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.

The Dex API offers a path to streamline and automate your relationship management by allowing you to sync, update, and interact with your personal Dex CRM data programmatically. On Pipedream, you can leverage this API to create powerful automations that keep your network vibrant and your connections strong, without manual effort.
