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",
      ],
    },
  },
};

LoopMessage Overview#

The LoopMessage API offers you the ability to send, receive, and manage messages within your applications. Through Pipedream's integration, you can harness this API to automate communication processes, organize message flows, and even connect to various data sources or other APIs to create complex messaging workflows. With Pipedream, you can trigger actions based on events, schedule messages, and interact with users in real-time without managing servers or infrastructure.

      return `Successfully sent a text message with ID \`${response.message_id}\``;
    },
