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

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
Schedule	`schedule`	`app`	This component uses the Schedule app.

Data.Police.UK Overview#

The Data.Police.UK API provides access to a wide array of UK crime data, allowing users to query information about street-level crimes, outcomes, and the location of police stations. You can leverage this data within Pipedream to build automated workflows that react to new data, analyze crime trends, or integrate with other services to enhance public awareness and safety. With Pipedream, you can create serverless workflows that connect Data.Police.UK API with other apps to streamline tasks, generate reports, or trigger alerts based on crime data.
