What Is HTTP Request Automation?

The HTTP Request allows your automations to send HTTP requests. HTTP stands for HyperText Transfer Protocol. It’s a way for computers to communicate over the internet. Think of an HTTP request like sending a letter to a another app. This integration facilitates seamless communication with external APIs.

HTTP Request Actions

Here are the actions you can use in your workflows:

(ACTION) Send HTTP Request

Initiates the process of sending an HTTP request to a specified URL.

HTTP Request Automation Settings

Connector options give you full control over the HTTP Request automation:

Trigger: New Form Submission

🏷️ Field

🔤 Description

METHOD

The type of action you want to perform on a specified resource.

URL

The endpoint address of the resource you want to interact with.

HEADERS

Key-value pairs sent with the request to provide additional context.

QUERY PARAMS

Key-value pairs appended to the URL to filter or customize the request.

BODY TYPE

Specifies the format of the data sent in the request body.

    ​

  8. Fill in the header as content-type and application/json.
    ​
