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",
  key: "schedule-monthly",
  type: "source",
  description: "Trigger your workflow on one or more days each month at a specific time (with timezone support).",
  props: {
    schedule,
    cron: {
      propDefinition: [
        schedule,
        "cron",
      ],
      default: {
        cron: "0 10 1 * *",
      },
    },
  },
};

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
