout for your HTTP request by including a timeout property in the request configuration. If the request takes longer than the specified timeout, it should throw an error that you can catch. Here’s a basic example of how you might set up such a request: import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"; export default defineComponent({ async run({ steps, $ }) { try { return await axios($, { url: "https://yourapi.com/data", method: "GET", timeout: 5000, // Timeout set to 5000ms (5 seconds) }); } catch (error) { if (error.code === 'ECONNABORTED') { console.log('The request took too long and was aborted due to timeout.'); } else { console.log('An error occurred:', error.message); } // Handle the error or timeout accordingly } }, }); In this example, if the request does not complete within 5 seconds, it will throw an error. The catch block checks if the error code is ECONNABORTED, which indicates a timeout, and logs a message accordingly. You can customize the error handling as needed for your specific use case. If you’re encountering issues with this approach or if your scenario is different, could you provide more details about the code you’re using and the specific behavior you’re expecting? This will help me provide a more targeted solution.
you can’t catch timeouts, but you can listen for the timeout with a custom error workflow. Can you show us how to set that up?
To set up a custom error workflow to listen for timeouts and handle them according to your needs, follow these steps: 1. Create a New Workflow: First, you need to create a new workflow that will be triggered by errors, including timeouts. You can do this by visiting Create a new workflow. You do not need to add a trigger to this workflow since it will be triggered by the $errors event. 2. Create a Subscription: Next, you need to create a subscription that links errors from your workflows to this new error-handling workflow. You can do this by making a request to the Pipedream API. Replace o_abc123 with your workspace ID (found in your Account Settings), p_abc123 with the workflow ID of the new error-handling workflow you just created, and <api_key> with your Pipedream API key. bash curl -X POST \ 'https://api.pipedream.com/v1/subscriptions?emitter_id=o_abc123&event_name=$errors&listener_id=p_abc123' \ -H "Authorization: Bearer <api_key>" 3. Generate an Error: To test your setup, generate an error in a live version of any of your workflows. Remember, errors raised while you’re testing your workflow in the editor do not send errors to the $errors stream. This error should trigger the workflow you set up in step #1. 4. Handle the Error: In the error-handling workflow, you can now build any logic you want to handle errors across your workflows. For example, you could send a notification to Slack, log the error to a database, or send it to a monitoring service like Datadog. This setup allows you to listen for timeouts and other errors globally across all your workflows and handle them in a centralized manner, rather than relying on email notifications or manual checks. For more detailed information, please refer to the Process errors with custom logic, instead of email documentation.
Pi is overcomplicating things again! 
You don’t need to setup a subscription, you can just use the native trigger in the builder.
Note: I don’t see that option in the v3 builder though.
FYI 
Pi is only over-complicating because we don’t have the docs on the UI trigger written yet, but I’ll add that. Noted re: v3 and I’ll let the team know
