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: "Custom Interval",
  version: "0.0.2",
  key: "schedule-custom-interval",
  type: "source",
  description: "Trigger your workflow every N hours, minutes or seconds.",
  props: {
    schedule,
    cron: {
      propDefinition: [
        schedule,
        "cron",
      ],
    },
  },
};

Trigger Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI and CLI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
Schedule	`schedule`	`app`	This component uses the Schedule app.
Cron Schedule	`cron`	`$.interface.timer`	Enter a cron expression

Trigger Authentication#

Shadertoy Overview#

The Shadertoy API opens a window to a universe of visual creations by providing programmatic access to a wealth of shaders created by the Shadertoy community. These shaders are snippets of GLSL code that produce stunning graphics and visual effects. In Pipedream, you can leverage this API to trigger workflows that interact with these shaders, such as retrieving shader information, displaying shader visuals, or even monitoring the latest creations. By combining Shadertoy API with Pipedream's capability to connect to numerous other services, your creative and technical projects can flourish with dynamic, visually rich content.

Action Code#

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

export default {

      label: "Asset Source",
      description: "The source to the specific asset",
    },
  },
  async run({ $ }) {
    const response = await this.app.getShaderAsset({
      $,
      assetSource: this.assetSource,
    });

    $.export("$summary", `Successfully accessed asset "${this.assetSource}"`);
