Call an endpoint
Call an endpoint calls an internal or external API endpoint and returns the response for use in later steps. Use it to fetch data from third-party systems before making decisions in your automation.
How it works
- The automation reaches the Call an endpoint step
- The step sends an HTTP request to the configured endpoint
- The response data is returned and available to downstream steps
- The automation continues to the next step
Set up the action
- Open the automation builder and add a new step
- Under Advanced, select Call an endpoint
- Configure the endpoint URL, method, and any request parameters
tip
Use Add dynamic content to include data from previous steps in your request URL, headers, or body.
Outputs
After the step runs, the API response is available to downstream steps via Add dynamic content.
