Getting Started#

This integration creates a workflow with a Twist trigger and Delay action. When you configure and deploy the workflow, it will run on Pipedream's servers 24x7 for free.

Select this integration
Configure the New Group (Instant) trigger
1. Connect your Twist account
2. Optional- Select a Workspace
Configure the Delay Workflow action
1. Connect your Delay account
2. Configure Duration to delay (value)
3. Select a Duration to delay (unit)
Deploy the workflow
Send a test event to validate your setup
Turn on the trigger

Details#

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.

Twist Overview#

Twist is a communication app designed for team collaboration, with a focus on organized, threaded conversations. Using the Twist API on Pipedream, you can automate workflows to enhance productivity, streamline communication, and integrate with other tools. From automating notifications to syncing tasks across platforms, the API unlocks valuable use cases for teams needing to stay in sync without the noise of email or less structured chat apps.

Trigger Code#

import common from "../common/common.mjs";

export default {
  ...common,
  name: "New Group (Instant)",
  version: "0.0.1",
  type: "source",
  key: "twist-new-group-instant",
  description: "Emit new event for any new group added in a workspace [See the docs here](https://developer.twist.com/v3/#outgoing-webhook)",
  methods: {
    ...common.methods,
    async getHistoricalEvents() {
      return this.twist.getGroups({
        workspace: this.workspace,
      });
    },
    getHookActivationData() {
      return {
        target_url: this.http.endpoint,
        event: "group_added",
        workspace_id: this.workspace,
      };
    },
    getMeta(body) {
      const {
        id,
        name,
      } = body;
      return {
        id,
        summary: name,
        ts: Date.now(),
      };
    },
  },
};

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
Twist	`twist`	`app`	This component uses the Twist app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
N/A	`http`	`$.interface.http`	This component uses `$.interface.http` to generate a unique URL when the component is first instantiated. Each request to the URL will trigger the `run()` method of the component.
Workspace	`workspace`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger Authentication#

Twist uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your Twist account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into Twist and grant Pipedream permission to connect to your account. Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any Twist API.

Pipedream requests the following authorization scopes when you connect your account:

user:writeuser:readworkspaces:writeworkspaces:readchannels:removechannels:writechannels:readthreads:removethreads:writethreads:readcomments:removecomments:writecomments:readgroups:removegroups:writegroups:readmessages:removemessages:writemessages:readreactions:removereactions:writereactions:readsearch:readattachments:writeattachments:readnotifications:writenotifications:read

Action#

Delay Workflow on Delay

Description:Delay the execution of your workflow for a specific amount of time (does not count against your compute time).

Version:0.0.1

Delay Overview#

The Delay API in Pipedream is a built-in function that allows you to pause a workflow for a specified amount of time. This can be incredibly useful when you need to stagger API calls to avoid rate limits, wait for an external process to complete, or simply introduce a delay between actions in a sequence. With precision up to milliseconds, the Delay API provides a simple yet powerful tool for managing timing in automation workflows.

Action Code#

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

export default {
  name: "Delay Workflow",
  version: "0.0.1",
  key: "delay-workflow-delay",
  type: "action",
  description: "Delay the execution of your workflow for a specific amount of time (does not count against your compute time).",
  props: {
    delay,
    delayDurationValue: {
      propDefinition: [
        delay,
        "delayDurationValue",
      ],
      label: "Duration to delay (value)",
      description: "Specify a value for how long you'd like to delay your workflow.",
    },
    delayDurationUnit: {
      propDefinition: [
        delay,
        "delayDurationUnit",
      ],
      label: "Duration to delay (unit)",
      description: "Specify the time unit for delaying the workflow.",
    },
  },
  async run({ $ }) {
    const milliseconds = this.delay.convertToMilliseconds(
      this.delayDurationUnit,
      this.delayDurationValue,
    );
    const resp = await $.flow.delay(milliseconds);
    $.export(
      "$summary",
      `Successfully configured this workflow to delay for ${this.delayDurationValue} ${this.delayDurationUnit}.`,
    );
    return resp;
  },
};
