Copy-paste the answer
Task-shaped recipes for the searches you actually make — retry a failed webhook, schedule a daily report, rate-limit OpenAI calls. Each one is a complete request you can paste and run, plus exactly what Fliq handles for you.
Retry a failed webhook automatically, with exponential backoff
“my webhook delivery to a third party keeps failing and I need it to retry automatically with backoff”
Hand the delivery to Fliq instead of retrying inline. It re-sends on any non-2xx, backs off exponentially, and keeps a full attempt log — no retry loop in your code.
Scheduling
“I want to send a summary email every morning at 8am without running a cron server”
Send a daily report email on a cron schedule
Create one schedule with a 5-part cron expression. Fliq calls your report endpoint every day at the time you set — no server, no node-cron, no missed runs after a deploy.
“I need to call an endpoint 24 hours from now and a setTimeout won't survive a deploy”
Delay a job by N hours (a reliable setTimeout)
Set scheduled_at to a future timestamp and Fliq fires the HTTP call then — minutes or weeks out. It's setTimeout that survives restarts, with retries and a record of every fire.
“I kicked off an export/render that takes minutes and I need to poll until it's ready”
Poll an API until a long-running job finishes
Schedule a check, and have that check re-schedule itself until the upstream job is done. Fliq drives the polling loop on a timer so your process doesn't have to sit and wait.
“I need to run something later from a Cloudflare Worker but there's no setTimeout that survives”
Schedule a background job from a Cloudflare Worker
Workers can't keep a timer alive past the response. Make one fetch to Fliq with a future scheduled_at and Fliq calls your Worker back on time — no Durable Objects, no Queues.
Rate limiting
“I'm batch-calling the OpenAI API and keep getting 429 rate-limit errors”
Rate-limit OpenAI calls with a buffer (stop hitting 429s)
Create a buffer pointed at the OpenAI endpoint with a requests-per-second cap, then push your prompts in. Fliq releases them at your rate, in order, retrying 429s for free.
“I need to update thousands of Shopify products but the API throttles me hard”
Drip-feed Shopify bulk updates with a buffer
Shopify's API is strictly rate-limited. Push every product update into a buffer capped at 2/sec and Fliq feeds them to Shopify in order, retrying any 429s without burning a retry.
