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.

export default {

      ],
      default: {
        cron: "0 10 * * 1",
      },
    },
  },
};

PublisherKit Overview#

The PublisherKit API offers a suite of tools for digital content management, including the ability to manage and distribute various multimedia content like articles, videos, and podcasts. Integrating this API with Pipedream allows you to automate content workflows, sync data across platforms, and react to events in real-time. For instance, you could automatically publish scheduled content, analyze content performance, or update cross-platform content statuses.

Action Code#

import publisherkit from "../../publisherkit.app.mjs";

export default {
  key: "publisherkit-create-image",
  name: "Create Image",
  description: "Generates a new image within PublisherKit. [See the documentation](https://publisherkit.com/documentation/api)",

      ],
    },
    modifications: {
      type: "string[]",
      label: "Modifications",
      description: "Array of objects representing which elements to modify in the template",
    },

      alertType: "info",
      content: `Additional information regarding **Modifications** can be found in the **[documentation](https://publisherkit.com/documentation/api)**
        \nThe "name" must match the name of the element in the template.
        \n
        \nIf the element is text and you want to change it, it should be added as "text":"new text".
