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.

Ghost.org (Admin API) Overview#

The Ghost.org (Admin API) provides a powerful platform for content management and distribution, allowing developers to programmatically interact with their Ghost site. With this API, you can automate content creation, manage posts, pages, and tags, and dynamically adjust site settings. This enables seamless content workflows, from drafting and scheduling posts to curating featured articles and managing user access. When used with Pipedream, these capabilities expand, enabling integrations with countless other services to create sophisticated, automated content pipelines that can save time and enhance your content strategy.
