🌐 HTTP Action Configuration

The HTTP action allows you to send HTTP or HTTPS requests within your Chatflow, either as a trigger or an action. This facilitates interaction with external REST APIs, web services, or other HTTP endpoints.

Features:​

  • Support for all standard HTTP methods: GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, PATCH, etc.
  • Flexible request configuration including URL, query parameters, headers, and body.
  • Built-in authentication support to secure your requests.

Authentication Support:​

  • Use HTTP Authentication: Enable basic HTTP authentication.
  • Username / Password: Enter credentials for authentication.
  • Custom HTTP Headers: Add any number of custom key-value headers for advanced use cases such as tokens, content types, or custom metadata.

Usage:​

  • Configure the HTTP method and URL or endpoint.
  • Set query parameters and path variables as needed.
  • Add headers and specify the request body format (JSON, form data, raw text, files).
  • Handle response data within your Chatflow for further processing.

Use Cases:​

  • Call external APIs to fetch or send data.
  • Integrate with third-party web services.
  • Trigger Chatflow based on external HTTP requests.
  • Automate communication with RESTful endpoints.

This action provides seamless connectivity to external systems and APIs, enabling Chatflow to participate in modern web ecosystems and leverage external services effectively.
