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: "Weekly schedule",
  version: "0.0.1",
  key: "schedule-weekly",
  type: "source",
  description: "Trigger your workflow on one or more days each week at a specific time (with timezone support).",
  props: {
    schedule,
    cron: {
      propDefinition: [
        schedule,
        "cron",
      ],
      default: {
        cron: "0 10 * * 1",
      },
    },
  },
};

ClickTime Overview#

The ClickTime API provides programmatic access to the ClickTime platform, which specializes in time tracking and project management. Leveraging this API within Pipedream allows you to automate various aspects of time tracking, employee management, and reporting. For example, you can create workflows that sync time entry data with other systems, automate notifications based on time tracking metrics, or even manage projects and tasks dynamically. Pipedream's serverless platform facilitates these automations by triggering workflows with HTTP requests, schedules, or app-based events, and offers the capability to connect to numerous other services and APIs to extend functionality further.
