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.

Voice Monkey Overview#

The Voice Monkey API provides a bridge between Alexa and Pipedream, enabling you to send custom announcements, notifications, or commands to your Alexa devices. With this API, you can trigger Alexa to speak a custom message or execute routines, leveraging the power of voice interaction in your automated workflows. It's particularly useful for smart home enthusiasts, productivity hackers, and businesses looking to integrate voice notifications into their services.

import voiceMonkey from "../../voice_monkey.app.mjs";
import common from "../common/base.mjs";

export default {
  ...common,
  key: "voice_monkey-display-image",
  name: "Display Image",

      return {
        monkey: this.monkey,
        image: this.imageUrl,
      };
    },
  },
