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: "Custom Interval",
  version: "0.0.2",
  key: "schedule-custom-interval",
  type: "source",
  description: "Trigger your workflow every N hours, minutes or seconds.",
  props: {

    cron: {
      propDefinition: [
        schedule,
        "cron",
      ],
    },
  },
};

Asana Overview

The Asana API taps into the feature-rich project management platform, allowing you to automate tasks, sync data across apps, and enhance team collaboration. With the Asana API on Pipedream, you can create tasks, update project timelines, and trigger workflows from events within Asana—like new tasks or comments—streamlining your project management processes. Pipedream’s serverless platform empowers you to build complex workflows with minimal overhead, integrating Asana with numerous other services to maximize productivity and reduce manual workload.
