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",
      ],
    },
  },
};

Waitwhile Overview#

Waitwhile is a queue management and scheduling platform that lets you optimize appointments and waitlists, enhancing the customer experience. By leveraging the Waitwhile API on Pipedream, you can automate processes such as updating waitlists, syncing customer data, or triggering notifications when a customer's status changes. This seamless integration can streamline operations for businesses like restaurants, healthcare providers, or service centers where queue management is crucial.
