RESTful Request

The RESTful Request step calls any HTTP endpoint. Use it when there is no configured app
instance for the target — a partner webhook, an internal service, a one-off API.

Where an app instance does exist, App Request is the better step: it carries
the credentials and knows the available resources and actions.

Configuration

Field	Notes
Method	The HTTP method
URL	The endpoint. Variables can be used to build it
Content Type	The body format — JSON, JSON Patch, XML, Text, HTML, CSV, FHIR, x-www-form-urlencoded, form-data, or None
Body	The request body, supplied as text or built from earlier step data
Headers	Each a Key and Value pair. Authentication headers go here
Query parameters	Each a Key and Value pair
Return Data Type	The data type to interpret the response as, so later steps can address its fields

Output

The response, available to later steps. Setting Return Data Type is what makes the response
addressable field by field rather than as raw text.

Notes

Credentials placed in headers here are part of the integration's configuration. Where the
target system is one you call regularly, an app instance keeps them out of the workflow.
Calls made by this step are recorded in the integration's execution log.
