HTTP Endpoint (Activity)


  • Purpose: To create an HTTP endpoint that can trigger the start of a workflow when an HTTP request is received at a specific URL.

  • Functionality: The "HTTP Endpoint" activity allows you to define a URL path and HTTP methods (e.g., GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) that, when accessed, will initiate the execution of the workflow. This effectively turns your workflow into a web service endpoint.

  • Use Cases:
    • Creating Webhooks: Exposing a workflow as a webhook endpoint that can be triggered by external services or events.
    • Building REST APIs: Developing simple RESTful APIs by creating workflows that respond to HTTP requests with data or actions.
    • Integrating with Web Applications: Allowing web applications to trigger and interact with workflows by sending HTTP requests to defined endpoints.
