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.
Cron Schedule	`cron`	`$.interface.timer`	Enter a cron expression

Google Gemini Overview#

The Google Gemini API is a cutting-edge tool from Google that enables developers to leverage AI models like Imagen and MusicLM to create and manipulate images and music based on textual descriptions. With Pipedream, you can harness this API to automate workflows that integrate AI-generated content into a variety of applications, from generating visuals for social media posts to composing background music for videos. Pipedream's serverless platform allows you to connect Google Gemini API with other apps to create complex, event-driven workflows without managing infrastructure.
