Type HTTP
HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) is the most common method for sending and receiving data between systems over the web. It’s used to call REST APIs, webhooks, or third-party services like Slack, GitHub, or OpenAI.
When to use:
Use HTTP when your workflow needs to:
- Connect with external services that expose REST APIs (e.g., https://api.github.com or https://api.openai.com).
- Send GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, or DELETE requests.
- Work with JSON, form-data, or simple HTTP headers.
Benefits:
- Easy to set up and widely supported by most APIs.
- Human-readable (uses JSON).
- Ideal for integrating cloud services, web apps, and REST-based APIs.
- Works across any platform or language.
