Details#

This integration uses pre-built, source-available components from Pipedream's GitHub repo. These components are developed by Pipedream and the community, and verified and maintained by Pipedream.

To contribute an update to an existing component or create a new component, create a PR on GitHub. If you're new to Pipedream component development, you can start with quickstarts for trigger span and action development, and then review the component API reference.

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",
      },
    },
  },
};

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#

Gravity Forms Overview#

The Gravity Forms API allows you to interact programmatically with Gravity Forms, a WordPress form plugin, to create, update, delete, and retrieve form entries. Within Pipedream, you can leverage this API to automate workflows, integrate with other apps, and manipulate form data in real-time. By connecting Gravity Forms to Pipedream's serverless platform, you open up possibilities to sync form submissions with databases, trigger notifications, or even process payments automatically.
