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: "Monthly Schedule",
  version: "0.0.2",

  type: "source",
  description: "Trigger your workflow on one or more days each month at a specific time (with timezone support).",
  props: {
    schedule,
    cron: {
      propDefinition: [

        "cron",
      ],
      default: {
        cron: "0 10 1 * *",
      },
    },
  },
};

Threads Overview#

The Threads API on Pipedream enables you to automate your team's communication in Threads.com, a platform designed to make work discussions more organized and accessible.

  async run({ $ }) {
    const {

      blocks,
    } = this;

    const post = await this.threads.postThread({
      $,
      channelID,
      blocks,
    });

    $.export("$summary", `Thread successfully posted "${post?.result?.threadID}"`);
    return post;
  },
};

Action Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
Threads	`threads`	`app`	This component uses the Threads app.
Channel ID	`channelID`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Blocks	`blocks`	`string[]`	Add one or more blocks to a thread. You can use Markdown to format text. Try `# This is a block`

Action Authentication#

Threads uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your Threads account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to Threads APIs in both code and no-code steps.

You can create a new API key and find your existing keys at https://trythreads.com/apiKeys

When you create a new API key, we create a new Bot user for the key. The Bot user has the same posting privileges as any member in your organization.
