HTTP Send Request

The HTTP Send Request node sends a request to the provided URL with available HTTP request options. Use this operation to send an HTTP request to your services.

The HTTP Send Request enables functionality to send requests to a provided endpoint. You can use it to build more complex use cases that require triggering to an external service based on a condition. You can also use it to send generalized information from between the workflow execution steps to an outside service.

Insert an HTTP Send Request node into your workflow. In the right panel, you can enter the URL and http method. You can also add the optional fields listed in the panel below and add it to the node. The output of the http request can also be saved inside an S3 bucket and its value can be passed in the options panel.
