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

Cloud Convert Overview#

The Cloud Convert API offers a robust solution for file conversion, supporting a vast array of file formats. With Pipedream, you can harness this versatility to create automated workflows that trigger file conversions, process the resulting files, and integrate with other services. By combining Cloud Convert with Pipedream's connectivity to hundreds of apps, you can craft custom automation that saves time and removes the friction from multi-format file management tasks.

Action Code#

import app from "../../cloud_convert.app.mjs";
import constants from "../../common/constants.mjs";

export default {
  key: "cloud_convert-convert-file",
  name: "Convert File",
  description: "Converts an input file to a specified output format using CloudConvert. [See the documentation](https://cloudconvert.com/api/v2/convert#convert-tasks)",

  props: {
    app,
    input: {
      propDefinition: [
        app,
        "taskId",
        () => ({
          filters: {
            ["filter[status]"]: constants.TASK_STATUS.FINISHED,
          },
        }),
      ],
    },
    outputFormat: {
      label: "Output Format",
      description: "The output format of the file to be converted",
      propDefinition: [
        app,
        "conversionType",
        () => ({
          mapper: ({ output_format: value }) => value,
          filters: {
            ["filter[operation]"]: constants.TASK_OPERATION.CONVERT,
          },
        }),
      ],
    },
  },
  methods: {
    convertFile(args = {}) {
      return this.app.post({
        path: "/convert",
        ...args,
      });
    },
  },
  async run({ $ }) {
    const {
      convertFile,
      input,
      outputFormat,
    } = this;

    const response = await convertFile({
      $,
      data: {
        input,
        output_format: outputFormat,
      },
    });

    $.export("$summary", `Successfully converted file with ID \`${response.data.id}\``);
    return response;
  },
};

Action Configuration#

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

Pipedream requests the following authorization scopes when you connect your account:

user.readuser.writetask.readtask.writewebhook.readwebhook.write
