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.

Crunchbase Overview#

The Crunchbase API grants access to a trove of information on companies, investors, and the key players steering them. With Pipedream, you can harness this data to enrich CRM leads, track investments, or automate market research. By marrying the Crunchbase API with Pipedream's serverless platform, you unlock a realm of possibilities, creating workflows that respond dynamically to events like funding rounds or acquisitions, or that periodically aggregate data for analysis.
