Action: send HTTP request

This action will transmit an HTTP request to a given URL. This is especially useful when integrating with third-party services in which there is a need to transmit content to an external API or service.

Limitations

Currently, this action does not parse the response or make the contents of the response available to subsequent actions. Therefore, it may be difficult to detect and respond to errors.

Input

Variable	Type	Description
URL	URL	The URL to make the HTTP request to.
Method	String	The HTTP method of the request. Supports GET, POST, PUT, PATCH and DELETE.
Content-type	String	The content-type of the request.
Request body	String	The body of the request, used in POST, PUT, PATCH and DELETE requests.
Headers	KeyValue	The HTTP headers of the request.

Authenticating with RingCentral APIs

When the HTTP request action is used to call a RingCentral API, which we detect by looking at the hostname of the URL, the request's Authorization header will be set for you automatically using the workflow runner's access token.

Output

None.
