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",
      },
    },
  },
};

Docupilot Overview#

Docupilot offers powerful document automation capabilities, allowing you to create dynamic documents based on templates and data inputs. With the Docupilot API, you can integrate this functionality directly into Pipedream workflows, triggering document generation from a myriad of events and data sources. Think of automating contract creation when a new deal is won in your CRM, or sending personalized letters en masse with the click of a button. The API empowers you to craft, distribute, and manage documents efficiently and programmatically.
