HTTP(s) Request

The HTTP Request node is one of the most versatile nodes in workflow. It allows you to make HTTP requests to query data from any app or service with a REST API.

The HTTP Request connector allows workflows to send HTTP requests to external applications or services that provide a REST API. This connector can be used to retrieve data, send data, or interact with external systems directly from a workflow. It is one of the most versatile connectors and is commonly used to integrate iMBrace workflows with third-party platforms and services.

When using this connector, you are creating a REST API request, so basic familiarity with API concepts such as endpoints, request methods, headers, and request bodies may be helpful.
