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: "Monthly Schedule",
  version: "0.0.2",
  key: "schedule-monthly",
  type: "source",
  description: "Trigger your workflow on one or more days each month 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.

Webflow Overview#

The Webflow API empowers developers to programmatically interact with their Webflow site, enabling automation, data synchronization, and complex integrations with other apps and services. With Pipedream's serverless platform, you can harness this API to craft custom workflows that react to events, manage content dynamically, or extend the capabilities of your Webflow projects by linking them with a vast array of other applications.

Action Code#

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

              : "See the documentation for additional information about [Field Types & Item Values](https://developers.webflow.com/reference/field-types-item-values).",
          optional: !field.required,

    } = this;

    const webflowClient = webflow._createApiClient();

    const response = await webflowClient.createItem({
